By the way grey or white really really doesn't look bad on most guys

It looks like dogshit on women but not on you guys. In fact it's often sexy as hell. You guys might die a decade earlier but don't sweat the greys guys. If it's pubes ? maybe shave

I mean, you still look good.

My greys are a highlight for me, and the strands of light in my hair get compliments when noticed. So iunno, maybe I just pull off femme greys? Or I don't and everyone is just nice to me. Either way that's okay.

Grey hair looks fine on any woman with black or dark brown hair. Like everything else Europeans age like the milk they love so much.

I started getting grey hairs in my early 20s. I was told it was caused by genetics and not getting enough of a couple B-vitamins for long periods. I'm in my late 30s now and my hair is probably 70% grey. I've been coloring my hair since age 32, because of going gray almost a decade earlier. I have found that going lighter than my natural hair shade looks far more natural than going my true shade or a darker shade when coloring my hair. I'll probably keep coloring my hair until I'm 42-43 and then let nature take over.

I let my sister-in-law dye mine back to its original black once and I looked ridiculous. The colors it turned returning to grey were pretty great though.

No idea, it started falling out before it turned gray and I've been shaving it since. My beard comes in gray when I'm lazy about shaving though.

I got my first patch of salt around the temples when I turned 30. That was right at the beginning of Trump's reign though, which might have had more to do with it.

Yep, I agree. I found that out the hard way going near-black for a while. I call it "mid-life crisis" hair coloring, because it looks like every old guy/gal who is attempting to hold onto a long-past youth. If you're mostly caucasian, going lighter gives a lot more leeway for the natural colors to come though, along with the parts that utterly refuse to dye properly, giving a healthy mix of darker, medium, and lighter in one go. Going for mono-color dye jobs just screams mid-life crisis.

I'm a dude, started graying in my temples in my late 20s, now over 50 it's roughly half and half everwhere and completely at the temples

the thing to watch out for are those giant white wires that suddenly start to appear sproinging out your nose - gross AND uncomfortable! keep some scissors or trimmers handy!

my rear end hairs are still a rich glistening brown though....maybe I should get a bidet

I'm 35 and only a few months ago I got a few gray hairs near my temples. I didn't really worry about it because I'm extremely sexy and I know I'll be a middle aged Chad

I'm pretty sure this means I'll live to be about 150, and my genetics are top notch

I'm on a daily watch to see if my balls get any gray hairs. I'll keep the thread updated once one is located and we can decide what to do about it together.

the first time i got grey hairs was in my mid 20s. the Bush recession and Amazon were about to eat the store i worked at and the girl i was sleeping with told me she was worried she may be pregnant. i walked around for 3 weeks feeling like my head was in a vice and afterward i noticed i had exactly 3 grey hairs. i didn't start noticeably greying until i was in my mid-late 30s? i'm mid-40s now and i have salt and pepper hair it looks cool af. i've more-or-less been greying exactly like my mother and my grandmother which means my hair will probably be grey, white and black into my 60s.

Started really noticing at 30 but cuz I'm blonde it's easier to see in my chest/arm hairs.

I'm usually clean shaven but if I let it grow out it comes in as salt and pepper because my beard has always been way darker than my hair

Getting some grays in at the temples but I’m going bald anyway so I buzz my head with a #1 guard. My beard hair comes in reddish and there’s a few grays in there but I keep that short too. Pubes are still nice and brown. The real culprits are the thick white hairs that occasionally pop out of my chest, hate those li’l buggers.

My dad went from dark brown to fully salt and pepper by the time he was 30. I've managed to make it to 35 without a single gray hair on my head, but its starting to creep its way into my beard. I'll just have to settle for looking distinguished as gently caress at 40.

Started graying on my temples in my early 30s, got my first big gray beard hair at like 33? 34?, I am now closing in on "mostly pepper, some salt" levels of gray. I like it, it rules. The gray beard hairs are weird though, they seem to go gray at random and sometimes grow back with color and go gray again. Hair is weird

I got the odd grey hair here and there when I was in my early 20s. By my mid 30s, I was greying on the temples, but the rest of my hair was deep black. At 54, I'm mostly grey, but there are enough black hairs holding on so I still have salt & pepper hair.

Thinning is only just now becoming an issue for me, as the top front is starting to go away. vOv

The worst part for me was the grey beard. I let my beard grow for the first time at the start of the pandemic, and that poo poo made me look like I was in my 60s.
