I found my first gray hair when I was probably 33.

I have blond hair, so as I've grayed through the years, it really looks like my hair is getting a lighter blond. I expect one day the balance will tip and it will just be white.

I'm going bald and will probably will have lost all off the top by the time that I'm seventy.

I couldn't care less.

Gray hair will come with age. Try not to stress about or it'll happen sooner.

I think my first grey showed up around age 25, then they started falling out. Now I'm happy to see a grey one.

I started going grey on the sides in my mid 20's. Now at 51 I'm completely white. But, I still have it. I think it looks really goofy for someone in their 50's or 60's with jet black hair. Comb overs are worse!!!!

Totally agree.... I'm 49, about 75% gray and fine with it. I'll probably be bald in the next 10 years or so (like my dad). To those men who are aproaching 70 and either shoe-polish thier hair or grow one strand 5 and 1/2 feet long and swirl it around the top of your head.... Get over it!

I used to have premature gray hair. Now it's just gray hair.
But as a good friend says "don't care what color it comes in, long as it don't come loose."

I couldn't agree more Grey hair looks good on a guy. Combover looks bad.

A freind of mine died his hair black one time. He asked me how I liked it. I said "You died your hair? It looks like you killed it."

I have a gard time not laughing at guys with the combover, jet balck hair or worse yet...toupee

At 49 if you still have your hair, you'll be OK. PS, men get their hair tendencies from their mother not their father. I forgot the one strand syndrome!!!! Better to set the clippers at 0 or 1, that would be my plan!!

Turning gray is inevitable so no, I really do not care and when it starts falling out I'll just shave my head like JJ.....

Sorry, Raf. But if it's any consolation, I also received a crocked nose and colorblindness with the DNA package from mom & dad.
