Just be glad you have fricking hair. I would be very happy just having some on the top of my head, regardless of being grey.

I wish my gray hair would would just gradually spread evenly instead of just patching into my sideburns.

I thought little nick looked pretty good at the the NFL draft for his age, actually thought he looked younger than Kirk buckeye when sitting next to him and I figure he must be 20+ years older. Hair dye works for him and he probably has a for a hair stylist


It's amazing what makeup and hair dye can do.

Welcome to adulthood.

My hair started turning grey when my Pop got the cancer, in addition to me also losing my hair then too.

Then my Mom (no pics, she'd be 100 years old this year) went downhill slowly and that made sure most of them were either grey or gone.

My eyebrows are still dark, except for about ten hairs in each one that I zealously patrol for and remove with tweezers. No curb-feelers here.

Ear & nose hairs are also on the plucking hit list.

I had a random ear hair on my right ear that had to be 1.5 inches long. Just sticking straight out from the cartilage. I yanked it out with my fingers.

My beard is almost 100%. The mustache is holding on.

I get these too.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't there yesterday. How in the hell did I get a 2" hair growing off the side of my ear overnight?

my hair started turning grey when I was 24. I'm still not 100% grey 18 years later.

At 37yr old I grew a beard that was a glorious red/brown. The year of 38 I never grew a beard and just stayed clean shaving. In November (39 yrs old) I grew a beard and it was 85% white. I have no idea what happened but it was the first time I realized I was getting old old.

FYI, I've been told Just For Men Control GX Grey Reducing Shampoo works wonders and doesn't look like dye at all

24 is young. A friend of mine in HS had a younger brother that had a full head of grey hair in like the 10th grade. It was strange. His 2 older brothers weren't grey at all.

My beard went pretty quickly. I didn't start getting grey hair on my head until about age 44.

I think once you are around 40+ most men don't care. My wife dyes her hair or she'd be grey, but I just let mine be whatever color it's going to be.

It is genetic. My mom turned early. I started turning when I was 15.

Salt and pepper when I graduated from LSU.

Totally grey by 32.

Totally white by 45.

I'm 58. Chicks still dig it.

Do NOT color your hair. People can spot it a mile away and will think you're an insecure loser. Which you probably are, based on your post.

Fast, but I've found that hair recession and color change can come and go fast.

In law school my hairline started dramatically receding and then stopped after a while before it got too bad. Now it just looks normal for my age. Same with graying. Started and progressed fairly quickly and now it's nothing out of the ordinary, seems to have stalled out

From 38 - 41 it's gotten pretty light on the sides. My beard is almost all grey. Just rock it.

If you are going to dye your hair, get one shade lighter than your natural shade to color your hair.
