I have a few greys in my head, but my beard is where it shows up more. I'm 29. I like it, so does my fiancé.

I have had some amount of gray since my 20's...my wife says it makes me look distinguish - my reply: "yeah, it distinguishes me from the young..."

Seriously though, gray hair is better than no hair...

Almost everyone goes at least a little gray in their late teens or 20s. You notice it a lot more with folks with black or dark hair, and not at all in folks with blonde or light colored hair.

It is what it is.

It's the oddest thing.


My husband didn't start showing a couple specks of the salt/pepper gray in his dark hair until shortly AFTER we started dating(he was 27 when we met).

ETA: Still has a full head of hair though at 36. Thankfully he has some good genetics on that front.

I'd rather be grey than be balding.

My dad finally started greying at 60, but has a full head of hair. I prob won't ever get to see if my hair turns grey because it's all falling out.

I was just able to grow a mustache at 30, you guys are aging really fast!

I am a slow grower.

I'm 33 and my beard is a patchy gray, mainly along the sideburns down to the angle of my jaw. A few stray grays in the rest. I dye it once every two weeks or so. I wouldn't if it was a uniform salt and pepper but it looks like a reverse Jay Leno.

At 31 I had a few greys, hardly noticeable. Then we had twins... My beard is pretty peppery now, and a lot more up top. I like it.

At 29 I have the occasional wild gray hair on my head, but on my beard... I look like an elderly chocolate lab with all the gray around my chin. My beard turned red before gray. A lot of red coming in now in the other areas of beard.

I got grey in my beard this year. I'm 30. Been shaving my head without a gaurd for about 5 years, so maybe I'm getting grey in what's left up there to, but who knows.

Grey doesn't bother me at all. Thinning hair doesn't bother me a ton since I don't look awful shaved, but it's certainly much worse than the grey I'm getting.

This is the OT. Everyone here still has a full head of hair and has never had a gray one.
