It comes in waves. 20% then it stops. Then a while later another 30%.


I’m in the third wave now. So about 70% gray. I figure I have three years before it finishes me off

The later phases you see em pop up in your pubes. That is really depressing

I'm 46 and my facial hair has been grey for years at this point. It probably took 2 years to go from all brown to almost all grey/white. The sides are my head are going now. It doesn't bother me. It's not like I'm 30 or anything.

Had a cousins start going gray at 19. Was almost 100% gray by his late 20s.

Luckily I missed that gene. My sideburns and temples started graying around 45. Hasn't spread too much since.

I can't grow a beard anymore because it makes me look like Kris Kristofferson.

I'm fortunate to have light colored hair on top. It hides the gray.

I saw a ghost and my hair turned gray overnight.

I started getting greys in my late 20s. Still hasn't progressed much in 15Y. Your mileage may vary.

It takes 13 years for your daughter to become a teenager. So, the correct answer is 13 years.

The twins we birthed are making me go gray pretty quickly. So about a year at this rate.

Will no one rid me of this meddlesome grey hair?

It's strange to me people going gray so young. I'm almost 54 and only have a few in the beard. I can cut them out and have none on my head but eventually this will have to stop unless I color it because I'm not shaving it. I can't see coloring it unless I plan to stay on top of it and even then it may look stupid.

I don't have kids or a stressful job which I think are the biggest contributors to fast graying unless genetics say f you.

Or replace it.

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

39? You had a good run. I started going grey at 23. Met my wife and deployed to Iraq that year. Either one could have caused it.
