Going grey...

[Odbarc]

I'm 28, no grey yet.

My brother has had the same grey spot for about 10 years, he just turned 30.

I started noticing grey hair when I was 21. On the plus side, I've been shaving my head or buzzing it down since I was 15, so it doesn't really show up unless I get lazy and don't shave it for a while. I haven't noticed any in my facial hair yet, just along the sides of my head.

 

[Akimoto]

Since 16 I have had a few strands of white hair.

 

[dagens24]

24 here (almost 25), no grey hairs yet but I'm getting pretty thin up top. I'm going to have quite the crown soon, with a nice little island tuff of hair. When it gets too horrendous I'll just go ahead and shave it all off.

 

[Soluncreed]

My head is going to go bald far before I ever get grey hairs. Be thankful that you still actually have hair. Based on family history, I'll have a bald spot by 30. I think it already may be starting now, which sucks because I look pretty attractive with hair.

Not many women can rock the grey look sadly. Only person I've seen that can is Jamie Lee Curtis. Thankfully I have good genes. Also B-12 vitamins are good for your hair or so I'm told.

I had some grey hairs at 15, I guess it was stress related, since it disappeared again.

Due to genes im likely to loose my glorious, Aryan master race blond hair before I hit 35 though.

Spoiler: Joking about the Aryan thing, by the way. I know these forums are full of obnoxious people who wouldnt catch that.

That spoiler failed, only saw the link when I quoted. lol

It's not that people are inherently obnoxious, it's that Nazi jokes are generally considered in bad taste at the best of times to downright illegal in some instances. It's unlikely anyone in the camps would be around on Escapist, but to someone like them joking about mass murder isn't really.. Well, they wouldn't take it very well. It's like a dead baby joke around someone who just miscarried, or a car into a tree joke around someone who's just lost someone close in a car crash.

If you're super cool and all lulz'd up then it's funny, if you're trying to be a comedian I'd suggest looking at other careers.

I am not going grey, but like many people in the UK military I am balding... I am 23... it sucks!

Welcome to the club. Invest in a beanie and a leather jacket. Or a tank top, a bald head goes quite well with one of those.

On topic, around 16 I had a few whites with a grey going white. Had my hopes up for a full head of pure white hair but alas it was not meant to be and I "recovered" by molting.

 

[Torrasque]

I have a random cluster of white hairs on the back of my head. I like to think that it is because my little brother tests my sanity on a daily basis, but I have no idea why they are there /shrug

My dad started going gray about... 7 years ago? And he is in his mid-50s. He hasn't started going bald either, his side of the family doesn't have that problem till the 80s or so.

If you're concerned, don't be. It is about 89% genetic and 10% how much stress you have in your life. Add ~1% for diet and random environmental effects.

 

[Marik2]

I think I got them when I was 15 and its not too noticeable until Im under a bright light.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

Why on earth is everyone going grey so early? I find it downright bizarre, especially since when I'm out and about I don't see anyone going grey unless they're in their 30s.

 

[Guffe]

21, hasn't noticed anything yet.
Don't know if I'll care, my dad's over 45 and he doesn't yet have any.

 

[AMMO Kid]

I'm 19 and I have no problems.

Cool Story: A friend of mine started going bald at 19 and was completely bald by 21...

 

[Death Carr]

I have 1 grey hair front and center on my fringe ><
I'm 17 BTW

 

[The Pinray]

I found my first grey hair around age fifteen, I think. I spot another one every so often, but nothing too major.

 

[infohippie]

I started going grey at the age of fifteen. :-/ It's more noticeable now, at thirty six, but I've had grey hairs for a very long time now.

 

[uzo]

Started greying on chin first (28). Temples started greying too (30), and chest crop has a few silvers turning up now too (32).

Exactly the same as my father. Although he looks like Sean Connery ... I look like a slightly rough/grizzled Orlando Bloom / Jude Law.

 

[WolfThomas]

I'm only 22, no grey hairs, but I can't wait to get some, I think I'd look mature.

 

[Goro]

I'm 34, and have found quite a few around the temples, but I still have hair, so I'm happy enough with that.

 

[beniki]

unfortunatly for women when you age its not really a good thing (thanks too socety grrr) so you really cant make the "grey" work...

Margaret Houlahan from MASH had grey hair, and was, well, she was Hot Lips Houlahan.

I'm getting some badger locks in my side burns, but they're taking their sweet time over it. They've turned into a more golden colour than my usual light brown, and have been getting paler yeah month for the past year now.

I'm 25. Not concerned so much about the colour as keeping it on top of my head though. Getting a but thin up there

 

[Crazy]

I do not know what you mean by having my mane turn grey, that can't happen. For the older ones, yes I'm sure they do at around the age of 56, on average.

Or do you mean like this:
