Hair turning gray!

Sign in to disble this ad
Last year or so I've noticed my first gray hair/s.

At age of 25 I was like Now, year after I have them 15+
(yes they're counted haha)
But that's the way it is, my dad has also black hair and was before his fifties, when he was completely gray.

What about you fella TB'ers :P Do they bother you? If do, do you dye (colour) them? Is it true that ladies found gray hair attractive!!? etc.

Gray hair is better than invisible hair.

Not to start anything, but I'm already going bald at 20 and first noticed it when I was 18. Just be happy you have hair.

Doesn't bother me one bit. My hair is grey, and my beard is grey. Then again, I am 56!

Dye? Heck no, I like my silver hair. Most dyes look bad at least sometimes, either flashing red or purple in the sun or just looking flat and fake. If you want to work that "Tom Jones before he became sensible and just let it go gray" look, then more power to you.



Note that he's gone to the trouble of dying his eyebrows and chest hair too. If you don't you'll look worse that this.

In my 20's my hair started thinning.

Better gray than gone.

Starting going gray in my early 20's. Been coloring ever since. I've let it go gray on occasion but everyone tells me I look younger with brown hair.
If you do color your hair don't buy the men's hair color. It's crap. I use Loreal Excellence.

I started going gray probably 15 years ago, in my early 30s. I've grayed at a remarkably slow pace, though. Don't sweat it, I say. The ladies seem to dig it.

This could be a man card violation. I'll have to bring it before the commitee.

Who cares if your hair is going grey? Embrace it, or shave your head. Your not officially an adult until 50% of your chest hair is grey!

My hair was turning gray in my twenties, too.

I never colored it. It was totally white by the time I was forty.

I'm ~3 weeks from being 24, and my hair is about %25 white. NOT gray, WHITE. My only saving grace is that the rest of my hair is red, so it's hard to see. Man up and leave it alone.

This is the basic history of my family's hair color.

Wait until you strap on an extra hundred pounds in about 15 years.

If my hair were to go grey, id start dying it.

Of course, I wouldn't use the dye to disguise the fact that its going grey, id use the opportunity to dye it purple/green/blue/etc on a bi-weekly basis.

At least you aren't my grandma, who was completely gray by the time she was 18 and white by the time she was 25.
