We've had bald now lets go grey

[badwolf]

Well, there's me hoping for Midichlorians but looks like I got Melanocytes

[Grant Lamontagne]

I found my first grey hair at 16.  Luckily in the ensuing 20+ years it hasn't invited too many friends along.

I started to grey significantly not long after turning thirty but having a light coloured hair in the first place the gradual change hasn't been too shocking. 

I did feel sorry for one of my mates who had very dark hair, it doesn't look too bad now but when it first started to change, in clumps, it wasn't the best look

[Grant Lamontagne]

When I was younger my brother always used to make fun of me as his hair was thicker than mine and it looked like I was going to be bald like my father when I grew up.  Then as my brother and I got older his hair thinned out and mine stayed the same, so I always thought that was just karma kicking him in the arse, and accepted that I was taking after my mother's side.  My grandfather had a full head of hair well into his 90's, and probably still would except that he passed away.  The down side of that part of the family is that they go grey very early- my mother started getting senior's discount everywhere when she was barely into her 40's because of her grey hair, although being Scottish she appreciated saving money more than people thinking she was old! 

When I found my first grey hair at 16 I figured that was it, and it wouldn't be long before I went that way too, but apparently the guy who runs Karma is a bald guy and decided to take a double whack at my brother by making him bald and grey!  My father's hair was dark well into his 60's, with only a few greys showing through, so it looks like I managed to get the best hair genes all around.

It seems you get to do one thing absolutely perfectly in life, and I wasted it on hair.

Me too
Started in my teens and have been going steadily grey. It's speeding up now I think too, but after 40 it doesn't seem to unfair!

I'm fine...

Ive had grey hairs since i was 24 same time as starting to go bald  now in very bald and just grey hair  oh well im growing old discracefully 

[Top-Gear-24]

I've noticed that there's been an invasion of grey hair on my head since the birth of my sons ... I fear that once they are 15-16 years old my hair will switch into "Richard Gere mode" quite fast ... 

On the other hand, as long as they stay on my head, I don't care which colour they have  .

[Neil]

I'm fine... 

What's with the streak down the middle then?

Ah yes, the classic Dickie Davies look, turns out his was a condition rather than going grey. The grey in my hair is mainly around my ears with some on top. Looks like were all doomed to (Visage) Fade to Grey

I was just going through a Punk phase.... 

Your avatar picture has ginger hair... do you still have ginger hair, or was that just a strange phase too??

Too many carrots one week

I've just got a little bit of gray, right in front.  It's noticeable because my hair is jet black, even that tiny bit sticks out like a sore thumb.    I'll take that little bit of gray though compared to what my younger brother has on his head, which is the same amount of hair as this little guy has-  .

 The most grey I can expect to get is a salt& pepper. But I’m balding on top.

Balding is no big deal, as long as you’re not in denial about it.  Golden rule: As you hair gets thinner, cut it SHORTER. To do anything else makes you look sad and pathetic.

Last year, I started cutting my own hair. I  buzz-cut my own head about once a week with a  #1 guide on the clippers (1/8" inch short, or 3.175mm). No more worries about balding, and I save money on haircuts. It’s really liberating.

ive been doing this for the last 17 years, plus you can do it yourself

A buzz-cut isn't liberating, it is the beginning of years of service...

Wearing boxers instead of briefs is liberating. Or for the ladies, going bra-less. (I guess)

Manziere, moobs and anti gravity devices

Trust me, most women who go without bras, start a battle with gravity that they have no chance of winning

I agree with the buzz cut for balding though - men do look incredibly silly when they try and hide it. Bald is cool, come overs are really not!

Just look at some tv documentaries showing topless women from African or Amazonian tribes, that never wore a bra...  They start out perky, but by the time they are 30....

Grey doesn't really run in my family until the age of 60 or so.  Of course, I'm literally the only bald man in my entire family as far back as anyone can remember.  Dammit.   

[Gareth]

Well I've still got a good head of hair and, being blond, I've not yet noticed any grey in there.  Sadly I have started noticing some grey in my beard.
