Shocked I am only 23!

You're now probably thinking "somebody move this to the Dear Auntie BCF section" but you'd be wrong, I think it's a good thing!

I've always quite fancied a salt and pepper head, but am worried it'll all go Philip Scofield before you can say "My Muzza, you look refined and gentlemanly."

Anywhat, to those already blessed with a fine head of two-tone or grey; how long did it take from finding your first to becoming the fine looking squire you are today? (And if it's a vitamin imbalance I'm going to be well disappoint).

I had to laugh the first time I saw the "Touch of gray" just for men adverts....... You've been telling us for 10 fucking years to get rid of the gray........now we're supposed to dye it fucking gray?!?!?!

I'm just waiting for Max Factors "Hint of ugly" to come out.

I'm going grey too, have been for a while. I'm 24.

It doesn't bother me to be honest. As a hairdresser once told me, it's better to be going grey than going bald. Thumbs Up Wink

I didn't mind the grey. It was when the gingers appeared, especially in my stubble, that i started to worry. Laughing

I started at 17 (always fun being told you've grey hair coming through when you're still at school).

I'm 35 now and still not completely gone though, mostly just round the sides... however, it's hard to tell because it's completely shaved as I started developing a bad patch at about 20! Laughing

If it makes you feel any better, I'm ginger, balding, and have white hairs in both my beard and the remnants of my hairline.

I'm 24 and have been spotting grey hairs here and there for the last two/three years (only on my head).

My Dad apparently went grey in his 30's. It's a bit shit, but not as bad as going bald! And there's none of that in my family!

Aren't you about 27 years old? Laughing

Luckily neither side of my family has any baldies in it. Couple of my friends (they are brothers separated by approx. 1 year) are going bald. The older one is extremely noticable, whereas the younger one (who thinks he's a ladies man) is just starting to thin out.

I can understand why some men don't want to go grey, but I honestly don't see the problem. You can either sport the refined look or start to dye it when you first notice them.

Hi

Had the odd grey hair for years, at least since my mid 20s. Early 40s and there are more, but probably still 99% non grey.

Trouble is the grey ones are all concentrated in one spot. Going to look like a skunk soon.

All the best

Keith

I'm 18. Not yet spotted a gray hair on my head and hope not to for a long time to come!

However, I've had the odd gray hair on both my legs since I was about 14. I now have (counts) roughly fifty gray hairs in total, on my lower legs. Stress related or? Or am I just weird?

Oh and I can't grow facial hair to save my life so can't comment on that.

Cheers,
Steve.

MY dad started getting flecks when I was about 8.

Ten years later, he has black hair with slightly bigger flecks.

Agreed ... thats when you need to really worry.
The ladies love the grey hair .... it gives an air of authority, wisdom, and maturity ..... Just ask anyone on here thats met me and they will verify the above Thumbs Up

But the ladies do not like your bush looking like a long nosed silver back gorilla.

Had grey hairs since childhood, they're becoming all too common now and have started to migrate to my face.

I'm 22, my dad was majority grey by 30, his dad was turning mostly grey at 15 Shocked

Still, dads 50 this year and has a thicker head of (grey) hair than most.

Had a few grey strands when I was about 18-19. I guess I follow my snowy haired mum in that respect.

Although I suppose I should think myself lucky I didn't follow my dad and end up with the monks stripe around the back

Its like some sort of parallel, yet opposite, universe type time continuum thing ... I am going for the opposite look.

My mountain bike rides have meant that the old Silky spuds are getting a right hammering.
An experienced biker has told me the best thing is to go for a waxing.
So I have bought a home waxing kit ... and of course I will share my pre and post op pics with you all Thumbs Up
