Sure. But I figure starting to lose your hair when 50 would be far more popular than greying at 20.

But again, I'd rather go grey early and keep my hair entirely over knowing that I only have 50 years worth of hair.
So for me, grey forever sounds even better.

I got my first grey hair when I was 17, now mid 30s I'm very grey and my hair has been slowly thinning for the past 10 years or so. By the time I'm 50 I'm gonna look like Larry David.

The answer remains the same. Grey.

Grey hair looks great on guys with thick hair.

You can still shave grey hair.

Grey, for sure. I'll look like a less punchable George Lucas.

But gray hair looks good, especially if you have a full head of it. Even at 50+ if you're a good looking man with gray hair, you still can pull women in there late 20's on.

who gives a shit its just hair. I've had a shaved head and I'm now greying both are whatever. I'm planning on rocking a shaved head in a few years again anyways.
Plenty of people give a shit about their hair. So, many people?

Ive had grey hair all my life, so thats fine. But theres no quick fix for balding. As someone going through that right now, I'd kill to have my afro back. Even with grey hair.

Grey, since I love long hair and want to grow it out as much as I can.

Eh, the choice is look good in your prime or look like a young silver fox. Either choice fine not much of a would you rather question when either outcome is acceptable.

Not sure if you can tell from my profile pic, but I've already got a natural skunk stripe expanding. Got my first gray at 13. And no, it doesn't dye well at all.
I obviously would rather take the sexy silver fox look in my 30s, since I've already embraced it. But tbh bald isn't really a bad look either, I've been bald before (by choice) and it was kind of different but fun.
I feel like the important thing is just to embrace whatever you have going on. If you're thinning real bad or balding on top, fuck it, just buzz it off, rock the chrome dome.

Bald is not getting enough love. It's ironic too because most men go bald before or rather than going grey. The majority of men in general go bald. I guess people want what they don't have. I say you be who are and make it work. Confidence trumps hair color and volume. I've been going bald since I was a teenager. Not ideal at the time but it happens. I know can't even imagine having hair. I've built such a good reputation with my look than I'm far too attached. Bald dudes are superior anyways. They can't be bothers by trivial things such as hair brushes.

I've had grey hair since I was a teenager (weirdly in one area) and it's fine. I'd look terrible bald though.

At 40, my beard is 60% grey. I also have a full head of thick, luxurious hair... that I have to shave every week. Hair is so god-damned annoying. I get hot here in Atlanta. I originally shaved my head to show solidarity with my mother who had leukemia. I never grew it back. The minute you feel the wind on your scalp, it's over.
No brainer... I don't mind the grey, but if I didn't have to shave my head, I'd take the perma-color. I assume my beard wouldn't go bald, right? I require the beard to give the illusion that I have a chin.

I've already got an incredible amount of greys. They sort of came all of a sudden in my mid 20s. I was dyeing it 5 years back, but it really felt wrong and stupid to hide it. It was a pointless fight anyway, and I hated feeling so vain.
Now I don't give a fuck, and oh well. Although this gets easier too, because that's the natural feeling of getting older anyway.

I'm female, so grey. Silver hair is cool. I'd prefer fully white tbh
Besides, I need that hair to headbang!
