I'm in my 30s and have lost a lot of hair already. I'll take full head of hair until 50. By then I'll look like complete shit anyway. I'm white.

I did both early.
Started going grey around 15 or 16, started going bald around 21.

Lol grey all the way. There can be digniti in grey hair. Balding just looks withered and weak. Fully shaven is a different story of course.

I just turned 37 and I am going grey.

Just my temples and some splotches here and there but if the males in my family are anything to go by I should be well on my way there by 40.

I would rather take that though than go bald.
 
Grey early of course.

Don't plan to ever dye my hair and my hair is insanely thick.

Gonna match my grandfather who I look just like. Want that snow white hair.

I entered this thread with a convincing "lol of course grey, that's not even a question", but reading the rules you're making it somewhat hard on me. I mean, being "completely bald" on 60 isn't too bad. I don't think I'd care about it too much by then. And while grey hair can look awesome as fuck, I prefer my current black hair. Being completely grey at 30 would be kinda jarring.

So yeah, keep a head full of hair and go bald at 60. I'd sign for that shit right now. I'm 25 now and it's starting to thin terrifyingly fast.

these rules suck. i guess i would go with bald since i would lose my hair when i wouldn't care anymore.

Don't really care. I could work with either option, because at the end of the day, my hair is not that important to me. So I guess I'll take grey hair early. I can rock that look.

Grey is better than bald I guess. I'm already getting on the older side to go grey early, so I guess this decision would be to go grey immediately. I would still pick that.

There is no baldness on either side of my family. My dad is 60 with a full head of hair. My "maternal" grandfather is 82 with a full head of hair.

My dad started going grey in his late 40s I guess. He's salt and pepper now. My mom is 59 and still has natural dark brown hair with next to no grey. I think that I will likely take after my dad though.

Grey early. No question. I can work with grey hair easily, baldness completely fucks me.

Unfortunately given my family history, there's at least a 50% chance of me going bald : /

Grey. I already have a little streak in the front which started in my late 20s when I was getting a divorce and then stopped. Everybody in my family goes grey eventually and then turns in a white.

Same here. I got a little skunk patch. Starting ti get called rogue. Lol

Gray is the way and I know because I started going gray at 22. I know based on my dad and granddad that I'll never lose any hair but I'll also be completely silver by 40. I'm currently 28 and single so I dye my hair it's natural color because I'm a little too young to want to rock the salt and pepper look but maybe in a few years I'll let it do its natural thing.

I'd rather go grey.

My hair started thinning at 15 and I had a bald spot by 18. I'd happily sport grey hair over that.

Thread is full of people who think they'd look like Anderson Cooper but would really look like Mike Pence.

Bald is so much less maintenance.

I hate having to worry about a sunburn on my chrome dome and I hate feeling sweat up there. I'd take a head of grey hair.
 
Grey 100%.

I'm starting to salt and pepper up. My hair is so dark naturally, it would probably look really rad... if I hadn't thinned out a bunch.
 
Go grey early.

Have had grey white hairs since I was 8 years old and now in my 30s, the white hairs have blended in with my naturally dark hair. I used to worry about it in my teens but stopped caring about it once out of high school.
 
I started going grey in my mid 20s. I get my hair coloured and have done since around 27 years old. You can always fix grey so grey. I'll likely have hair forever.

I started losing my hair around 19, so both of these options sound pretty ace to me. I'd probably pick the gray hair option, I got a funny looking head.

I started going grey early and I've never worried about it. I don't feel like it's a negative at all, it looks good. Bald on me wouldn't be a good look though. At all.

This is too easy.

I had my first grey hairs at like 15 or something. Now at 40 I'm all salt and peppery, beard included (when I grow it)

Still have a full head of hair though!

Don't understand why people are choosing grey hair.
If you choose going bald you have a full head of hair until you are 50. Sounds like a way better choice to me.
