Why the fuck would you dye your hair? It must be awful having no confidence to pull off grey hair.

Because I get to choose my color when I dye. Sometimes I'll rock the salt and pepper look for a while. Sometimes I'll turn them into slight brown highlights that go really well with my black hair.

 

[pwack]

I'm bald, but my beard has started to go grey. Almost everything directly under my chin is grey.

Pretty stoked for how it looks.

 

[twobear]

I'm blond, so, even if I have grey hairs I don't know it. I wish I had grey hairs, I think young and greying is crazy hot

 

[Nitemare1]

I got wicked lucky in the hair category. At 39 its still very thick and full and maybe once a month I'll spot a rogue grey hair and that's it.

 

[raindoc]

OP is lucky. i'm loosing white hair.

 

[dbztrk]

Add copper to your diet. It will definitely reverse it or at least minimize it.

Oh and OP, i'm balding so get over it.

 

[Hypereides]

I'm jelly OP. Is this a stealth braggin' thread?

You're on the initiation stage of awesome.

Given that you'll eventually attain a silver mane.

 

[smr00]

I noticed 2 white hairs in my beard last week and just shaved it all off.

Turning 29 in 5 days so i guess i shouldn't be that surprised?

 

[Jburton]

Why don't you guys dye it.

You can see dyed hair on a man a mile away, looks fucking awful.

Embrace it, could be worse .... you could be bald (I am not but I sympathise with the follically challenged)

 

[Currygan]

I have some white hair as well, but honestly I don't give a damn

 

[diaspora]

I've got a few at 22.

 

[whatsinaname]

Surprisingly, I started seeing a noticeable amount at 16. Now, 10+ years later, they are barely visible.

 

[Zoe]

I'm about half grey at 31. Take solace in the fact that you're a guy. It doesn't look nearly as good on women.

 

[Satch]

i had my first gray hair at 17

its really not that big of a deal OP

 

[ThisWreckage]

I started getting white hair before I could drive. But it's no big deal. Most of my white hair is around my temples, but I keep my hair short cropped.

 

[ATF487]

I'm 23, with a decent amount of grey coming in now. Barbers usually make a comment and friends/family/coworkers notice when they get close. I'll need to start dying it in the next year or two I think

It's kind of weird but I'd rather have this than hair loss. And it's not as bad for dudes

 

[Like the hat?]

None here (29) but I wouldn't really care if I had some grey hairs. My wife would be happy though, because then she wouldn't be the only one with them.

 

[Bucket Mouse]

I found a ginger hair once. I'm Asian.

How.

 

[kingocfs]

Same, they shine like a diamond if I grow it out enough. I dye every now and then, but I've started to cut it more frequently instead. I'm 25. Thanks Dad.

 

[Chance Hale]

By the time I turned 18 I already had around 20-30 white hairs. You're lucky if anything, it's not as easy to tell with me though because I have super thick curly hair so they've often hidden. In any case there's nothing really wrong with white hair, can look nice or if you don't like it get your hair dyed. In any case don't worry so much about white hair marking you as old

 

[cheststrongwell]

The only place I have grey hair is my beard. Was kind of a shock when I first grew it out.

 

[Joeki11a]

[Currygan]

How.

you're turning into Hanamichi Sakuragi

 

[BHZ Mayor]

I have a very long single grey hair on my right arm. I've had it since I was 19. (I'll be 28 in a few weeks.)

 

[Delicious Waffles]

I have a handful of gray hairs on my head and I'm 27.

 

[AppleSmack]

I had a massive clump of white hairs on my pubes since I was 15. Not sure if I should be worried.

 

[Zoe]

^ patches tend to be vitiligo.

 

[IceCold]

smoking gives you grey hairs?

Nah it gives you cancer.

 

[Ushojax]

I've got a few gray hairs spread across my luscious head of hair. I'm 24 and I don't give a shit, as long as my hair is thick I don't care what colour it is. I think gray hair looks pretty good anyway.

 

[PaleFolklore]

I'm 24 with some gray hairs. I don't think it's that big of a deal personally.

 

[AppleSmack]

^ patches tend to be vitiligo.

I looked it up. Looks quite plausible. So does that mean I have defects in my genes like the article says? Note it isn't all over my body. Just in that area.

 

[csquared587]

I would get sad over my grey hair if I wasnt too busy being said over my growing baldspot.

Im 25 btw.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

I'm 32 and have a lot of white hairs. I don't care cuz they look good on me.

 

[spiderman123]

I am getting white hairs and I am 25 years old. I love the salt and pepper look.

 

[t0rment]

i've had them since i was 12. i think it's cool, depending on the hair style.

 

[Cromat]

1) Much better than getting bald
2) Grey hair can look good
3) You can dye it

 

[Fireblend]

I've had TONS of grey hair since I was 14 or so. There's nothing I can think of that could have provoked it. It doesn't particularly bother me, but I've gotten lots of "WOW, dude, you've got lots of grey hairs" ever since from friends/people I meet/etc. It's not like my hair is completely white or anything, more like a 5:1 ratio, nor do I think it makes me look bad, but I do find it curious.

 

[Red Liquorice]

I'm fine with going grey, or salt n pepper. Will probably be bald before I go completely grey any way, lol.

Don't dye it. Men with dyed hair - No, just no. It's one step away from a toupée.

 

[Funky Papa]

I have a very long single grey hair on my right arm. I've had it since I was 19. (I'll be 28 in a few weeks.)

I have a couple of those, but they aren't real "grey hairs", more like mutant ones so to speak. They are long, brittle and thin, as if they were poorly developed for some reason.

 

[Aeris130]

As long as your hairline stays put, who cares? I'd kill for a forehead of grey hair. Grow that shit out and sport the Sephiroth look.

 

[kswiston]

Pretty sure most men start getting their first grey hairs in their 20s or 30s. If you are 35, I'm not sure what the big deal is. Look at all the people here who were in your shoes when they were still in high school.

I have had 3 grey hairs. One at like 19, and two last year. None of them ever grew back though. My dad started getting some noticeable salt and peppering in his late 30s, so that is probably my fate. As others have said, it's better than going bald.

 

[paparazzo]

Eh, try losing your hair in your early 20s. Be glad you get to keep your hair at all.

 

[jaxword]

As long as your hairline stays put, who cares? I'd kill for a forehead of grey hair. Grow that shit out and sport the Sephiroth look.

This only works if you have a naturally lean and handsome face.

Looking stubbly and scruffy and old with hair like that doesn't work.

 

[H.Protagonist]

I'm not a sliver fox by any means and they are few and far between but i see them. I see them.
They are there and they are fucking white. I'm not even 35 yet, but I might as well schedule an appointment with the grim reaper. I'm pretty sure in every zombie movie you kill the dude with the white hairs. I was carded recently, but I can't even get a haircut now without realizing that I'm the dude with the white hairs. Pretty soon I won't even be able to pass myself off as a guy in his 30s. I might as well apply for a scooter and medicare. I used to be 18. It wasn't that long ago, oh god, it was really that long ago? Okay, okay, at least I'm not balding.

Should I just shave my head and or just try to play it off? I'm really freaking out. I'm not old I swear.

Don't worry about it. I'm only 31 and I'm going Rogue in the front. Work stress, shitty sleep, whatever. It happens. Dye it if you feel self-concious, but you can always just take solace in the fact that many of us who are younger are getting silver too. No big deal. At least you're a guy. Seems to look better on gents (IMO) or is more accepted at any rate.

 

[Count Dookkake]

On head? No prob.

Chest? Same.

Pube? Same.

Nose? Fuck that.

 

[Ovid]

I'm 33 and have about 4-5 that I can see on the back of my head, and a couple in my beard. Receding hairline sucks though. I need a headband like LeBron.

 

[Einchy]

^ patches tend to be vitiligo.

This is what I'm going through right now. Fun times.

 

[scamartilhon]

I'm 23 and I have one in my moustache. I wear it proudly.

 

[Big Chungus]

i have quite a few grey facial hairs and im 28.

 

[Frost_Ace]

grey hair is hot man, *UNF*
