Shit, I'm starting to get gray hair.

I started going gray in my mid 20's as well and I was fucking stoked about it. Being young with gray hair is awesome and I was disappointed when it stopped at just a big patch. Now I'm going gray more in my mid 30's and I'm still cool with it.
 
Im 39 and im rocking the grey doc strange/ mr fantastic look. There no way to fight whats inevitable. My wife asked me if i wanted to dye it but i declined and just went with it.
 
Literally just Wednesday my friend was playing Oh my hair and she found a gray strand. I just turned 25 this past December. smh.
 
I'm 37 and have a lot more gray hair than my dad. I also have a bit of a baby face so it's a kind of odd combination, but whatever.
 
I'm only in my mid 20's and I can see atleast 5 random gray hairs coming out. And they're really noticeable too. This sucks, I really need to take less stress at work. Do they ever heal and go away and then grow back as their normal color?

Stressing about gray hair is only gonna cause more gray hair too, it's an endless loop. Shit.
I got my first grey hairs in my mid 20s also. I'm now in my early 30s and I still have just a smattering of grey hairs, so you're probably not immediately going to go grey overall or whatever.
 
You can't see any on me at first glance, but one random day a friend started searching and she found about 10 of those suckers, if not a little more than that. That's probably average, I mean, who would notice 10 gray hairs when I got hundreds of darker ones.
 
i had my first white hair at 18. 32 now and they're all over the place! At least I still have hair compared to some other guys.
 
I started when I was 17. Now I'm 32 and could say that 30% of my hair is white/gray.

Never dyed.

My suggestion is just roll with it. It wont define who you are.
 
I started getting grays at the beginning of my 20s. Now that I'm in the latter half of those 20s, I've got a shitload. It has never bothered me.

Instead of them all concentrating by my temples they're sort of all over, so I'm hoping for that Clooney salt and pepper.
My lady's family all goes gray really early. She's the same age as me and half of the hairs on her head are already gray, with a couple big streaks like Rogue from Xmen. She dyes it most of the time but sometimes she just rocks it no regrets. She's hoping to graduate from Rogue to Storm when she's older.

It's not stress. It's genetic.

You can either spend the next 10 years of your life in vain desperation to hide and cover them,(not cool, trust me) or you can get on the fast track to accepting it.

Soon they will come upon you like a tidal wave.
 
Got a salt line in my beard for the first time when I was 25 and never looked back, my wife loves it and I can rock it well enough to get compliments for it, now 27, never got anymore gray just still the one streak.
 
38, full head of non gray hair.

Interesting though that after shaving clean every day for literally 20 years I decided to see what a few days of stubble looked like and it appears I'd have a gray beard.
 
27, I've got like 5-6 grey eyebrow hairs on each eyebrow that are quite noticeable close up.
Otherwise all good. feelsweirdman
 
Own it. I'm 31 and have it as well. Chicks dig a little salt and pepper, especially if it's on the temples and chin of your facial hair.

If you're really concerned about it, keep your hair super short. My barber uses a #1 guard while cleaning up the sides and back of my head - erases all evidence of grey hairs for a few weeks. I'd maintain it myself, but I don't want to give myself a fam haircut...Lol.
 
grey hair is fine. i started getting them in my mid-20s too. dont think there is much hope in grey hairs changing back to normal color.

anyways its commonly accepted that men only look better as they get older and i imagine this is part of it. you might be looking at great news.

so make that, "Shit, I'm starting to get gray hair!"
 
Be happy you have hair...

I know people bald by their 20s.

I'm 34, have a full head of hair (thinning in the front unfortunately) with the occasional gray sprouting... I'd take a head of gray hair over the thinning any fucking day of the week. I'm going to have a comb over in a few years... it's horrible.
 
When I was younger I thought when people said "you're making my hair turn white", it was just a silly expression...

Last month I had one of the most stressful periods in my life at at work for about 3 weeks, this was nonstop. I noticed a few greys in the front afterwards, I'm totally convinced that work stress caused this.

31 years old by the way, and I really couldn't give two shits about greys

Wait til you get your first bald spot, OP.
 
I started going grey around the same time my hair started getting thinner in my mid-20's. I've never really thought much about it. I've always worn my hair short, and I actually like the variety that having a little grey adds to my look. My wife seems to have no complaints and if she is happy, I'm happy.
 
Just wait until it becomes white.

From what I understand, grey haired men are fine. It's sophisticated!
