At least you have hair. Bloke I knew in college went bald at the age of 18.

TBH men can pull off grey pretty easily.

This is a question to any Escapists old enough to have this happen. What age roughly did you start to get grey hair? I've just recently started going grey, and I was curious. (FYI I'm 27)

Also, what are you thoughts on going grey? I know people who started to really stress out when the first grey hairs appeared, started dyeing their hair, and generally made like it wasn't happening. Me, I don't care...in fact I kinda like the way it makes me look.
Well, I can't see them myself as I have very light hair, but my mother has claimed that I have a few (since I was like 17). Not that surprising, really. It's only if I had a ton of them I'd be worried. My family seems to have this genetic thing going on that when they get older their hair becomes much darker or black (my father was blonde growing up). My hair is still very light, though.

At 17, I have the odd grey hair here and there. Had a single grey brow hair once, but it got long and annoying so I cut it off.

Surprised I don't have any tbh. I'm always dying my hair so will probably still dye when I turn Grey.

I like Grey hair on Men, it's amazing.

14 when I started noticing grey hairs (had Mum pluck them out), just kept on going.
Now I'm 23, and I've definitely more grey than brown.

I don't really care, one way or the other - but it does annoy me whenever someone points out I've got grey hair. Like I wouldn't have noticed a change in something attached to my head.

I started going gray in my late thirties, first in my facial and chest hair. Now I'm going gray at the temples. (Good thing my wife likes it.) I started balding when I was in my mid-twenties, but fortunately it's a relatively slow process. I keep my hair buzzed pretty short, and I may some day work up the energy to just shave it off--it's the only graceful way to go bald, really.

I'm currently 19, but it started showing when I was 17. I have major gray streaks in my hair now, and my facial hair is pretty much all the way.

I blame genetics, my dad had the same.

I started going grey about 4 years ago...I'm 23...so far it's mainly my sideburns and beard, but it's slowly creeping up the sides of my head as well

No, you really dont...unless you like dipping your hair into just about everything you eat, and yanking out hair on the buttons and zippers of every shirt/coat you own. I let my beard grow out once...never again.

Started getting a few grey hairs around the temples late twenties. It's barely noticable but I think it adds a bit of class.

Now last year (32yo) I discovered a grey pube! Nothing distinguished looking about that and let's face it: a man's junk always looks a bit old and wrinkly it really doesn't need any assistance in looking more
aesthetically challenged.

Try a moustache... normal everyday things become a chore.

Anyway my hair's already long enough to dip in my soup, beverage, dirty sink, and of course lighter whenever I don't focus, don't need a beard for that :)
Mind, the zipper/button thingie's less painful...

after a while when you get to know a bit better, they'll just keep it up as a running gag

My hair has been grey as long as I can remember.
I always had white/grey hair for some weird reason, which led to quite a teasing when I was younger.
At one point, though, I looked eerily similar to Dante from Devil May Cry (The one that doesn't look fucking stupid), so there's that.
