First grey hair on your head is one thing, first one downstairs is another think altogether.
I found my first grey pube the other day. It's the last time I eat my granny's homemade trifle.
47 and fully Schofield but both my parents were white at 40 so I knew it was inevitable. My niece reckons I'd look weird now with dark hair and I tend to agree.
One thing I will not abide though is the onset of thick bushy eyebrows, they get plucked as soon as they appear.
Well done alexandersupertramp - HtS comment reminded me of that gag (I seem to remember the doctor has a heart attack at the end of the episode and Rab leaves him to kark it in the office 🙂 )
36, greying for years now, and thinning rapidly at the back.
For the time being I'm telling myself it's a George Clooney "silver fox" sort of look.
But it's only a matter of time before the thinning progresses to the point it's more of an "egg in a silver nest" sort of look. Hopefully I catch it before then and transition gracefully to the escaped convict look.
It's just hair.
I couldn't give a toss abut going grey. It is what it is.
Thank you for the varied answers and confessions there. Someone asked how long my hair is, its long, down to mid chest, but typically tied up in a knot or 'man bun' if you prefer using terms like that. Never a ponytail. I have a beard too. See also: Jesus Of Nazareth etc. He never lived long enough to go grey did he? He had some stresses though tbf. Probably had a few.
For the record, personally not overly bothered, but it certainly for me has become the first tangible sign of getting older.
My hair isn't grey, it's totally white and it has been since I was about 35 but until last year I had a very short shaved head so people never really noticed. I'm now 49 and in the passed year I have let my hair (and my beard) grow substantially and have got used to it. It runs in my family, my dad and sister were grey at a similar age to me and I''m perfectly comfortable with it.
50 and still ginger. One or two white hairs. The later man’s hair has more grey volunteers than original hair.
Always been proud of having ginger hair. Funny thing is when I race the kids nobody believes my age.
First grey hair at 15, embrace it.
…..but I kept it short for work, and keep it short as a preference now
Had a beautiful blond mane for most of my life, now at 52 a mix of mousy brown, grey and in the last few years thinning fast. Don't care that much tho as my Dad was bald and combing over by 21, so have counted me blessings for most of 30 years +.
I started going grey when i was 21 but even now at 45 its still only 50%ish grey. Most of my family were white haired by 45 so doing slightly better than them. It has never bothered me in the slightest although people have no idea about my age as i have very little facial hair so i am baby faced with a head of grey hair.
An old mate of mine started going bald at 19 and grey at 21. Bowlegged AF and looks like he's wearing white knitted jumpers under his t-shirts. Proper chimp. We all still love him though. Hang in there.
