At 28, I'm having to pull a few out around my ears. I'm also starting with barbs in my eyebrows and whiskers in my ears.

$hit.

When did you start with the greys?

my mate who started going grey at 19 said it's the grey pubes that shock more than anything else

Grey/Salt'n'pepper hair on a younger man is actually very sexy....in my opinion

However, hairy ears are not paperbag

Oh and no grey hairs yet biggrin

I started going grey when I was 16 (more than half a lifetime ago). Some days I quite like it, other days I hate it.

A mate of mine has been dyeing his barnet since he was 18 to cover them up. Apparently he shaves his nethers and thinking about it, I bet that's why.

Yuck

Well, I've got a receding hairline and a tiny bald patch. Trying to give a st... I kind of care sometimes but mostly I am not bothered. Perhaps I should wear the hood of my hoodie up and can pretend to be young, still, innit. rolleyes

I started to go grey round the edges at about 28 too. Thought about dying it but hell, it`s distinguished isn`t it?

ETA: I`m 30 BTW and by my age my Dad was grey all over. Glad my genes are holding back!

I first found a few right around my 25th birthday. A lot more noticable now at nearly 26. I don't know if its accelerates or has 'spurts' but at this rate I could be silver by 30!

started getting the odd rogue hair at 22, they're getting far more populous a few years on. Can't say it bothers me, though I'm fairly sure I'll have a full head of grey by my mid 30's, which does bother me hehe

Had more thoughts about it. And the possibility of grey hairs (of which I can't find any).

They would be good considering the industry I work in. thumbup

I haven't had my hair cut for a couple of weeks now & one of my best friends cheerily pointed out that I have grey hair coming through on Sunday.
