Please tell me I am not the only one who is starting to join the silver foxes. I don't mind anymore. It's just going to look very odd growing out until I am completely grey!

Have been slowly going grey for a few years but it suddenly seems to be accelerating rapidly at 56!

I quite like the distinguished look...

My dad never had grey hair until well into his 50s. Unhappily I got my mothers genes, and at 33 I have a lot of grey hair around the temples. I tend not to think about it, so I dont really care.

Been going grey since I was 17, now 29. Not massively but noticeably. No signs of receding hair line though which is all I care about! smile

A similar age to you! Mind you I tell people I am in my mid 40s.

ETA I think the distinguished look on gentlemen can be very alluring. However, I am headed for the old hag/bag lady come witch look!

At the age of 44, by beard is going grey. At least I can shave it off, but it's barely noticable when it's short.

I am with you....I love greying hair on a man cloud9

And why tell them mid 40's you dafty.....age is just a number!

I have a few female friends who have all had grey hair since their early 20's. Hair dye is their friend.

I find by adding 10 years onto my age that I no longer feel so old! I don't thinl anyone would belive me if I said I was 50 so I have stuck with 10 years older.
I won't succumb to dye - I used to have sitting on length hair and I have cut it all off - but still have a reasonable amount despite it being short (waist length)

You jammy jammy so and so!

I'm 29 and have almost a half head of grey. Premature grey runs in my family. Although I'm blonde so it's pretty well hidden (thank feck). I think it's gotten worse since I met the OH hehe

It must be a blonde thing then, as both my friends are also blonde. But with a full head of high and low lights, you would never know.
