How old were you when you first started having visible grey/white hair?

1. 36 but it’s barely noticable.

2. Mid-20s, I think.

3. I’m 36 now and I’ve just plucked a massive one front and centre.

   I think there are a few in my beard – but they might just be more ginger to be fair.

   So, now I guess 🤣

4. In my mid-thirties, mostly in my beard.

5. Had a single gray hair early in my 20s, might have even been there in my late teens.

   Now mid-20s, a few more have appeared.

6. 16. I’m in my mid 30’s now and am like 90% grey/10% white hair. The beard is still brown though. So that’s nice.

7. Early 20’s. Its been a losing battle ever since

8. A few started showing up around 21ish, more than a few by 30, and after 34 they really started to take off.

9. 18. I’m 27 now and I still only have about 3 of them.

10. Around 32, I’d say. I’m 38 and it’s well established in my beard. Because I’m blond, it’s barely noticeable on my head but it’s started.

11. Bruh I was born with a small patch behind one of my ears, now at 23 i have a few visable ones running long the side of my head.

12. I had a few white hairs at like 16

13. I’ll be 37 in October and I’ve started to notice about 2months ago. It’s not really visible, but I can see a couple when I’m looking at myself in the bathroom mirror

14. Early 20’s

15. 18. I was doomed both my parents always had grey also.

16. I had a white patch forever. Around 28 it went away then appeared over my entire head. And beard a couple years later at 30

17. 37 here, and I have found 2 strands of gray hair by my temple.

    I gotta say, I’m pissed about them.

18. Mid 20s for the first one, 33 now and maybe like 1% of my hair is grey, but it’s coming in in a sexy way (so says my wife)

19. Early 30s…my beard went hard-core mostly salt with sparce pepper in my early 40s

20. 18 lmao

21. I think I was 24. Funnily enough, they grey hair disappeared again and at 33, my hair is black and no gray hair is immediately noticeable. Don’t know how that is possible.

22. I’m 47. Not yet.

23. Started being noticeable in my beard mid-thirties and at 40 its getting towards salt and pepper but still a good deal more pepper than salt. Less gray showing on my head, but getting to be less hair there in general.

24. 18 or so

25. I guess 22

26. 71

27. Somewhere between 40-45. Didn’t really notice any until I grew a beard.

28. 43M – I just saw a couple of strands. I think it looks fine – but a lot of men I know are freaking out around my age (early 40’s).

29. 31-32 i noticed a few grays in my beard

30. I’m 31 and don’t really have any on my head, but my beard gets some wiry grey hairs if I don’t trim it regularly

31. Mid-late 30’s, but only in my beard so far

32. 25 or 26

33. 25

34. I have a few white ones on my sides in my late twenties.

35. 3. Then they went away for decades, reappeared as a lock of white hair in highschool. That went away and now my beard is turning white as a 40 year old.

36. I had a weird white spot of hair in one of my sideburns since high school. Mid twenties it just creeped down and have overtaken my beard almost completely now.

37. 15

38. Probably since I was 23-24. Just a few silver hairs in my front flip. My lady loves it though

39. Gray hairs – late teens, the bald spot started around age 28 – got worse after having kids.

40. Mid thirties.

41. 28

42. Im 37, and just found my first one

43. Just a few months ago! (I’m 29)

    Right now it’s just a couple hairs on either side of my head, behind my temples. My dad was fully grey by the time I was born so I expect I also will be by my late 30s.

44. 32. I like it. Feel like I’m finally aging into my personality. Also think it looks cool as fuck.

45. Beard hair early 30’s

46. I’m 33 and I’ve started noticing a few white hairs in my beard. RIP to the guys in their teens and twenties in this thread.

47. 18, mid twenties now and have about 20 or so

48. Mid teens? Whenever I started getting facial hair. Had a little patch of white, maybe 1/4″.

    My mother died in her 80s. Her hair was still mostly dark red.

49. I started losing hair at 16 lol

50. 17… I’ll take that over balding
