Going grey

TeddyTedson

I just found a grey hair on the side of my head. How long now before I'm mostly grey? Is this a sign that I've peaked and now my body is in decline? Why does it even happen? I'm a man, 25.

I'm 26, and going grey. Jet black hair, apart from the significantly greying bits



Deal with it. or dye it and get ridicule....

Try dealing with early stages of baldness at 19

Maybe your hair just gets lighter like mine.

I am quite happy about it. I think...

Take a lock of it put it in an envelope just to remember the passing your youth.

Shoe polish. Everyone's none the wiser. It'll be our little secret

I noticed my first grey hair on New Years Day 2010. I marked the occasion on the 'wall of progress' in my bedroom.

Luckily, I haven't found one since. I almost had a stroke when I saw it. I don't intend on going grey.

Did you know that pubes can go grey as well?
Like do people dye them or what?
I do not want grey pubes thank you very much.

I'm starting to go grey and i'm only 18

Yes; it's called gingrey.

It's like normal grey, but more revolting.

A few grays spotted meself, doesn't bother me.

I would love a shock of silver dignified hair, a shock mind you nothing less.

There is nothing wrong with dying your hair, but you'd want to be realistic about when you begin doing it. If you only have an odd few grey strands you want to start dealing with it if you don't like it, there and then. Theres a massive difference between dying a couple of strands and a half / full head of grey.


My Dad has black hair originally, but he let the years go by without doing anything about it, before he decided he wanted to do something about it. So off he went on the sly, bought himself a mens hair colour kid (for a colour he hasn't been in years) and there was mighty slaggings in work before he recruited my help. It was funny stuff. I lifted the coulour out of his hair and got it as close as I could to the shade it was before. I advised him to get a hair cut to cut out damaged and odd coloured hair after.


^TLDR: Deal with it sooner rather than later, or it will be noticed.

Aoifey!

A friend of mine went grey at 15/16. He said he'd never dye it but he gave in last year when he was 18 and dyed it. Everyone still calls him Badger.

I seem to find one every now and then. I don't know where they hide though, cause obviously they're at the front of my head, since I can see them, but then I don't see them..so where do they go.

I discovered my first grey hair when I was about 21. I was worried at first but it was years before I found another one. I'm 35 now and I have about fifteen grey hairs that are barely noticeable.

There is really. I started going grey 10 years ago. It pissed me off hugely so I decided to take a survey on the dyeing option. I asked everyone I came into contact for about 3 months. It was quite a giggle really, casually asking the postman/guard/librarian/barman etc for their opinion. With interesting results:-

All the men said yes, all the women said no. I was getting my hair cut one day and asked the hairdresser, she nearly flipped "Do not dye your hair! Only creeps do that" That sealed it

p.s. No disrespect to your Da intended

TeddyTedson

Oddly enough my a lot of my relatives never went grey, I thought everyone did?

dee.

I'm a 21 year old female and I have a few grey hairs too. I found my first one when I was 19, it was at the side of my head and I had a bump there otherwise I wouldn't have discovered it. I found my second one last week near the front of my head and it upset me more than the first one, I think because a. It was near the front of my head, not covered by other hairs and b. I no longer had "just one grey hair".

My aunt was fully grey when she reached 25. My mom didn't get a grey hair until she was in her mid 30s.

I also have alopecia...I hate my feckin hair! A wig will sort it all out when I'm rich enough to afford a nice one.

TeddyTedson

I won't be dying my hair, too annoying for me. I miss having a shaved head. I might shave it all off again soon. It won't bother me if I went bald but I won't.:mad:

I understand where you're coming from, but at what age did you consider dying your hair?


I've openly said, don't do it later in life, if you don't like the first few strands you see, then dye it. Though, one of my brothers isn't unlike your story, in that he started to get a few grey strands at 11/12. He still has those few, but hasn't gotten any worse, he's still got about 90% of his original hair colour.

Anyway, Im just interested to know why you didn't do something about it, or were you comfortable with it?

My cards on the table: As a young girl I began experimenting with wash in / wash out dyes from about 11 /12, just for fun. I loved the idea of change, and kept it up -and went on to semi-perms to perm hair dyes. I got bored with my hair frequently, and my family and friends got used to me showing up with new colours.

Since then I went back to my original colour, kinda dirty blonde colour, and in the last few years lighten it to the colour I've had it for a while. Just before I do a colour, I cop the odd grey strand, but I'm not worried about it at all. Time does as time does, it passes. Though I prefer to keep the colour I've been with up to now.

I sit on this fence with this one. If someone would rather allow their hair take it's own course, fine. If they prefer to carry on the colour, fine.

Get someone to cum in your hair.


Although, that isn't really dignified, is it?

Odats

Going grey since I was twelve. 26 now and I'll probably be fully grey on top by 30.

Better to be grey than bald. That's my motto.

Wattle

I think I'm going grey from the feet up. I have more grey hair on my under-carriage then I do on my head.

I was in my early 30;s before I had a grey hair... what is wrong with you people? chill the fcku out

Genetics brah. People have told me I'm the most chilled out person they've met Suomi don't believe that it's stress.

Whenever I go grey, I'm just going to shave all my hair off. Not going to be looking at the grey in the mirror everyday, and not going to use them gimmicky products like "Just for men".

I've been going grey since I was 17. I'm now 25.

I'm just grateful I'm not losing my hair, to be honest.

Osgoodisgood

Better hair than air!

I've been grey for years and it's really no biggie.

TeddyTedson

Maybe its because I never sleep anymore:D:D

Actually they often go white straight away, rather than grey.

I've already found the odd white hair

Duggy747

I've long, jet black hair but the grey has seriously kicked in around the past 3 years.

So much so that my friends notice it immediately and mention it but I get more compliments about it than I do insults............suppose they can't take the piss out of me since half of them are going bald anyways :pac:

As long as I don't look like some mutant skunk I don't care about the grey. Shìt, beats baldness I guess since I'd look like BatBoy with a clean shavn head!

Ghandee

Ive been slowly, but noticeably going grey for the last few years, (34 years old) keeping the hair to a tidyish standard definitely helps.

Doesnt bother me too much, as previously noted by another poster, there really is only 2 options available to the greying man;

Deal with it
Or dye it.

You'd probably get ten times more slagging over using Grecian 2000, or going for that cherry blossom look :pac:

Besides, with moobs (and grey chest hair emphasisng them)...

Grey head is the least of my worries! :eek:

b1tches love grey hair.

blame your mammy for that... baldness is caused by a defective x chromosome which affects certain hormones that result in going bald.

Don't worry about it OP. Not until you find your first white pube at least

Oranage2

Also going grey :(

Actually starting plucking some of the grey hairs out but now I'm left with big bald patches.

Feisar

I'm almost 28, I've two or three grey ones on either side. Not really bothered about it.

Going grey is crap with every colour of hair.

Except black. Bitches love that mix of black with underlying grey.

tfitzgerald

My hair has not gone gray it's gone silver:)

I thought this thread would be in relation to getting off with an older lady.

30 and no grey hair yet

sf80

Google 'wnt protein', they know what causes greying now so it won't be long before you can reverse it.

Cee-Jay-Cee

I started going grey at the sides in my early 30's, 10years on and i'm completely grey at the sides but still brown with few greys dispersed throughout on top but its getting thin on top too. I reckon i've another 4 or 5 years and i'll have to simply get a No.1 or 2 all over...which i'm looking forward to.
