At what age did you start getting grey hairs?

Good for you, that’s amazing. I know some in their fifties with no visible grey (and no hair dye), but no one at 65.

The best way to get rid of the prominence of grey hairs (and also the male-baldness pattern) is to get rid of them, literally. I shave my hair with the shortest guard possible, sort of actually going completely bald. Once you muster up the confidence to do it, you'll be done worrying about this for good.

Caucasian female. I discovered my first gray hair at age 23 or so. However, the progression from there was very slow. I had my hair colored for the first time at age 39. Even at 39, roots weren't a huge problem. I could color my hair every 4 months or so and roots weren't really noticeable. Now at 43, coloring my hair is a pain in the neck. As a woman, going gray in your 40s isn't really typical as most women color their hair, and I feel I have to do the same. Not doing so makes me look much older. I think it's different for men.

For Caucasians, I think spotting your first gray hairs in your 20s is quite typical.

Age 48, jet black full head of hair. Basically Ted Danson during Cheers. Enjoy your graying and balding head.

I started showing greys in my head hair around 32-33. In my puubes at around 50-51;

Early 50s. Maybe a few were there in late 40s.

no gray hair at 42, but I've been bald for like 10 years. Trade ya?

22 was when I noticed my first one.

Caucasian male as well, I started getting enough gray hair around my sideburns to be noticable at age 17. Never minded it, it was a good conversation starter at that age when none of my peers were graying out. Turned into a cool salt and pepper by my late 20s and 30s and now at age 40 I'm more gray than brown (although it can really stand out or really be subtle depending on lighting wherever I am). Doesn't bother me at all and I've always looked and felt about my age regardless of hair color.

I've been plucking grey hair as an experiment. I've counted over 30 hairs out of maybe a few hundred that I've plucked (a couple of which I do every month or so) that were black at the root and white/gray at the tip. There is scientific evidence of such reversal possible (such as "long vacations" among other things).

Note that I didn't notice grey hairs until mid 30s after going through the stress of my mother's passing. I swear I plucked some of those same hairs every 2 months in my late 30s.

Upstairs or Downstairs

Around 50, but now at 80 after 2 years of chemo, my hair has grown back in brown with no grey. I look stupid

33 YO, caucasian male. Not one strand of gray hair. Why did people down vote the OP?

I really don't understand why there are so many sensitive girly men on this board. Must be a lot of guys with gray hair upset they look creepy hitting on younger girls.

I’m 40 and my pubes (and some facial whiskers) started graying years ago while I have a full head of non-gray hair, which is a miracle considering the very early extreme balding on my dad’s side. I wouldn’t look good bald so I’ll resort to a hair transplant/coloring if things start to go downhill before 50.

I'm 37 and have no greys (though I've had visible nasolabial folds since my early 20s and the beginnings of crows feet on the outside of my eyes)

Also northern European ancestry

50's

Per ChatGPT:

Vitamin Deficiencies: Lack of vitamins like B12, iron, copper, and zinc can sometimes cause premature graying.

Thyroid Disorders: Conditions like hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism have been associated with premature graying.

Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like alopecia areata can cause premature graying as part of more generalized hair loss.

Hormonal Imbalances: Disruptions in hormones can also affect hair color.

Oxidative Stress: This is a condition in which antioxidants in the body are outnumbered by free radicals, which may contribute to premature graying.

When do Asians get grey hairs

I also started around 25. They have got less over the years. I am 63 now. Stress less grey less.
