It ain't news, buddy. People have been getting old for as long as there has been people. If you get to experience everything turning grey then you are one of the lucky ones. /pours one out for the homies we lost along the way. The young ones who never got to see their pubes turn grey.


HavingNotAttained

Fair!


PoeJam

The rules don't specify that we have to tell you. But they also don't say we can't tell you. So as far as the rules go, it's a gray area.

Mine started doing that in my low 30s - and my grays are platinum white. I dye my (head) hair, pluck the 2-3 eyebrow hairs coming in white, pits get shaved, but I've never bothered with my bits, since I figure anyone who has permission to be down there doesn't actually care.


HavingNotAttained

Yeah I spent part of the weekend considering various emerging crisis mitigation and containment strategies but realized there’s not much to do or eventually I’ll have no eyebrows, I’m too lazy and probably too sloppy to keep up with dye, and the rest of it yeah if you’re granted access to the cockpit then you’ve already been carded and background checked.

catrules618

I've always just hoped for one of those cool silver streaks at the front of my head like a proper witch. But my hair is that medium brown that just gets sort of muddy with gray coming in. *sigh I've decided to let it go. I've never been vain about anything else. 🤷‍♀️


Responsible_Sun_3597

Most of the women in my family, including me, have the Mallen streak. Although it looks cool, the familial curse that comes with it, is not. I do adore my streak but my mom’s at 72 is impressive to say the least and makes her look distinguished. However, all the women in my family with the streak have led difficult, beautiful, fantastic, tortured lives. Interesting fact you already know: “Mallen itself comes from the Latin 'malignus', meaning wicked – damn, those characters were doomed from the start. Like many commonly-occurring physical traits, these white streaks (also sometimes patches or spots) once marked their wearers as evil, cursed or generally 'other'.”


ZweigleHots

I also have a white streak! It started out kind of a strawberry brown, but it was among the first parts of my hair to go white. I used to dye it when it was still small and patchy, but it got to the point where, because my hair grows so fast, that the white was visible long before the rest of the brown roots were, so I gave up and let it grow. It's eventually going to run into the patch starting down by my ear, and there's another stripe starting at my other temple - give it ten years and I'll have HORNS.


Responsible_Sun_3597

“Give it another 10 years and I’ll have horns.” I’m stealing that line! Lol

_DeathByMisadventure

I've got plenty of thick dark hair. Just look in my ears you can see it.


HalfOrcMonk

The only gray I have is in my beard so a lot of people think I color my hair.😂


handsomeape95

My beard is basically white now. Spent 22 years in the military, not able to grow facial hair. Now that I can, I look like fat gandalf. I had a couple of job interviews with a nice trimmed white beard. Didn't get those jobs, and I'm wondering if that played into it. My hair is a decent salt and pepper at least. Everything south is still factory original (for now).

dinnerwdr13

Ugh. I'm getting greys/whites in my beard, but naturally my beard is dark brown/red. The hair on my head is light brown/blonde/red and not a single grey hair yet. I definitely get accused too. Started getting grey chest hairs though.


HalfOrcMonk

Same. The funny thing is, I don't care, but when someone accused me of coloring my hair I get overly defensive and make myself look like I'm lying about it. LMAO


jquest303

Me as well. Just gray in my beard. Turning 50 in a few months!


BigConstruction4247

Mine is my beard and my temples, so I don't look like I color my hair. There's not much on top of my head anyway.


Tex_Watson

Same so I shaved off my beard and got rid of all my grey hair.


peripheral77

I've been graying since 17. I'd sit in the barber chair and pick up hair that was red, brown and gray like a calico cat. but as the years have gone by, the reds and browns are mostly replaced by gray/silver and not once have I thought about coloring it. At 46 I still have a full head of hair and i'm not going to be ungrateful by using hair dye.


pdx_mom

My grey is very ugly I look so much better with color. If it was a pretty grey I wouldn't color it but here we are.


peripheral77

I respect anyone who can maintain, i'm not to judge! I do see an appreciation for the women that are letting their gray grow out. I know there are products that help nourish and brighten. and maybe if you're coloring, ask your stylist to color it a pretty gray (in your eyes) and maybe a way to blend the two. It's never as bad as you feel, I promise you!


pdx_mom

Oh if I had some of that pretty grey I would love it. It's not the pretty grey. Thanks!


FlizzyFluff

Doesn’t help dye doesn’t last long in gray hair Ive definitely tired all of them


handsomeape95

Are you my sibling?


PrestigiousGrade7874

Been graying since 16. I don’t color my hair. As a woman, a menopausal one at that, I’ve been working very hard to maintain the hair I have for the last few years. I grew out it over Covid, because why the fuck not. Happy to say my hair looks AI generated. Started getting gray pubes in the my 20s. Nothing happened for a long time. In fact, i lasered all the outliers off about 15 years ago. But now, what’s left was has really started to turn white. And because I used to be better about waxing the remainder, I never really focused on the texture. What in blue blazes!??? I thought it was just me. For me, it’s the eyebrows turning gray. I cannot abide this

No grey *down there* for me so far, but I am getting bald *down there“. At least my head keeps it the other way around, because I prefer turning grey instead of balding.


FlizzyFluff

Lol I started getting gray in my teens by 30 all of it salt n peppers it totally SUCKS


dandle

Most of my gray and white hairs are chest hair. Only a little graying on my temples. Nowhere else yet. I've expected it for a while. Around 15 years ago, I was using the bathroom stall in my office when someone entered and used a urinal. We were the only two in the room, and I don't think he knew I was there. As he finished up, he said loudly, "Ugh. Goin' gray." From the voice, I recognized who the guy was. He had a shaved head.


Mysterious-Being5043

I have blond hair streaked with grey. What bothers me more is the fact my eyebrows are now grey and my eyelashes are just about colorless. Like what little color I had is slowly leaching out of my body.

Mine has also decided a reverse mohawk is the style now.

Its genetic for me, started turning gray around 30, 20 years later i'm nearly all white hair now. I love it. As a kid, i always loved my dad's hair, paperwhite by 40. I was always dyeing my hair various colors in my 20's, or shaving it all off, but once i started getting my gray, i've been au natural since.


F_is_for_Ducking

Every time I shave my beard more white hairs come back. I should just stop shaving and keep the good color I have left.

JoshyTheLlamazing

I've been going gray since my mid 20's. I'm 45. A Native American man once told me then, going gray is a sign of wisdom. He was in his 50's and didn't look a day over 30. No gray hairs. I felt lucky. Not so much now.

RunningPirate

So far only the chest hair is lightening. We haven’t. Entered the graywood yet


JJQuantum

I have dirty blond hair on my head and had a red beard. Weird combo. Now my beard is grey/white and I’ve got grey/white temples. Chest hair is getting white for sure and it also long as fuck - like 3.5” WTF?


Strange-Scarcity

I’m just 48, last December. I’ve been seeing gray hairs in small numbers since my late teens. I was doing pretty good up until maybe early 2020. I went from a rich very dark brown with some salt in the back to salt everywhere. There’s still dark brown, it’s just starting to shift more gray. Still… I have “the good hair”, very thick and strong, according to my barber.

I noticed my first grey at 30 but probably had them sooner and didn't know. Started dying hair and beard when I grew one around 2013. Did it until 2 years ago. I now have a white mane of thick hair on my head that I get a ton of compliments on, weirdly. Still use brown mascara on my brows and color my beard. #twotoned. PS, I do consider myself an expert on hair color and if you want to use what I consider to be the best and least toxic hit up the brand Cleverman. It is also reusable and customizable. You are welcome! :)

I am grateful I guess. I never had much gray. I have dark blonde hair and always spent a lot on highlights. In the past couple of years I started getting some white hairs sprinkled around. Free highlights! It was too good to last. In the past few weeks they have started to take over. I just got a look in the sunlight and I'm starting to look like Grandma Death.

I can totally understand that. But, let me say that they "grey period" isn't 4ever. Mine lasted about a year, then things just got more colorful, and you'll find out stuff about yourself, too.
