| I was 34. I swear it happened overnight. Woke up to a salt and pepper beard one day out of the blue. |

Which is better than other people in my family. My mom had a grey streak in her hair when she was 8 years old |
| Started losing my hair about 22-23. Gray started coming in on my sideburns a few years later. Sideburns are noticeably gray, with my beard still mostly red and brown but with about 10-15% gray mixed in. Hair doesn't get long enough for anyone to tell, I shave it off once a week. |
| Blonde hair on my head, tons of gray in my beard, and quite a few white chest hairs. The gray in the beard started around age 45. 49 now. |

Just turned 42, beard is about 1/3 white and 2/3 dark red. It will probably be white by my next birthday. My hair is still fighting the good fight, a little gray at the temples but still luxuriously thick and dark. My best friend lost his hair when we graduated high-school |

I woke up with a tiny strip in my hair the morning after my ex wife told me she was pregnant with my son. Not even kidding. The stripe has gotten thicker over the last twenty years but still mostly just a stripe. The chicks dig it.

I had grey temples in high school, and it's just now more salt than pepper at 48, but the beard is nearly all white. The ONLY compliment I've EVER gotten from a stranger was at my twentieth class reunion. A girl from high school that I have NEVER talked to leaned over and whispered "I LOVE your hair!" as she walked by. Now, my chest hair, on the other hand.... I have a large circle of purely white hair right in the center of my upper chest. That means that I have two triangles of dark chest hair..... One over each pec. It looks like I have a bikini top made out of chest hair

I’m 65, my beard started getting some grey ten years or so ago and is mostly grey now. But I have almost no grey in the hair on my head which has led to a few people asking me if I had dyed my hair. I almost wish my hair would at least start turning grey so people wouldn’t think that it is dyed.

I said 20s but only because there wasn't a choice for teens. I started to get grey hair in my teens. It's genetic in my family on my Dad's side. I actually held out longer than most and still have a bit of dark hair, but I'm losing that to the male pattern baldness from my mother's side. My grandfather was of the generation that wore hats. When he was a young man and went into liquor stores and they asked for ID, he'd just tip his hat.

Life is about choices.
If you make a mistake once, it's a mistake.
You make the same mistake again, that's a choice.
