Grey hair

I'm hoping my hair and beard goes all grey, and the sooner the better ... I don't like the 'salt and pepper' on me

This is how mine have come in except some of them aren't full hairs, just a little bit on the top. But as it's increasing they are starting to look less like single hairs as in places there are a few together. There's still significantly more brown hairs but at some point I know the grey will win.

Mine has so far been happening very slowly so I'm hoping it continues at that speed. Mine depends on the lighting of how obvious it is. And it's far more obvious to people that are taller than me as some of the grey is just the top part of a hair so there's more on top of my head. I hope I can get to a point where it feels normal but I guess whilst it's continually changing thats going to be difficult.

I feel your pain.
My hair is going white *rolls eyes*, and I'm not even 30 yet! I think it's stress related for me. Sometimes I still hate it but as more and more hair is whitening I am adjusting to it and it's starting to look more 'normal' for me now.

I seem to be getting random single while hairs. They look like strands of glitter so I'm happy.

My hair started going grey when I was in my early thirties, I’m now a ’silver fox’, I thought about colouring it but can’t really be bothered. If anyone asks me, I just tell them I have grey highlights and the shade  is erotic silver!

You could have woven highlights every 3-4 months that will help to mask the grey. The change will be quite gradual though, I'm totally silver now and going white in places, my hairdresser loves my hair colour so much she's threatened to sack me if I dye it, lol. Grey hair is really trendy and lots of people would pay mega buck to have properly grey hair.

Men can be silver foxes, a lot of peope find this quite attractive, but grey hair is seen as a negative for women, so I call myself a silver vixen, good at skip diving and screaching in the night!

A friend noticed I had grey hairs on my head when I was 20.

I started going bald in my 20s then slowly grey in my 30s.

Now I have a completely balt top, a monks ring of white hair on the rest of my head, a white beard when it grows and black eyebrows with just the odd grey hair.

It has started on my chest hair too in the last decade - slowly moving down do below my pecs are all black still but above is very salt and pepper.

After the inital dismay of thinning hair I quckly came to terms with the fact that this was the new me and it was never going backwards so I have embraced it ever since.

All the time, stress and money needed to try to roll the clock back and be something I'm simply not is a real waste - better to embrace the real you and be proud of it.

Look on the bright side. Wait till your 40s and your hair starts falling out and you turn bald you will be wishing those grey hairs back then.

I just think I'd struggle to manage anything like that.

I'm hoping as it did start a while ago and didn't progress very quickly that it'll take a long time to go completely grey but there are now full grey hairs whereas they used to be little whispy bits on the top. Some of them are near the front which makes it more obvious. Before it was only obvious to people that were taller than me. There is definitely a long way to go before it'd be completely grey but I just don't like them being obvious.

Until it started becoming more obvious, I was determined that I would go grey naturally but now it's happening I'm doubting myself on that one.

I started going grey when I was in my 40s and now my hair is pretty much grey all over, but annoyingly, lighter at the front and darker at the back. I use a permanent colour as it is the only thing that covers it. I used to get highlights which disguised grey well at the beginning, and it wasn’t overly noticeable when the roots grew out. Some people have that beautiful, bright, light grey hair that looks as if it belongs on a magazine cover. My hairdresser told me that purple shampoo can reduce the brassiness of bleached and blonde hair, but it also brightens natural grey hair. I haven’t tried it but I do wonder if it would be worth just going grey and trying a purple shampoo, so long as it wouldn’t make my hair purple. 

I like grey hair when it is more white in colour rather than steely grey. My hair has some grey in it and I use a semi permanent dark blonde colour every couple of months - it blends the grey into my original brown hair colour and gives a light auburn tint. 

I have vitiligo so it's not just my hair that's loosing colour , I'm not that patchy now as most of my pigment has gone. Being in the sun even briefly causes me to burn very quickly. 

My wife apparently started going grey when she was in her early teens, she finally relented and embraced the grey around 5 years ago. If I had a vote, I'd say go grey gracefully, it can be distinguishing and flattering.
