What is the normal age to start getting white hairs? I'm 29 and I think I'm still too young to be getting this. It's not like I have one or two, there are a couple dozen whenever I go through my hair. It's not visible at all unless you are specifically looking for them, but there are a lot, and I wasn't expecting this for another 10 years. Do I have Head Cancer or something?
What age did you people begin to get white hair?
I'm 34 and it's getting noticable on the sides of my head. I noticed the first ones a few years ago (can't remember exactly when). So yes, 29 sounds about right.
I've always said though my hair can go any colour of the rainbow if it wants - as long as I still have it. So far so good - harline up front has receeded a very small amount (a scar that used to be covered is now visible).

No head cancer.
I've had the same about that age.
Normal? Maybe not normal in the sense that everyone gets white/grey hair at that age, but it happens.
My father has had grey&white hair since about that age.
I dunno how I'd ever be able to tell, I've always uncovered random blonde bits.
Baldness is the fear, odd coloured hair is meh.
No worries. Just a seasonal response, the wish for a White Christmas.
It varies, I guess. I started to get grey hairs probably even younger than you. Now, at 43, I have to say "grey" on my passport applications :D
But hey, many men my age are involuntarily bald.

Mine is everywhere, and seemingly totally random.

Thanks. I guess it's just something I'll have to accept.
I don't appear to be going bald though, and no one in my family is, so at least I can use dye :D

Mine are pure white, not grey. Is this normal?

That's how it works. The individual hairs are white, but the mixture of white and non-white hairs (brown, black - whatever colour your hair is) makes it look grey.

Nah. I've known some people with full grey hair at 25...personally, I didn't notice my first grey hair until my late 20s, but that's just because up until that point they all fell out before turning grey...
Freak.
Started for me about puberty.
I'm 33 and while I have no white hair on my head yet (and I have no balding going on either), I do get the occasional white hair in my moustache and goatee. They started showing up about 2-3 years ago.

I get blonde and red hairs there, but never white so far, and my normal hair is dark brown.

My overall hair color is brown with a tinge of red (my dad used to be a natural redhead before he went grey... I think my mother might have been also but she has always dyed her hair blonde so I dunno for sure)... but yeah, my beard is noticably redder than my head hair.
My dad's beard was salt-and-pepper by the time he was 22; it shows in some of my baby pictures.
S' father apparently started going grey at 16.
The first white hair I remember was when I was 17, in my beard. I freaked out and pulled it off, and never reappeared. They started appearing in my hair since I was 26 or so, and even if they're still not really noticeable, they're steadily increasing. I'm not particulary worried about it, my father also started greying early, an his father as well, so it runs in the family. The tradeoff is strong, abundant hair. No balding over here evah! :cool:
Since I was old enough to grow hair?

At 29, I noticed my first white hair this year aswell, in my eye brow. A long fuck off shiny white one that I'd never seen before, so it came as a huge surprise one morning. A bit disturbing actually that I hadn't seen it before.
No white or grey hairs as yet :cool:
My friend went quite grey at 17. He dyed for a while, but he stopped a couple years ago, and is now completely grey in his twenties.
As for me, my hair is fair, so when the white hairs do come, presumably they'll be more difficult to notice. :uffda:

Before 20.
Meh! I'm 42 and the only whites I have are on the chest, the eyebrows and some around the groin.
But then we'll all end up like that anyway so why worry? Like we'll all end up dead. :mellow:

Speak for yourself. :goodboy:
I'm 39, and when I let it get long, it begins to show in individual strands. Nothing pronounced yet, but I suppose it's on its way. :(
Although, if I don't shave for several days, I start to see a bit of white on my chin. Disconcerting.
I just had a look to make sure....but no...no grey pubes :)
Gray in my beard, more on the right side for some weird reason. My mom had gray hair since her teens.
Very little in the hair but if I go with a goatee, I look like Col. Sander's bastard child.
First gray hairs started showing around aged 12. At 20, I had several at all times. At 30, my face was partially framed in gray. At 40, I color it so I've no idea. :Embarrass:
at age 23 for me, have mostly in temples.

Sounds like me, I am the same age and also don't have any concentrations, but a bunch scattered everywhere.
White hair started around 32, I blame the stress of marriage.
On the other hand, I'm almost completely bald on top - the hairline started receding when I was 25; I blame the stress of marriage, five years before it actually happened.
Strange thing is, I have clear streaks of reddish brown hair in my beard if I let it grow, and these red hair were the first to turn white about 5 year ago.

Never had any and never needed to colour my hair. It's a benefit of my hair colour.
If it's any comfort, him indoors is 36 and has a few grey hairs on his head but worse (apparently) in his chest hair and pubes :lol:
None that I know of at 38, but then my dad didn't go salt and pepper until his 60s and now at 75 he is still salt and pepper moving on grey :)

My father's not even half grey yet. He is 60 and has/had black hair. His moustache and the temples are mostly grey though. No receding hairline. I have good hope won't be balding before I'm 70.

Same. Blond guys are lucky like that. :cool:
I'm 32 now and I've been noticing a grey hair every few months or so, for the past couple of years. Nothing major yet though.
I'm quite looking forward to having grey hair though. Looks dignified on a man and no-one can tell an old man what to do. Baby blue track suits here I come :wub:

Luckily, my pubes are still a lush, bucolic forest.
