Going slightly gray can make men look more distinguished – I am starting to get some at the temples and have no issues with that

I have the same look / complexion as my dad and he still has a full (if slightly thinned) head of hair ( in his mid 70’s) so I expect to be the same

I think that you have to accept what life deals you in the hair stakes. Though greying can be dealt with by dye so can be easier to cope with. I think that it is a mid life crisis moment for many men when they reach that age and either lose the hair or go grey or even both.

I have an increasing number of grey hairs. I wouldn't mind so much if they were like my usual brown hairs only grey, but they're not. They're twice as course and stick out sideways, which looks like there's a scarecrow inside me trying to escape :?

Being Alive > Going grey = Going bald > Being dead

I'm going bald and my eyebrows are going grey.

Who gives a s**t? Really? Is it that important?

Beard seems to be going grey-except for the bits that seem to be going ginger. There is red hair in the family. OK if I keep it short though. Eyebrows getting a bit wild, but right colour

Billy Connoly song-" oh Jesus Christ I'm nearly forty, my pubic hair is going grey! I can't cut the mustard like I used to, I think it's downhill all the way"
QUite some time ago, I was probably about 15, It's always stuck in my mind for some reason.

I don't own a comb or hairbrush.

I'm going grey already, but it's not a problem.

Admittedly, it's only noticeable when my hair gets a bit longer than it's typical length, and it much less noticeable when gelled, but it is definitely going grey none-the-less.

Practically everyone of European origin has some ginger hairs in their beard. I certainly have, not too many, but look carefully and they're there.
I bet you have to. Whoever you are.

Only a couple but they've always been there.

I've had a shaved head before, as soon as it gets too grey or bald I'll do it again. No point worrying about it.
