I'd like to see if I can relate to some of the other men on the forum.
When did you first start getting gray hair?
By what time were you half-gray?
Completely gray?
If you prematurely went gray, was it accompanied by other premature aging features (face, skin, etc.)
What age was your father when he started going gray?
Any lifestyle factors that accelerated graying, for yourself or male relatives?
I first started noticing white hairs at 19. At that time I had about 10 or 20. .
At 23 I now have about 100 or so.
My father started going gray at about the same age I did. He was about half-gray by 35, and completely gray by 45. He is now 54 and his hair is white with just a few times as many black hairs as I have white.
I'm not afraid of going gray -- in fact I look forward to it, as long as I stay relatively youthful looking otherwise in contrast to my early onset of graying.
Of note -- I do smoke, as does my father. I've actually been smoking since 14 (), and he since the age of 18.
Also, does anyone think ethnicity is related to the age of onset of gray hair? I am of 1/2 British descent, as well as 1/8 each Swedish, Russian, Italian, and Slovenian. Perhaps some British chaps, or those who have observed graying patterns in British individuals can lend some insights on this possible ethnic factor on the onset graying.
