kind of a rude question but one that me and at least a couple friends have wondered… when your hair goes grey does it ALL go grey?
Started in my beard in my thirties, spread to scalp and body hair over the past few decades, although the more southern regions stayed dark longest.
You could try looking up some of the “mature” sites (which urls I cannot reference here).
thanks, was tryin to get the answer without havin to look at anything i’d rather not see. i’m a bit of a young fella and not too keen on sseing “mature” sites
Grey hair started coming in when I was around sixteen. Now in my forties its not as much of a novelty anymore. Didn’t notice body hair or whiskers turning grey until mid thirties.
Check out the “Bozo the Bush” rerun of Sex and the City for a discussion of this very topic.
Wait, so does this mean people normally go grey down there in their forties?
In my case, every individual hair was either white or (nearly) black. Over time, the percentage of the former increased. This is sometimes called “salt and pepper”. I don’t know if true gray hair exists.
Varies per person, pokey. As mentioned before, each “category” of hair – scalp, facial, general body, strategic-crossroads – may go on its own schedule, and each may even gray by patches (the “skunk” effect).
OK. I’ve been going grey for about six years now. And as for where it started, well, I’ll put that in a TMI box:
My first grey hairs appeared in my goatee, and on my scrotum. And no, I am not aware of any connection between the two.
And now ladybug is finding grey hair on my chest.
