Me? Grey hair? Not a one of them. They are all [blond](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/the_mermaid.html) (for now). I saw my first grey hair at 16, by 30 I was about 50% grey but now they’re all blonde. It’s a miracle I tell you.( a miracle of modern chemistry) BTW just wait until you see your first grey pubic or chest hair. Now that’ll make you feel old. 😃 ---

Well I happen to like dark hair with a little grey in it, and having met you, I think it would look really good on you. But I can see why this might not be comforting to you, in this moment of dire trauma… ---

Boy I’m feeling lucky now! 34 and not a gray hair in sight. Receeding hair line? Bah, thick and full as a teenager. Hell I have to shave my head every week just to keep from growing an afro. Why I… Hey what are you guys doing with those canes? Stop! I’ll call the… Argh!!! ---

I’ll be 48 in January. Nary a gray hair on me - got them good genes from my dad. Hubby will be 45 on Saturday - his beard is more gray than brown, and there are various gray hairs in other places… hehehehe He gets offered the senior citizen menu… ---

For my part, I would love some gray hair. I would love to look a little older than 16. I am 23, by the way. ---

I’m 23. Last year, I found a hair, a teeny, tiny, weak little blond hair, but a HAIR nonetheless, in my CHIN! I freaked out. My mother says I’m paranoid, but I always worry I’ll start developing a mustachse or something. I did see a woman at McDonalds the one day…with a beard. THAT was freaky. And not just a few hairs-I mean, an honest-to-goodness full beard…all around her face… ick. ---

My hair started turning grey when I was in my late teens. Of course, this attracted a lot of teasing and insults (some good-natured, some not), but that was okay. You see I didn’t feel embarassed about it at all, so I was happy it tended to draw all the flak away from other things which I _was_ embarassed about. ---

my beard has been growing MUCH grey for a while now, and it freaked me out at first, but not anymore, BUT THIS… …i was kinda running my fingers thru the sideburn area, just in front of the ear, when i feel something that just ain’t right! i isolate it and yank it out…humm…what the?.. ITS A 4 INCH KINKY-JUST-EXACTLY-LIKE-A-FUCKIN’-BALL-AREA HAIR! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! p.s.-- my wife has standing orders to kill me in my sleep at the first sign of ear-hair. ---

I’m 36 years old, female, with a white streak (widow’s peak) that came in naturally after I yanked out a few white hairs. Now I’ve got a lot more than the few originals…but I get so many compliments on the streak that now I rather like it. ---

Every self respecting DJ must bleach their hair blonde, at least once. Right? Isn’t that a rule? 😉 ---

What’s really fun is that grey hair is often thicker. I always know when I need a haircut 'cos the grey starts to stick out and I look like a hedgehog. ---

Still have a full head of hair, (that’s not bad for an old guy), and there are still quite a few brown ones in there. And look, there are at least two dark ones left in the 'stache. The beard? If I let my beard grow, we’d all be snow blind. And here is WTMI: There is some grey hair on the chest, but the hair on the butt is still black. ---

I have some grey (actually silvery white) hair but it’s hard to see because it blends in really well with the natural auburn, you know the colour that women pay big money for? I got it for free along with the long eyelashes. Should I duck now? I hear that this is another advantage to having reddish hair besides the fact that we’re sexual dynamos, we age gracefully. One day my four year old daughter pointed out to me that I have white “friskers” and upon close inspection, there’s a lot of them. That’s okay, they are still just as good as the others for tickling all my girls. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by gatopescado \* > \*\*p.s.-- my wife has standing orders to kill me in my sleep at the first sign of ear-hair. \*\* Ah yes, the dreaded ear hair. And don’t forget the ever-popular and closely-related nose hairs. How is it that you can go to bed with nary a hair protruding from your nostrils, then wake up in the morning and the nose hairs are tickling your upper lip? ---

Bah. Kids these days. I started going gray at 18. Didn’t bother me once women started pointing out that they’d gladly give it up for Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart. Hey, **DJ** , you worried about looking old and not-cool? Is [this guy](http://www.repriserec.com/ericclapton/) cool? Just asking. Oh, and women who are starting to go gray? Rowr. Big-time.
