Grey hair at 26?!

Stonedofmoo · 17 Dec 2007 at 13:21

My girlfriend keeps pulling grey hairs from my head. I wouldn't mind but I'm fit, healthy and 26!!

Is this not a bit early to be growing grey hairs, whats next, baldness :eek:

My baldness started at 18.. It's what happens to us men. Shave your hair of and forget about it. Alternatively turn gay and dye it.

i'm 23 with an already receeding hairline, who should be more worried?!

Edit, the chap above should be more worried

I'm hoping never to be bald, my Dad is 65 and still has a thick head of hair - albeit with a lot of grey by this point

Actually Duke you are right really, mine are more white from what I can see of them.

started going grey at 16 here but as long as its still attached im not hugely bothered

Male pattern baldness usully skips a generation and is related to the maternal side I believe. So if your mums father is bald, chances are that you will also go bald.

My dad and grandad and great grandad all have/had full heads of hair. I have a receding hairline. It comes from the mother's side of the family.

'Grey' hairs generally are white.

Pictures? Get down to Boots and get yourself some Just For Men, it looks like it works perfectly on the adverts

I like grey hair on young men. Mmm. But I'm a bit odd like that.

Bit of baldness ain't a problem either as long as you don't end up trying crazy spikey things or comb-overs to hide it...

I've had grey since I was 17, so worry not.

As said, JFM does the job in 5 mins.

Stonedofmoo · 17 Dec 2007 at 13:32

lol aye those adverts make me laugh, 'targets only the grey hairs'

Yeah sure....

My mum's dad still had some hair when he died, but not a lot. This does not fill me with confidence!!

There's a chubby fella in Bristol that does that (the spikey hair thing), probably a similar age to me. Keep seeing him in random pubs.

I've got a comb-over to look forward to. I'm already receeding and getting a bit thin (I'm 23, 24 on Jan 21st, so I want a "Happy Birthday Captain" thread)

Just shave it all off. Much better.
