My OH and I both have black hair, he is five years younger than me and now has a lot of grey streaks and it really suits him! I have a few, they actually look okay and I am not too fussed about dyeing it. I'll see how it goes. I would hate for him to dye his though, thankfully he wouldn't even consider it.

Got a bunch of greys at 13 (am now 25). Not obvious, around 10-15% are white, hasn't increased since. I dyed my hair a couple of times aged 16-19 but can't really be arsed since. I like my hair short, and gel often (couple of times a week) which covers it nicely.
Ps I have black hair, so whites ( ) are more outstanding!

I'm 46 and don't consider it a waste of time. I love a visit to the hairdresser and a bit of pampering.

I would say embrace the grey but work on the tan. If you go grey it will make your face look paler and that's why most people are wary of going grey, because the combination of the grey hair and the pale face makes you look old. You can be hot with grey hair, just balance the advances out to get the right combination.

Late teens for me. I'm only 24 and have been dying my hair in full to hide the buggers for just under a decade

I've got a few in my sideburns and the beard is as white a Santa's now, but there are still remarkably few on my head. I say embrace the grey!

I've got the sort of ash blond hair that fades, rather than goes grey really obviously, so I doubt I'll bother. Normally, if I dye, it's because I'm bored of my hair colour, and I expect that won't change.

I'm nearly 32 and am getting a few straggly greys appearing in my hairline. At the moment I am colouring my hair but I have noticed one or two of the greys seem very persistant and aren't taking the dye
![]() If I greyed like George Lamb I would embrace them totally as he manages to be going grey beautifully (helped by a load of stylists etc I know!) whereas my greys are straggly and not all together!! |

I was nearly 20 when I spotted my first gray hairs. So I have been dying my hair ever since. Tbh It wasn't suprised to me at all, because my mum and her mum started graying at age of 20 too.
Thankfully it looks like I'm going to take after my Mum's family overall though and end up with the beautiful 'white' hair instead of grey by the time I'm in my late 60's/70's

dye it- grey hair is so aging imo. Although maybe go a few shades lighter than your normal colour as very dark hair on older skin is not a good look. I am naturally dark brown but dye mid brown sometimes add a bit of red

I've decided to brace myself and give it go. Maybe will look more distinguished
I realise that I am no springchicken, and I am fan of growing old disgracefully.

A man should always embrace grey,men that dye their hair to hide grey are weird, a woman maybe in her 70s or never.
