very interesting perspective here, what a GRAYt post  Sorry, couldn't resist  I have been experiencing random grayness for about 7 or 8 years now. Eh, just like getting thin on top I knew it would happen, who cares?  Steve Martin's hair started turning gray when he was 15  He colored it of course for a little while, but I guess he just accepted it was going to be gray and didn't think twice about it  Thanks stopping in!

This is simply a Rite of Passage, in the scheme of life; some people are puzzled by the change, while others panic because it seems to them it's the end of the world as they know it. It's part of the ticking clock; how you end up watching time go by will depend on how you accept what's coming next. In this case, gray hair seems to the minute by minute thing for me. Since you favor the icing on the cake in relation the gray matter, then I'll definitely paint you the pic of me shining that shade of color your direction. Thanks for stopping in

I actually wanted to get grey hair since I was about your age, but got the first two or three greys after turned 40. Now, my hair is mostly grey, I never dyed it, and my hairdresser says that it would be a crime to do so. Many women, myself included, love grey hair on men. Thanks for reading, stop by again!

Interesting to hear from a young man's point-of-view. When I was 29, I found 3 long grey hairs that were visible in the up-do that I had done for my job at the bank. They were well over 9 inches long and made me realize that I had been growing them for years. Now that I am in my 50s, I definitely treasure my grey hairs, though they are still far and few between. The alternative would be that I stopped growing any hairs because I would no longer be growing anything due to death... Treasure everything that happens to you, to your body and to your mind, Kitkat Thanks for stopping in again!

Last time I truly did that was back when I was experimenting with blond highlights; let's say I kind of outgrew that phase in my life.

I'm sure you can find all sorts of opinions about grey hair, just like you can with balding or long hair or anything really. I think the key is since it is your way, make it your way! Thanks for swinging by; please come again!

Found my first gray hair when I was right around your age. Consider it a reminder to keep a youthful outlook. As my barber tells me when I note how much gray currently piles up when I get a haircut, "A bald man wishes he had your problem." (Some do, some don't. Don't hold me responsible for what my barber says, even if I do quote it here in support of my argument.) Thank you for being part of the symposium again! As for participating, I always look forward to penning something that everyone would enjoy reading - thanks for having me!

I always think men who dye their hair are forever on a treadmill!

It wouldn't so bad if the gray wasn't in patches on my head; it's starting to look like patch job in the same way people put different shades of color on walls to see what matches...

yes, I have the same issue....I am "graying" and I don't like it. In fact not gray, my hair is more "silver." The silver hair is not like my black hair- it is wiry and unruly- it stands up and at odd angle (it wont lie flat)! To make matters worse, I can't color it. Grey hair has some pigment left but my silver hair has no pigment left, thus to color your hair you need to have some pigment for the dye to hold onto. I learn the hard way! LOL! Thanks for stopping in!

Embrace the gray hairs, they make a man look distinguished. When I was probably 19 or 20 I saw an older man relaxing at a festival with his shirt off. His hair was white as was his chest hair, I knew at that moment that I would want to be with a man with white or gray hair when I got older. He just looked sexy to me even when I was at that young age. Just be happy with yourself and other's will take their lead from you. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for stopping in, swing by again.

Between black and white are colors, not only gray. As hair, forelocks of different colors, even salt and pepper, are charming to me ... Thanks for sharing.

Awe Cookies, a little gray is soo sexy on a man. Besides when you pluck out the grays they just come back, speaking from experience lol. It's all about attitude...take those gray hairs as a symbol of maturity and wisdom. Have a good day~
