1. At least you have hair
I was overjoyed at my first grey hair. I thought people would take me seriously. heh.

3. Be thankful that they're not deserting you
The upside of having grey hair is that you still have hair. My temples are completely grey, but the hairline is holding firm (I'm 46).

6. "OH MY GOD!!! I HAVE A HAIR that isn't gray!!!"
Been a long time since I noticed that first gray hair. Hell, its actually going white now. I'm in my early 40's... Well, Nighttrain, there is always Just For Men - that Grecian looks great, btw. Honest, no one can tell. :wink:
:thumbsup:

8. Aren't you in your mid to late 30's?
Man, I'm 31 and have a few of them (I keep them hidden though, so I don't know how much, but not much yet, but probably at least 50 or so). I think I found my first one at 27. Consider yourself lucky to have just found the first one now.

9. The key, at this stage,
...is to get a barber/stylist who knows to say "Hey, there's a little blonde hair back here."

I've got one of those. ;)

10. Stop your whining, ya wee lass.
I've had a few gray hairs since I was 22. (I'm 37 now) I like them, provided that they're still in the minority. The thing that pisses me off is that I noticed my first gray in my goatee a few months ago. The head-hairs never bothered me, but the gray beard hairs make me feel old.

15. The fact that you're familiar with TOP means
that you're no Spring Chicken to begin with. It also means that you're cooler than most people.

I'd say that you came out ahead on that deal.

14. You're still at the stage where you can tweeze them out
If I did that now, I'd be bald at the temples. That's when the hair dye comes in.

You just get to a point where ya give up pulling them out, eh?

I've been grey since 19. Family blessing on my mom's side. My dad had jet black hair at 74 when he passed away.

:P Honestly, I don't get the fuss about getting grey and white hairs--maybe it's because I'm a youngun?

21. I found my first hair a week before I turned 30 and
man did I get depressed. I can laugh about it now but back then I was one step from suicide.

22. oh puleeze
Gray hair is sexy.

I've had it since I was 16, and at 44 am very salt and pepper, with interesting gray formations in my beard. I am constantly told that my hair is sexy!

25. started at 16
Got my first grey at 16, now am solid grey at 43. As someone said before at least you have hair. When I went to my last HS reunion, I may have been the greyest, but I also had the most hair coverage on my head. Bald or grey? I would take grey

27. You sound like me...
When I discovered my first one at age... lemme see... 42, I guess it was.

I must have at least 50 of them now, mostly around the sideburns, of course. Disturbing, needless to say, but enough to avoid accusations of dyeing.

Go ahead, hate me... :smoke:

30. Deal with it, Citizen. I'm 37 and have the 'salt and pepper' look
My family goes silver early. No biggie.
