Poll question: Are you old enough
to pluck out gray hairs from your otherwise normal-colored scalp/beard?

2. Yep.

5. I started getting gray hairs when I was 19!
... and that was a LONG time ago.

24. Mine started at seventeen
I lucked out. Mine is the shiny silver kind, and it looks like I had a really expensive streak job done on my used-to-be-all-dark-brown hair.

A gay friend of mine took me to his hair color stylist guy and said, "Make mine look like hers." I found that an ultimate compliment.

8. If I plucked them all I'd be cue ball bald.

9. I've had a tiny streak of snow-white hair in my beard since ... well, since ever, actually.
There's a scar under my chin in that area, and my guess is that has something to do with it. :shrug:

Anyway, other than that, no gray hairs.

14. Too much of my hair falls out on its own. I don't pluck anything off the top of my head.

15. Old enough, but not stupid enough
That's why the gods invented Clairol. Truthfully, I'm going gray in streaks, which looks pretty cool IMHO. If I plucked them out I'd be left with a bunch of bald patches: I prefer the gray to that.

16. I started going gray at 19
No big deal. At least I have something up top, unlike some of my cousins, who either have a Dom Deluise look or a cheesy weave.

17. Round here we call it platinum blonde.
Well I am blonde :)

To tell the truth I haven't seen any grey hairs on me yet. Though my son should have given me a few by now. My wife does complain about them, but then her hair is a darker brown and they're more noticeable in dark brown compared to medium to light blonde.

Mark.

18. I'm barely starting to get gray...only a few here and there
but plucking them out doesn't seem to work, as they only come back twice as fast, and greater in numbers!

19. My hair is transparent, like flexible strands of plexi-glass and when...
I become sexually aroused the ends light up in a million vibrant colors like fiber-optics.

Chicks dig this.

Needless to say I do not "pluck" my hair. Ever.

21. Not really the right poll answer for me - I'm 56 and no gray
Even though my little sister has been gray for several years.

28. I've seen one gray hair on my head.
I think it fell out because I haven't seen it in a while and I didn't pull it.
