I've had more than a few white hairs on my dome for a few years now. I noticed probably 10-15 white hairs in my beard a few weeks ago. I'm 29. How old were you when you first noticed grey in your beard?

Ha, I'm 22, and I only just started growing more than one hair on my face at a time.

It was about the same age that I first noticed white in my beard.

I am now 39 and the white in my beard has not spread past my chin. I guess it is too busy finding new areas to grow on my head.

I'm 40 and my beard is about 90% white. It's gone crazy white over the past few years, but it started around 32 or so.

maybe 29 or so. at that point, I was more concerned with my receding hairline.

My grandfather (65) has barely any white/gray hairs on head, though his moustache is almost totally gray.

Luckily for me, the men and women in my family don't have hair loss problems.

I am a blondie (or was, it seems to be escaping daily) and have started turning white in the beard when I passed the 35 mark, but its less visible due to the blond hair.

Eh, I think this year is the first time I noticed some white hairs on the face. 37.

Have had grey in the hair (what's left of it...) since maybe 30.

noticed some grey on chin section around 38-39. grey on temples a couple years later.

once the grey gets in the beard i found the italo-3-day growth was no longer a good look. on the other hand, just saw a pix of the police from final concert - sting is doing the full beard (w/tons of grey) & it didn't look bad....

I started getting a tiny bit of gray in my hair about 18, and about a year ago started getting a little bit of gray in the facial hair.

Oh well. My buddy said that gray hair is teh sex, so I'll trust his judgement.

I'm not going gray, I'm going blonde. OK, OK, my beard has had gray in it for so long, I don't remember when it started. Seriously. it wasn't such a big deal at the time (late 20s-early 30s?).

I was somewhat annoyed when someone recently complimented me on the "highlight" in the front of my hair, though.

I'm 39. My facial hair still grows in all dark. Gray has been creeping in at the temples for years.
