Embrace it. When I started getting greys, I thought I was going to have a more difficult time getting the attention I wanted. If anything, it’s been the opposite. Good luck out there.

Standing around the smoke hole at work when I was 28; One of girls, “Hold still.” YOINK Handed me a long white hair, I just stared at it in shock.
JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 4 months ago
bruh gray hair is sexy the fuck you on about?
Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Unironically, I get this a lot.
Ghis@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Must be nice lmfao, no one ever compliments me. You gotta be a really good looking dude to get one.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 months ago
just wait. you’ll keep checking for new ones and one day you just stop looking because it starts to not bother you so much.
then one day, a few years later, you look the mirror on your way out for work or whatever and you see it.
you see all the greys. peppered all over your “youthful” appearance. and then…you look closer…are those spots on my face-- holy shit and my hands! “when did I get so old” you’ll ask yourself.
when indeed.
welcome to club, fucker. we meet at the cheapest diner in town for unlimited coffee every day at 7am until 6pm.

BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
One thing I wish someone would have talked at me about more often in relation to getting older… You already have problems you’re probably not paying enough attention to that you should look at now.
Does your neck always hurt in a weird way when you get up? Mole that you were looking at one day and it doesn’t look quite right? Maybe you just started feeling a weird feeling in some part of your body and it never got worse so you just got used to ignoring it?
You’re getting to the point where those tend to start escalating. Take inventory and get them checked out.

In case anyone needs to hear this — when blood and mucus start coming out your butt, you need to go to the gastroenterologist. Don’t believe your primary care physician who says it’s probably IBS and therefore untreatable and not worth worrying about. It was ulcerative colitis for me, and they have treatments that let you live your life without being tethered to the bathroom.
jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 4 months ago
You getting discount medical care with that primary care physician??
Glad to hear something helped!

You're never too young to dye.
In fact, fuck societal norms, go crazy, try some funky colours! Do a half-length bleach to platinum blonde, add a green or turquoise strip, do frosted tips but instead of keeping them blonde, dye em copper red... The world's your oyster.
Or just keep the gray patches, chicks dig it.

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Found my first grey hair when I was 16. Since then, multiple GFs have found the occasional grey hair. I’m 45, and weirdly my hair keeps getting darker. Used to be a platinum blonde, turned sandy blonde, and now it would be called brown…
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Hair darkens with age in most people, no?

How do you not have crows feet - Christ your skin is smooth - I would take grey over looking like Ed Harris’s ball sack (like I do)
Ghis@lemmy.world 4 months ago
My main tip is to never see the Sun
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 4 months ago
I believe it’s the sun and good genetics. I’ve got decent genetics (I think?) but I worked outside all of my 20s and 30s. I used sunscreen religiously but squinting (due to sun) and the like also plays a role. It’s hard to remember to reapply in the middle of a 12 hr day, when there’s work that needs to be done.
I’m exaggerating how wrinkled I am, but I definitely got crows feet and forehead wrinkles.
sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Good lord. You have a full head of hair. Literally shut up.
Schmoo@slrpnk.net 4 months ago
Losing mine at 26. Yay!
Ghis@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah I got lucky there. My dad has a full head and my grandfather on my mom’s side did too.
I still stress over losing it though, much more than being gray (fiancee wants it).
I can’t pull off the bald look like a lot of guys can, so I’m getting plugs if it comes to it. I still got time to lose it all 😂
toynbee@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’ve always heard that baldness primarily comes from the mother.
unknown@piefed.social 4 months ago
At least your greys are in a respectable place, mine have started coming in in my left eyebrow and so far, nowhere else. I’d love some dashing streaks of grey at my hairline or temples, no one mistakes that for lint or a cobweb.
Ghis@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I got em coming in everywhere, and don’t worry I’m sure I’ll look like Jim Carrey in A Series of Unfortunate Events soon. My ears and nose hairs are out of control after a day or two.
I’m sure you’re dashing, my man. We’re our own worst critics, and I’m no exception.

Full head of hair, started getting greys when i was around 20.

I am 23 and apparently have some gray hairs next to my ears. Dont know why
Ghis@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I get these long white hairs that my family would call “cat whiskers”. I have two on my forehead and they can grow to be like 2 inches, it’s pretty nuts. Terminal Hair, I think? My fiancee has them too.
Could it be that?
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I doubt it. I have never seen these hairs but other people have pointed them out several times.
CyberTaco@lemmy.world 4 months ago
You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old. Stay in touch with younger people, and don’t be afraid to make friends with younger people (within reason - stick to 20 or older). Don’t make fun of current slang, you had yours at that age too. Learn it even if you don’t use it yourself. Don’t fall into the trap of “the only good music was my generation’s”, always look for new music to like, even if it’s individual songs instead of whole artists.
Keep taking care of your appearance. Even if you go full gray in the future, if you make a point to look at least good, you’re ahead of a lot of people of all ages.
And remember - gray hair isn’t an embarrassment, every single one is a testament that no one and nothing in life has been able to kill you yet. The more you have, the more it testifies that you are hard to kill. 😁
