How did u feel? Ive yet to get one but i anticipate feeling a sense of achievement when i do. Not many people today make it pass 21 let alone to see their first gray hair so i wouldnt see it as a disappointment but as a badge of honor.
So Lets talk bout it.. (No American Loo)

I think i was 21?.. ? , I thought it was dope.

I had a small strand of white hair in the back of my head when I was about 25, then when I was 29, I noticed some in my beard/goatee. Gotten a few more as the years went on
-
all black here...no Beijing

I've noticed several popping up in my goatee over the past few years.
It doesn't bother me though I don't plan to try to cover them up with that Just For Men over the counter product or any of that kind of stuff.
I've been told that men that keep themselves well groomed, in decent shape, and can dress a little still look good aged. I'll hang my hat on that and keep it moving. -
Think I was like 32. Didn't feel any kind of way cause my best friend(same age) has a head full of gray lol. I got like 4 or 5 now but eh it is what it is. No ? , I'll pluck them ? with the quickness lol
Sidenote: I noticed they started poppin up more often when I started workin 2 jobs. I know most say it's a genetic thing but I think there's other factors to it as well. -
old ass , stress ass ?

25 and around that time my 18-19 yr old smoking buddies had them too I only had one strand though they had them all over their head. what kind of life were they living and how did they spend their nights?

Stress and exhaustion are strong factors -

yeah staying up late not getting enough rest will age you fast. I read an online article it said black men don't start graying until their mid forties. I wish I knew that back then. its okay though when I cut my hair down to a low fade you cant see the gray. -
13...
..i think they are seasonal...cuz they would appear then disappear -
I think I was 32 maybe 33. I knew it was coming because we get grey early on both sides of my family. From what I remember, my mom said she started getting grey hairs in undergrad, when she was 17!
My dad started in his 30's. He let it go until my mom's great aunt met him for the first time and said it didn't look "right" for a young man to have all that grey and he needs to dye it, lol. He was 35-36 at the time and started dying it ever since then.
I used to come home on Saturdays and find my dad with his head in the sink, a towel on his shoulders while my mom rinsed out the excess dye. I'd give him a hard time and he'd always say "your time is coming, enjoy it while you can, you'll be doing the same thing" and he was right lol... -
Just last year, I was 29 when I first spotted it in my goatee
-
Damn near over the hill and I still dont have one. I thought I had one but it was the light reflection.
-
22 or 23
Now i got about 15 of them up top
-
I had a cluster of a few in my goatee probably around 23/24...but you could only notice 'em when the sun hit just right. Rockin a full beard for the moment and got like 2 on the right side of my face and 1 on the left...and my Wisdom Cluster is still in the front.
I ain't never felt no kinda way about it. ? is what it is. *Wiz shrug* -
19-20.

Lol the wade block was before the wade dunk -
23 years old
-
ive yet to get any

just got them my beard and they more white than grey looks dope to me. still got a full head of jet black hair
-
I think I was around 27. It was on my head. I was worried that I might get start looking old while still young.
Today (more than 10 years later) though, I still have just one or two in my head. My beard, on the other hand, is about a quarter grey. Didn't expect this ? at all. But I think I'd prefer a black head of hair and grey beard than vice versa.
Gonna ? around and end up with the Stephen Colbert look.

First one at 24, maybe 23. 29 now and I got a bunch of them in my beard but none up top. I consider it lucky that I lasted that long tho cause my moms said that my grandad started graying (up top) in his teens and so did his dad. She said early graying runs in the family.
