Grey hairs appeared in my beard at 35! ☹
Found a couple in my hair last year, they seem to have invited their friends over this year ☹

Same, 35 this year and the beard has got a few.

A family friend was completely grey at 16 years of age !

I'm 34 and I'm getting them too. But hell, I don't care what colour they are as long as they're still on my head.

Whippersnappers!

Embrace it. It's great getting older. You don't have to worry about being cool and rubbish like that. You can wear crocs, listen to Abba...

You okes still have it good. Started losing mine in my late 20's... Now I go the clipper route and keep the remaining few short. My soon to be father in-law dyes his hair... the dudes in his fifties. Major fail! Especially just after he comes from the salon and it has this reddish glow....

It could also just be an iron defficency but I agree with Bob, look at Paco de Lucia, he is at his best and suave and cool after 60.

Don't let media stereotypes worry you. Industry can be a heinous bitch....ahem ok sorry...to conclude: Go grey, go crocks, go glasses, go walking ring screw what others think.

Thankfully not losing my hair yet so its all good... Rug wearing is a concept that i seriously wish don't come my way.

At the young age of 28 I have a few grays. At least more that 20 that last time my wife did the gray hair count ?

Conrad

I have had one already but it didn't bother me too much. I just started planning "Conrad's Geriatric Flamenco Duet" and then the madness went away.

Seriously Stratisfear where are you getting this funny stuff! Is a dead comic feeding you information? I've changed my mind. The trololo guy is not my latest crush - it's definitely the redhead. He is unbearably suave!

Don't forget hair growing out of the ears.

There's so much to look forward to.

Nostrils - check
Ears - check
Grey beard - salt and pepper all the way... to be fair it came on after a particularly stressful period in early thirties... wonder if there's any truth in the grey overnight tales?

Yeah my mom used to tell me people that went grey overnight through shock and fear. Being an inquisitive child I would ask her so what happened to all the the pigment in their hair did in all spill out on the floor in a big puddle of brown, yellow or black or did it get sucked back into their head. To which my mom would chase me round the garden with a broom.

Yeah... so my poor buddy has had grey for more than 15 years or so, still young.

And the one on my moms side... her aunts husband died in the hospital while she was next to him... instant makeover for her
