Mine is thinning. Originally blonde, it has darkened to a nondescript mousey light brown often called 'russet'. My beard came in auburn.
My beard is now nearly white....I still have fading patches high on my cheekbones and remnants of color from the corners of my mouth which looks like nothing so much as nicotine stains. Soon that will be gone.
My hair grays only at the temples, but thins on the top. A new blood pressure medication may return some of the lost hairs, but it's still not a sure bet. Still, the peripheral follicles are still pumping out the keratin and it has now reached shoulder length. Again...and in semi-ringlets this time. My hair seems to be curling more as I age. I can now hair-whip with the best of them...with Miss Piggy. It's always kind of an amusing novelty to me, like my beard blowing in the wind. This means that I will probably soon go in for shearing, as it will start to annoy me.

I have only ever found a couple of grey hairs, which is good. My mum still has mostly dark hair at nearly seventy, though I think she uses a grey cover these days. My paternal grandma still had dark brown hair when she died in her mid eighties.

I started to let my hair grow out about 3 years ago after colouring it during my 50's. I like it now --it's a mix of light brown, grey and white. If I had known it would grow out this well, I would have done it long ago. I do look older now, but I AM 65!

The white sort of snuck up from behind and *wham* ... Really. Ten years ago, I had white whiskers peeking out from back behind all that auburn beard hair. Then, it was the 'cinnamon and sugar' look (no 'salt & pepper' for me, nossir), and now it is nearly all white. My head hair is still mostly indeterminate faded russet. Meh.

IT took my parents quite a while to gray, so I think I'm safe for a while longer. Not that I'd bother dying it if it did go gray...

My mother had her first gray hair at age 12 and a gray streak in her early 20s. Mine started in my late 20s, not very noticable, but at some time I started to worry people might comment and so I started dying it and have been doing it ever since. Not sure what it would look like now if I let it grow out, my mother had quite a lot of grey hair in her late 30s already. She is generally different from me, doesn't ever use any make-up, has had the same short hairstyle for decades and goes for comfortable mostly, which I don't mind on her, but I can't embrace the natural me that much.

My mum stopped dying her hair a year ago. Her grey hair looks quite good on her.

I think at a certain age it does, but not in my early 30s. My grandmother died her hair until she was in her 70s.

Well, I'm hurtling towards my mid-sixties, so none of the changes are particularly untimely or shocking, just worthy enough of passing mention.
I've been a greybeard for a decade. I'm now approaching a fullwhite beard.

My grandpa was full white at age 21. None of us seem to have inherited either the early going gray or the going white instead of gray.

True, but it was a gorgeous full kind of white, not that thin yellowish white you sometimes see.

I am monochrome. My hair and beard are both black and white. This is my beard. The back of my head is the same.

Col is greying quite rapidly but I like it on him For some reason it looks a lot less aging on men than women. What is wrong with being called Patches Steve? It's cute

They're generic names, not pet names. That's fine by me if that's what you want. I guess 'panda' would be OK, that's generic.

I have a few white hairs, these days. Not many. I don't get my hair fully dyed, but I do usually get a few highlights so I figure the white hairs just add another dimension to the colour.

What sort of red? Your hair seems reddish in some pics I recal.

Well, there's 'red' and there's 'RED'.
I had lunch in a restaurant a couple of days back and there was a gent my age with screamingly RED hair. It was obviously dyed and I thought it looked silly.
