Current Events > Do you have a bigger problem with greying hair or balding?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Premature greying runs in my family. The trade off is thick hair and no baldness.

I'll take it.

Greying eventually

I'm probably bald as hell given my genetics, but I keep my head shaved, and have since I was 20. Arachnophobia spoilers:

A wolf spider with babies fell on my head while I was mowing and I kinda never got over that horrible feeling tbh. Creepiest shit I ever felt.

My hair has pretty much skipped gray and is going straight white - it's still full as hell though so I don't mind

Por que no los dos?

Because I have los dos.

I think once you're in your 30s/40s, greying is normal. If you're greying in your teens or early 20s, then I would see that as a problem.

Been going grey since I was 16. Thankfully no issues with thinning or balding.

balding for sure. i wouldn't be able to offset it with a beard like dudes normally do, cuz i can't grow one.

i think i'll look pretty cool when my hair is all grey, provided my hair volume isn't too diminished (no signs yet at 38).

Turning 45 this year, and been greying since about 30. I don't consider it a problem, though.

Hair loss has never been in my bloodline, so I think I'm safe in that regard.

Nobody in our family has issues with balding, but premature greying is. I found my first grey hair when I was just 32 (I'm 47 now and my hair is completely grey).

Neither. My mom only had gray streaks in her hair when she died at 81. Her hair was still like 85% brown.

I'm 41 and still haven't seen a single gray.

Neither.

i went grey in my 20s but i dye it
i take dutasteride
so neither

My beard is grey as hell, but it is no problem.

Losing a bit of hair every day from the sides

I get grey strands occasionally but only a few at a time so not a big deal. I've always had at least 1 grey strand since I was a pre teen. Might be due to stress.

I think my hair has thinned a bit since I was a teen so I got on finasteride like 3 years ago.

Not really sure if I was balding balding tho cuz none of my living relatives seem to have a problem with that. That said my paternal grandpa died sorta young and idr his hair situation. My dad has full set of hair tho. My maternal grandpa is 80ish years old w/ full black hair and it looked pretty full last time i saw him on video chat but ive only seen the front and bit of the side .

My parents laughed when they found out I was using fin since they didn't think I needed it but i can never be too sure imo. Plus the drug lowers my libido which is a fantastic side effect imo. I feel like a different person from 3 years ago in a positive way

The gray just makes me hotter tbh

Balding but moreso just thinning out. Im not sure how the genetics work out but I share alot of traits with my mom and the men on her side of the family have the cul de sac hairline. But I seem to be going with the men on my dads side and am trending towards thin hair. Im only 40 and still have my color though

Im destined to have a receding hairline and widows peak a la Grandpa Munster

I had a ton of time off over Christmas so I grew my beard out and was absolutely floored at how much grey was in it. Im an attorney so I keep it scruffy at most and I cant really see the grey in the scruff but when it grew out it made me a little sad

I noticed my first beard gray around later 34 or early 35.

At 39 they still aren't particularly prominent but they're multiplying. Fair chance I may die with a head of black hair though, as my dad and his dad both did.

I'm 37, where's the option for both?

You can literally fix graying hair relatively cheap.

Balding isn't a quick, cheap and easy fix.

yes it is
tbh if i were to compare the cost of keeping my grays hidden vs. hairloss treatments, hairloss treatments would be cheaper and involve less effort
i pay $17/mo using goodrx card for a once a day pill
my hairline hasnt moved in 15 yrs

I've had salt & pepper hair since age 6 or 7.

I'm 42 now and still have a full head of hair so no balding problems yet. It has thinned some.

Im albino so I wont go gray apparently, but I started balding a couple years ago, and have been using Keeps to try and fight it, which is working decently.

Neither.

People worrying about their hair turning grey, and I'm out here trying to bleach my hair white, lol

41 this year, I've got a couple of gray hairs mostly in my beard.

I'm not super stoked about my hair going white (it used to be this beautiful mahogany blonde) but hey, J Mascis makes it work

Balding, but I've been fighting it successfully with finasteride and minoxidil.

what are those?..

The hair around my temples is going gray. Its beginning to recede a little too, but in the same way as my dad so Ill probably have another decade or so before I need to worry about that

Generic for Propecia and Rogaine. I do the same, an oral pill I take every morning and a topical foam I use twice a day. I get them from Keeps.

I've been bald for like 6 years now and I love it. Graying hairs would probably make my beard look better, so neither.

Hair growth chemicals/hormones. I always thought it was quack shit growing up but I dunno

They arent miracles, but Ive seen some restoration. The more important thing is that I havent lost anymore since I started using them. Thats why the service is called Keeps.

That's pretty much what I was thinking in that regard - like those hair club ads were a bit exaggerated but the treatments can help so long as you haven't been balding since you hit puberty (I knew a few guys)

Greying, but baldness runs in the family, so...
