For those that have wondered about it.

I figured it's more DNA.

Teenagers, my hair was quite dark before we raised two kids. LOL

Yeah....

Girls in some respects and boys for other reasons.

I started going bald in my mid 20's. I'm 61 now and have maybe 1/2 left-no grey hair. My beard has gray and white but only a little- genes I suppose.

I can say I have far less gray hair that I have had of my original colored hair.

Mine never did turn gray, it just turned loose😂

My hair is just gone. In my thirties it was a problem. Now pushing 60 I’m pretty happy with it. No barber, no hairbrush, just a razor in the shower every week or so and electric clippers on my beard. Now if I could just find some red suspenders I can move over to the airhead forums.

Red suspenders are hard to find, I have been on the lookout for years
Of course the Italian colours would be ok too.

Reminds me of an earlier girlfriend. She had lovely auburn hair that flowed down past her shoulders, and none on her head. She also had one large breast in the small of her back.
She wasn't much to look at, but sure fun to dance with...

My hair turned from blond to brown then it turned very dark brown, then it turned light brown and grey. I don't care what it turns as long as it don't turn loose. Oops- too late, its happening now.
My beard is as white as my 87 year old dads' and has been for over ten years.

I had a navy buddy who had a small patch of hair on the back of his head that would turn white overnight when we were on patrol. He would get stressed and bam- white. It would go away when the the stress was off. We would watch for it and when it turned white we knew we could relax because he was carrying the load.

I always take off my helmet when talking to a cop. I’d like to believe that it’s gotten me out of at least one speeding ticket.

Genetics my son...it's all GENETICS!!

I have been totally GREY since around age 30. My dildo work colleagues, at several companies, used to leave a bottle of "Grecian Formula" on my desk at work as a joke.

The reality is...all those guys that teased me thirty (30) years ago are now ALL BALD...and ol' JJ's hair...at 66...still grows like a week...even though it's GRAY!!

NOTE: My dad had a full head of hair at 93 when he passed away...My mother as well at 92...Good Italian genes...

In my time, I have sold high-end semiconductor processing equipment, market research, compound semiconductor substrates, rare earth minerals and related consumables...but I have NEVER sold used cars!

Also, in my lifetime, if I had a dollar for every Mafia joke / Italian slur that was told to me by some ignorant A-hole...I'd be a very rich man!

Me too, although it hasn't worked so far.

I think it does make for a more amenable discussion though.
