i've been noticing an increase in the number of brothers in their mid 20's to 30's with gray hair. according to medical convention where're supposed to gray later than all other races due to having more melanin and pigment but it seems like the opposite is happening. it must be something or a lack of it in food or the environment.

Living in a first world country is very stressful. Family, friends, love life, academic pressure, stress at work, societal problems (police singling you out), etc. Unfortunately I have gray hair as well probably from years of chronic depression (I'm doing better now).

When I get more money I'm immediately moving to the Caribbean with the hotter girls and warmer climate.

Fukk that. At least the grays is an quick fix, no cheap solution for gettin your hair back. You worried about grays makin you look old but a bald head make you 20 yrs older.

C'mon son, either way you spraying some shyt in your head. People say I look 3-5 yrs older at the most since I cut my head bald.

Pretty much. I'm a few years away from having the Floki hairline.

I've got a couple and I've been getting them off and on in the same spot at the top of my head since I was like 17 or 18.

I'm almost to my mid-20s. I chalked them up to stress. My dad's going grey and balding and he's in his 40s. He corrects both of those when he can though.

Once I'm in my 30's I won't care about my hairline like that, but I ain't never worried about grays like I do sometimes bout bein bald. :yeshrug:
