scotfree Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 A barber once told me that if your grandfather on your mum's side had not gone bald nether will you. Not sure how much truth is in that... Mind you, my mum's dad had a full head of hair and so do I. I started going grey when I was in my early 20's and I'm 46 now and totally grey. It's more a silver grey, though. I have no problem with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from your Dad, from your paternal grandfather, or your maternal - personally, I think it's just the luck of the draw. Both my grandfathers were bald but my dad had a full head of hair until he died in his 80's and I'm not showing any indication of baldness yet (mid 50's). But as I said upthread, mine first started going grey when I was a teenager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieThomas Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Don't really give a toss if someone dyes their hair. You can f**k right off if you get all bent out of shape about your mates/family ripping the pish out of you for doing so, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claimed it was due to having to wear hats all the time. They were both at Gallipoli though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'WellDel Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Started greying when I was 19 , very much hereditary . My dad went grey fairly young , and my grandfather was totally white since I could ever remember . My brother also very similar to me , both now mid-forties and almost totally grey . Never , ever bothered me though , in fact , while I was still single and in my early 20's , it seemed to help tap into the market of pumping 30 something divorcees and single mothers you met at the dancin' . Think it had the effect of making you look a bit more mature or sensible than some of your other steaming , dark haired mates . I'm all for that tbh . Mon the grey guys . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the nickname was "pussycat." It's where the song "What Jew, pussycat? " came from.

It's more a silver grey, though. I have no problem with it. I wouldn't let a geneticist cut my hair and for the same reason I wouldn't let a barber try to teach me about gene science. I'm going to say his belief is an old wives tale/lot of shite. If it was true then all siblings would have the same head of hair, or lack of. I've got a younger brother who is bald whereas I've got a full head. As for the Gallipoli story I'd guess the hairloss is more likely to be stress related than wearing a hat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say mid-forties are you per chance referring to your year of birth.

ayrmad Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 52 with a slight amount of grey and a hairline and thickness most 25 year olds dream of, if I want to dye it I will, not for reasons of vanity, just because I can and I've never been a sheep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
