I’m hoping I make it to gray. I’m 27 and have noticed my hairline is slowly receding. Luckily no thinning elsewhere. The only bald guy in my family history is my dad’s dad. 

I’m not very sciency but I thought baldness came from your mother’s Dad?

That's correct, to my knowlege. That's why I mentioned it. There's now two people in this thread who don't follow that, though.

Well I'm a 32 year old woman, but no gray for me yet. Not that I'd notice...I have blonde hair to begin with and have not seen my natural color in...about 20 years. I did dye it purple-y gray on purpose a couple times.

My husband is 31 and has no gray, either. He's also blond and has a pretty fantastic head of hair. I'd be surprised if he goes bald. 

I do find dudes with salt and pepper hair very attractive. Or maybe it's just Kevin Love.

My maternal grandfather died with a full head of thick hair.  My fraternal grandfather is still living with a full head of white hair so thick he still combs it straight back.  He has more hair on his head than my Dad and brothers combined.  Its just where you fall in the gene pool.

I'm 44 and my temples are mostly grey. Like a few others i don't care what color it turns so long as it doesn't fall out. I shaved my head once in college on a dare and my head is lumpy and weird looking without hair.

I'm 68 full head of hair, wife calls it  more salt and pepper now. I think the wife found my first gray hair at the age of 45 or around that age...

This is me too. Except I’m 28 and I’m not aware of any genetic baldness.

I am probably 50/50 now.....so much gray.  Honestly, it really doesn't bother me.

I'm at about 10 percent gray. I'll be 33 on the 20th.

30 years old, still full head of hair with no gray. 

My beard has a tiny bit of gray when I haven't shaved for like a week.

Don't worry about it. It's everyone else's problem.
