Not that he can't be dying it, but do you think everyone is shot through with grey the moment they hit 60? All the women in my family line don't start going grey until well into their 70's, and even my nan at 81 still had most of her black hair. Another woman I worked with was 65 and barely had any grey hair at all and she didn't dye it. While my current manager is 55 and is completely white.

Genetics are weird man.

Do you think your family was just all dying their hair and you didn't know? That was one of my aunts. I thought I'd luck out and follow her genetics and when I started going gray early (30s) and mentioned it to her she laughed and said she's been dying her hair since her 20s.

But yeah, genetics are weird. I have an uncle that was completely white by 22 and then his sister didn't start graying until her 50s. I'm in my early 40s and have more gray and white hair than when my mom died in her late 60s!

That's possible, but you must know that your family isn't necessarily representative of the general population. Most people have at least visible strands by the time they're in their forties. Cruise is 62 years old.

nayrt - there are just some people that will always reply with a "that's not necessarily true" type of comment.

Yeah. And I wouldn't mind that at all if they were pointing out something that was common enough that OP's original remarks about ageing and gray hair weren't as true as they were arguing. But OP never claimed that everyone hit age 60 and went gray overnight, and people who don't go gray until they're in their 70s are obviously outliers. It's so weird to me that anyone would look at a secret suggesting that a 62 year old man is probably covering up his gray hair with a (cheap looking) dye job and go *waves a pedantic finger* "Ah ah ah!!!! MY family had no gray hair until well past his age, so there!" is just... peculiar. Like okay, if you think that's a good counterargument.

My dad's in his late 60s and he doesn't have a speck of grey in his hair. And I'm sure he's not dyeing it because my mom has gone salt and pepper and does lowlights and she would absolutely tattle on him if he were dyeing too, it aggravates her immensely that he doesn't need to, lol.

That said, this looks a lot flatter than my dad's hair color, so probably it is dyed.

I started getting grey hair at 15.

Yeah, my mother is 78 and only about half grey. I got grey hair at my temples at about 35 and no more since. Then again, my grandmother had bright red hair, and as she aged it just got paler and paler until it was a very pale kind of peach colour. It was very pretty!
