What age did you start going gray?

was it stress from the job, genetics, or both? I've got some translucent whites growing on my head and I've got mixed feelings about it.

Right there with you. Still mostly dark, but it's growing more grey every year.

My head hair is fine but my beard is getting gray. I use Just for Men beard wash and it works really, really well. Knocks off 5 years tbh. It's crazy easy to use, too--just wash it in like a shampoo and wait in the shower for 2 minutes. Wash it out. Boom. In 3-4 days you'll have your youth back.

My hair is dark brown and copper (more noticeable on my facial hair), so it hides the grey well. Just a few hairs here and there, started at 21ish.

Stress doesn't speed up the process (to someone above)? I have to look more into that. Interesting.

Late 20s I started getting a few straggler gray/whites. Mid thirties now I have many more, especially in the facial hair. But as said above, it helps me look older, but not too old, when dealing with much older clientele. The grays make me look 5-7 years older than I am and when I shave I look 5-7 years younger than I am.

I am told men look good with grays/whites; they look distinguished, etc. They age better. Women with gray hair look horrible and old.
