Not bad, actually.

Kinda bad actually LOL. I have light brown/dark blonde hair so when I first got a few grays, they blended in and almost looked like highlights. But the proportion of grays has gone up and the grays seem to have become a completely different texture, so now they look like highlights but stick out funny and are weirdly wiry so it always looks like my hair is unkempt....I've got a bit of a Christopher-Lloyd-in-Back-to-the-Future layer over my regular hair LOL. I'm hoping that once I'm fully gray I'll have the bouncy curly hair I always dreamed of (my hair has been the textbook definition of fine and limp for my whole life) but the transition is going to be rough! And with my luck, I'll just end up full-on Christopher Lloyd frizzy when I'm done. Ugh.

Hair quality is OK.

Quantity not so much.

Hair quality great! Just had it cut yesterday, and we added side bangs. Subtle change, but I wanted something just a little different.

very lush.

Speaking for my ears, nose and back only, of course.

Yes, what is the deal with gray hair being of a completely different texture than your original hair? My hair has always been completely straight except for 1-2 cowlicks. Like STRAIGHT as in won't even hold a curl. My gray hair is curly. I can't deal with it. I might actually have to STYLE it. It's so weird.

I wish the hair on the top of my head would just fall out.

Shaving it every few days in addition to shaving my face every day is not fun.

I don't know but when my hair started to fall out at 29 the texture of it changed completely.

Again, not fun.

Pro: Still blonde at 74!

Con: Not so plentiful on top anymore.

Thankfully it is most sparse in the back where I cannot see the part that is easily sunburned.
I never look at that and like most men I instinctively know to never turn sideways in front of a mirror.

I am in a somewhat similar situation, but perhaps more extreme than Steve. The topy of my head is essentially bald except for some isolated hairs scattered over that area. My beard is just the opposite - thick and bushy and by now almost completely white.

My head reminds me of a favorite roadside jingle from my youth:

Sounds like you are ready for a side hustle as a mall Santa Claus!

i have the opposite problem. i've always had very curly hair. the gray streak that came in is poker straight, and it's right over my right temple so pretty obvious. i just pin it back out of thhe way.

I miss it!

My head is still pretty thick, but I HATE HATE HATE ear hair. Disgusting.

I suppose it is a small price to pay for keeping most of it up top. Not a lot of gray either.
