This has set me wondering. Now, this is a bit of a "delicate" question but, none the less, one I must ask.

I have said before, in this forum, that I went grey-haired very early. I was grey by the age of 30, though I dyed my hair until I was 60, and it's an hereditary thing; my dad was grey by the age of 25. The question is, when does the rest of your hair go grey? I mean, to be on the safe side of indelicate, my eyebrows are still very dark brown (my hair wasn't that dark, more of a chestnut brown) and, well you know, other hair is sort of light brown. Of course I shave it so you wouldn't know but it's true. Yes, I shave my legs OK?

My late husband had very dark hair all his life but his beard went grey in his late 40s. He was quite a hairy bloke but all the body hair was dark brown, it was just the beard.

So, when does it happen - anybody know? Will my eyebrows eventually go as grey as my head hair and will my leg hairs match? Will I be too old to give a damn?
