    I went silver a long time ago and have no plans to dye my hair.

    I started "growing tinsel" when I was 21. Far more salt than pepper now, but still have all of it at 55. In contrast to my son, who shaves what little hair he has left - takes after his maternal grandfather who was completely bald before I met him.

    The balding gene does come from the Mother's side of the family. 
    About 1/2 of my Mother's brother have hair and all of my Dad's side does so we will have to see what my 2 son's end up with.

    "The genetics of hair loss are not straightforward; it’s not just about inheriting a “bald gene” from your mother or father. Instead, multiple genes contribute to the likelihood of experiencing hair loss. These genes can come from both maternal and paternal sides, debunking the myth that baldness is inherited solely from the mother’s side.

    Hair loss is often an inherited trait passed down on either or both sides of the family.

    Well, my hair is not as thick as it was back in the day, but it still covers my scalp. :)

    I dye my hair. I would leave if it was just all go grey but it isn't.  I noticed my first grey hair at 13 yrs old. 

    My husband has all white hair and beard. Though his head is getting thin.

    Which side of the family does a thin head come from?

    Same genes. No one just wakes up and they are bald.

    I earned my gray hair. It's mostly just one silver streak in otherwise brown hair, but I'm working on increasing it.

    Much of it from dealing with a certain person from SOCAL, I'm sure.
