    I don’t have much grey, and can’t say if it’s stress related, but anecdotally, one of my best friends ended up having a young child in the ER that had to be transferred out and admitted before they found out she was diabetic, and now they have to manage her insulin daily to, you know, keep her alive. She had dark black hair and was in her 30’s and at least half went grey from that experience

    Nope not here. At 44 with lots a of stress I have some greys in my beard, but the hair top is still present and it’s original colour.

    Early 40s and stress has absolutely grayed my hair. Or, bleached it, rather, since I’m a redhead. Mostly my beard and chest hair, strangely enough.

    The hair on my head has a sprinkling of white but mostly kept its color. My beard looks blond now, as there’s more white hair in it than red. My chest hair just looks thinner than it actually is because all the white hair disappears against my pasty-ass skin. 🤣

    The graying/whitening started in my late 20s / early 30s during a very high stress time, and seems to have slowed or stopped mostly in the last few years.

    Funny thing, graying doesn’t happen evenly. At one point in my mid-30s I had a full beard; one side of my face was red hair, the other side was all white. Thankfully that’s rectified itself in the intervening years.
