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.
