White snow red as strawberries

This morning: my first white beard hair.

I hesitated, unsure whether or not to attack it with the trimmer, before deciding to let it be. While it looks a little lonely there, all on its own, I'm in no way opposed to white hair, facial or otherwise. Quite the opposite, in fact: I really like premature grey on a man, and have a particular penchant for salt & pepper. Thing is, I'm reasonably fair haired(ish) and my beard tends toward the ginger, particularly in sunlight.

Salt & paprika?

  2. None on my chin, fortunately, but on my head for a year and a half now. Not that anyone notices them but me (admittedly this is in part because for the first months I fanatically pulled out any white hairs I found...)

    I found their colour the most amazing thing. They look white, not grey...

  4. Grey hairs are great - let them be!

    I've got my fingers crossed that I take after my dad, and have proper white hair by the time I'm 40.
