A member asked:
My parents had very few gray hairs until their 80s. i am getting some in my 60s. did i get bad genes or live too hard?

It sounds like: You got lucky with longevity genes, but hair color, and tendency to grey or silver at any age does not seem to be predictable in an individual. In scrutinizing presidential photos, the enormity, stress and pressure seem to induce graying. Not sure of the science.
