Apart from Anderson Cooper, no.
It’s funny how grayness, when there is no hairloss, is never equated with a loss of attractiveness in a male.
Therefore Anderson Cooper is hailed as “sexy”, but if were the same age, with dark hair that was balding, he wouldn’t be considered the dashing “sex symbol” journalist.

You know, that is something I have noticed in some men, but not altogethor true in every man who gets pre-mature greying. The pre-mature greying from what I am told, is a genetic trait, just as MPB.
Two friends of mine began greying in their teens and now are completely white. They both still have a good head of hair, no MPB.
My ex-brother-in-law greyed in his teens but today is a Norwood 5 headed for 6. MPB is a genetic disposition so once it hits us, we will lose our hair even if we do grey early in life.
The only hint that could be brought in is:
Telogen effluvium is said to hit only pigmented hair. In other words, those very uncanny cases of “overnight greyings” are officially interpreted as a sudden shed of pigmented hair whereas white hairs are retained. One of the most famous reported cases is Queen Marie Antoinette on the night following her imprisonment. But I don’t know of an established connection with MPB.

That’s exactly what happened to my dad. It didn’t happen quite overnight, but over a period of about two or three weeks he lost all his black hair. His white hair was not affected. His dermatologist told him it was a case of alopecia totalis, and apparently my dad’s immune system attacked the melanin (the black pigment) of his hair.
After about six months some of his hair grew back - but white, not black.

I wouldnt say that men with grey hair arent as affected by mpb i think there are just as many men with grey hair that are balding as well.
I just sought of connected it to the Cotsarelis news.
I just think that when they have gone grey all over and they have no signs of hair loss they seem to keep more.

Actually, it’s very rare to see a man who has a full head of white hair. Personally, I like the look, but it may just be that most guys in that situation end up dyeing their hair.
