Was silver hair common among the Teleri? at least it is noted as seemingly not common among the Sindar, though found among them occasionally:
'... especially in the nearer or remoter kin of Elwe (as in the case of Cirdan)'. (JRRT, Quendi And Eldar). The line in
The Lord of the Rings reads...
'... and his beard was long, and he was grey and old, save that his eyes were keen as stars...'
My original (now deleted) post raised the 'technicality' that the line doesn't actually state that Cirdan
looked old, but that he
was old and grey... but yes I know how weak this is, and agree the implication of the whole sentence is that he looked old.
Reconsidering this, I deleted a post that basically said little or nothing, like this one
