Do you have any grey hairs? And if you do, do you do anything about them?
I do get a few. My sister has been getting some since high school. I guess I'm doing ok because my mom went grey in her 20's. I'm 33. I don't think they are too noticiable but sometimes I pull them out and every few months I will dye my hair but I've been lazy abut it lately.
I'm lucky that my hair is curly, so it's harder to notice the greys. I do get more and more by the year. When I find them, I name them after my students
Yes, yes I have grey hairs. They are the ones that pop out in the part in my hair all wiry and crazy. They are also in my longer hair but I dont see those.. I don't color my hair really, I've used the wash out ones only a few times.
I have a random white eyebrow hair. I don't have any grays up top, but I dye my hair anyway, so I assume that's what I would keep doing if I found any.
My mom went grey in her twenties too. I started getting them in my early thirties, and now I have a good collection around my temples. Last year I decided they were bad enough for me to start dying them. But I just get highlights, which really just masks them, but anyway, I no longer look like I have grey hair. But I don't want to do it during first tri, so right now I have a wacky mix of light hair, dark roots, and grey temples. So stylish!

I have 4 gray hairs in one spot that have been there for years. I pluck them out. I don't color my hair but I guess I'll start when I get noticeably gray.

I'm (almost) 31 and am shocked that I don't. I dyed my hair forever then finally stopped when I got too busy with the kids and was terrified what I would find. I was surprised! I have NO idea when my mom, grandma, or sisters (if they do) got gray hairs because they all dye religiously. DH is 32 and he's been getting them since probably 28ish? He's seriously in denial that he has gray hairs and there are quite a bit!
I have probably 40% gray, and I color my hair about every 4 weeks. For some reason my hair doesn't hold color as well since I got pg with E.
My hair changed after pregnancy too, and not for the better. The texture is different.
Oh my goodness, my hair is soooo gross now. It's curly and used to be frizzy, but kind of that too soft that it didn't hold the curl and frizzed instead if that makes sense. Now it's just coarse and nappy and gross. It seriously starts like matting together on day 2. I'm ready to buzz it and hope it comes back better.

Yes a few randoms. I dye my hair sporadically to even out the color but I'm not busting with greys if its been awhile. DH will be 40 next year and has some noticeable greys which have increased exponentially since the girls were born.

Yes, same here - DH has tons from the kids LOL. Possibly a few are work-related
I wouldn't know if I have any greys, I colour my hair. Ignorance is bliss.

My gray hairs are of the wiry, crazy cat lady ilk, so I think dying them would do a whole lot of nothing since the texture is so fucked up. Also, they aren't gray, they're white.
Both DH and the dog have also gotten a lot more gray hair since the kids were born.

I got my first at 16. Stress related. I would occasionally get one when I was super stressed after that.
Then, pregnancy. I get them regularly with each pregnancy. I pluck them out. After M was an outside baby, they stopped so I'm hoping they will again this time.
No greys here yet, but when they come I'm just going to let them. My ex-boss started dyeing when she got greys and now when her roots come in you can see that a large percentage is grey but she doesn't know how to stop dyeing because it will look crazy to grow out.
I started getting a few grays in my late 20's. Within a few years it was more than I could just pluck and I started dying my hair. I like the color out of the box better anyway so I keep it up. My hair is definitely different now, it's more wavy and a bit courser.
Yea. I noticed the first one towards the end of pregnancy and they have multiplied. I also developed a patch of hair towards the back of my crown that is an entirely different texture. It looks like I crimped it with a crimping iron.
I found my first grey hair at 18. I'd say I'm ~15% grey, but I dye my hair. I didn't color my hair when I was pg with Theo, but I'm planning on dyeing when I'm pg with #2. I just feel better about myself without greys.
I'm 37 and have been getting white hair since mid twenties, right after I met DH. I don't do anything about them. I don't care much. My mom went white early. She was completely white by 50. She dyed it until she was 60. For some reason, she is very proud that it was white, as opposed to gray. She's a little goofy.
I have quite a few strands of gray around the front of my hair. I'm kind of a weirdo in that I hope to be able to wear a short, salt and pepper hairstyle in about 10 years.
