Like my grandmother, I started getting grays around 25. For real. Unlike her, I color it every 6-8 weeks to hide them. She went naturally gray by the time she was 36 or so. Not for me.
35, and I haven't really seen them yet. I think I saw one shortly after B was born, and sometimes I wonder if what I'm seeing is gray or just really light blonde.
I'm naturally blonde, and usually add highlights or lowlights, so I think that disguises them if I do have them?

I probably noticed a stray or two by 32. I'm 35 now and it's still only a stray here and there. I dye my hair like once a year, but thats more because the ends get so bleached out and not so much for grey.
My sister has my moms hair and she went grey pretty early. She be very white now at 40 if she didn't dye. My mom finally gave up dying at like 65. Lucky for me, I have my dads hair.
I think 28. I highlight my hair so they blend with them.
Unfortunately my hair has gotten quite a bit darker since E so I have to highlight more. I told my stylist to be gentle when we have to do something more invasive for the grays.

I noticed first grays in my early 20s. I'm 33 now and don't dye my hair at all. I did dye just for fun in my mid 20s.
I pull out the grays that I see. I still just have a few at the crown, not fully gray or anywhere near that. I will start to color my hair if my grays get bad in the future.
I had my first one at 23. Stheyve been coming in hot and heavy since I turned 32. My stylist and I are beginning to discuss coloring. I can get away with it well enought right now, until I pull it up in a pointy tail. Then it's super obvious.
I'm 32 and blonde. Neither of my parents really greyed. They both just slowly went mousy. In their mid and late 60's, their hair doesn't look much different than it did when I was a kid.
Around 42. My younger sister has grays before I did.
I color, although now that I could have Mrs. Robinson skunk streaks I'm threatening to go natural. My eyebrows have been invisible for years and now I'm getting a couple white eyelashes.
I had my first around 26-27. I never died at all until my mid-30s. Now I am maybe 10-20% gray at almost 40. I don't keep on top of it. I tend to dye my hair pretty close to natural color.
I haven't yet (39) but I'm a redhead and we typically lose pigment and eventually go white instead of grey. Before you must be nice me I also started seeing a difference Botox could make on my crows feet at 26. And I have the metabolism of a 60 year old. #winsomelosesome
For those of you who dye your hair...does the dying change the texture of the greys over time? I don't care so much about the greys but their texture sucks. They just look different!!!
