How old were you when you started getting gray hairs?

I found my first ones in high school. My hair is really dark and I'm in denial that I need to start dyeing my hair on a consistent basis. In the past I've just done a glaze for important events. My grandma was completely gray by 20.

My grandma was this way too..I'm guessing not a lot of hope for me.

That's where I'm at. My hairdresser for my wedding started tugging at my hair when the up-do was finished - she was pulling out the grays that resisted the glaze the day before.

Most of mine are around my temples, so usually don't show too badly. That's what I like to tell myself, at least. I just can't handle the maintenance of color right now.

I found my first at 24. Now I probably have 5 or so that I pluck out when I notice them. I'm 29.

Mine are right at the front of my head and kind of stick up. Eff!!

I was 10. No, not joking.

They are mostly right in front, but occasionally I find them scattered throughout my head. If I part my hair the right way, the ones in front are not noticeable.

[iamgrace]

None yet. I'm 38.

[ladyk]

On my head? None so far. Um, down below? Last year at 35. Not that I look down there that often now but they seemed to have multiplied. F*ckers...

 I'm sorry. I know it's so hard to look in the mirror and see them. 

[ImHungry]

I'm 30 and don't have any gray. My H is 30 and has some.

It's a braigplaint, just never thought I'd have to worry about it so young!

28

High school 

[underwaterrhymes]

Probably 23 or 24? Just a few at first.

I'm 38 now so they've had time to be fruitful and multiply.

[disappointedkittens]

Early 20's. I have dark hair so they were very noticeable to me, and I used to pull out every one that I found. I'm 30 now and I have a patch with a lot of them, so now I dye my hair

Ugh, in high school. No joke.

Me too. And now, they don't even phase me because I've had them so long.

I have never had one. My mother nor my grandmother have grays either. Fingers crossed!

Wtf kind of voodoo magic is this?

Unfair!!

But I have baby fine, stick straight hair...I think your daughter probably has more hair than me!

[christy082]

I'm 30 and don't have any yet. At least none that I know of (I'm blonde so if there are any I don't notice them). 

[Deleted]

My hair has/had really blond parts to it (it's like a light brown) but since pregnancy it's been getting progressively darker.

So I'll let you know in about a year when it's all the same color and I can see greys better, lol.

EL OH EL OH EL OH EL!

I started getting gray hairs last year. I'm 28. Welcome to adulthood y'all! Actually, I'm a werido because I am SO EXCITED my gray hairs are WHITE! I can't even get mad at that! White hair is so beautiful on old ladies. I guess if I'm still young (I guess less than 50?) when they take over completely I might dye my hair. For now though, I'm not bothered.

Also, I now get like a TON of those almost clear hairs on my toes and upper lip. Thank God for Surgi Cream.

[lolobeth802]

This year, so 33. I have 2 so far. They are wiry, thick little bastards.

[mandymay]

I got my first at 24. I've noticed a couple since then, but there aren't a lot of them. Apparently my mom was full on gray by the time she was 29.

[circa1978]

I'm 35 and none yet.

[zoidberg]

35 and none yet, knock on wood.

[amberlyrose]

High school.
My moms side of the family goes gray really early- like full gray by 30.

[lib82]

22

[papie]

28 in my eyebrows, 30 (after pregnancy) in my hair

[coribelle26]

Probably about 26 or 27, in my part. (Of my hair, that's not a euphemism for pubes.) There are still a small enough number that I just pull them out.

Lately I've been getting one wiry chin hair that makes me want to die.

[sarahswim]

Early 20s. I've gone progressively lighter when dying my hair over the past 15 years or so because with dark brown hair, the contrast was so bad. I can now go about 4.5 weeks before I need a root touch up 

[Cricket0619]

I am 31 and don't have any yet.

[Deleted]

Not sure because I have highlighted my hair forever. When I was 29 and pregnant with DS, I mentioned to a friend that ever since I was pregnant, I had noticed a few gray hairs and she looked at the top of my scalp and said "you have waaay more than just a few!!" and ever since then, I notice them like crazy. Gotta love honest friends!
