When did you first find grey hairs?

[HowlsMovingBungalow]

Turned 43 last week and literally noticed 6 or so grey hairs appear in the last 3 weeks- had dyed hair since I was 14 and growing out blonde and left with very fucking dull mousey hair - I know I've lucky with no greys until now but shit, they are multiplying rapidly!

Did your grey hairs appear overnight?

Mid to late twenties. I dye it because I suit dark hair better and prefer it on me but I think now (age 32) it would be about 25% grey. Blonde friends seem to go grey later but think partly just less obvious than us brunettes!

I’m 35 and my DS noticed one the other week 😥😥 I fixed him with a beady stare and told him i’d ‘Dyed it’ 😂😂

The week after I had my first baby at 25, I'm now 36 and mostly white under the hair dye!

On my 26th birthday 😒 well I'm 34 now and I've maybe got about 5 or 6 that I pull out when they grow bk 😂 my mum is in her 50's and doesn't have loads so hopefully I'll be the same 🤞🏻

I'm nearly 54.
I have no greys on my head. I've two in my eyebrows though. They are annoying.

In my late teens. I'm in my earlyish 30s now and I'm about a third grey.

17, I'm 36 now and am probably 40% -50% grey. I have dark brown hair so it really shows up too. I dye it.

19! :-(

I'm 47 and have about two or three; otherwise, still brunette and long may it last...

I am 42 very soon and have just noticed my first (I have dark brown hair).

to those who had grey hairs in teens and early 20s!
I will shut up about greying in my 40s - seems there are few of us that got this far without them.

32

" to those who had grey hairs in teens and early 20s!"

I think we all have bits that drop off and break as we get older, it's just the order in which they drop off and break that varies

Very true KnittingSister!

My hair has kept its colour but my uterus gave up the ghost in my 30s!

I was 21. Spent years having it highlighted but I’ve stopped dying and embracing my white temples and silver sparkles at 34.

40 - just a couple at the front in my hairline. Two years later and a couple more have appeared spread throughout - easy to spot as there's just one white hair at a time among the brown. My mother is 70 next year and still has mostly brown hair with a sprinkle of grey throughout, so maybe it's genetic. My grandmother dyed her hair jet black until she died in her 90s so no clues there!

I was chatting to my kids about it the other day, as their stepmother told them she started getting white hair at age 13. She had a lot of grey hair when I was at uni with her and by 30 her hair was completely white. She's always dyed it but has pure white roots in between - she'd look amazing if she grew it out actually, gorgeous thick, curly, shiny hair (not like my fine, crap hair, I'm jealous!)

I found one single white hair when I was 20 and pregnant. Nothing more until I was pregnant again at 25 and they started coming in and haven't stopped 2 years later. I don't know if the pregnancy thing was just coincidence but I like to blame it on that! I have black hair and they come in pure white.

Found my first at around 19 or 20. Started dyeing it at 30 and stopped a couple of years ago. I quite like it now. White at the front and grey/brown at the back. A bit piebald pony!

A few days ago. Found my first. Am 34.

35 and I have none

My mum is 52 and has none, dad is 53 and has grey on the sides but that’s it

16 my friends were horrified. Nearly 51 and been dying all these years think I’m 80% white and wondering whether to stop the battle & grow it out. My natural hair was dark glossy brunette but not seen it for yonks.

I'll turn 29 next month and I haven't found any (dark brown hair).

My mum didn't get any greys until she was in her late 40s though, so I live in hope. Even at 55 she only has a few white hairs around her temples.
