I found one this morning. I thought I'd be at least thirty before one appeared, but I'm only 26! When did others first get one?

Late teens I think? I was totally grey in my late 20s early 30s probably, stopped dyeing a few years ago, so have silver hair at 40. I was bang on trend for a few years ;)

I still haven't got one. I'm 54 soon.
I suspect they will all come at once though!

14, and it was a full streak like rogue from x-men.... 30 now and they are coming thick and fast (and not just on my head 😭)

Ilovewillow · 05/05/2019 17:01

Wow at people with none into their 50's, and that some people got some in their teens.
Funny that you got one for each A level @ eurochick.

28, I found it in March when my oh and I agreed to get a hip operation done on our 12 year old dog...
I stressed myself out worrying about what to do and probably wouldn't have noticed them if I hadn't decided to stop colouring my hair 😂
