To be going grey before 30

[Winebomb]

It's not genetics, my mum is blonde and my dad has black hair.

Mum doesn't know if she has greys (is 48, yes young my parents have been together since they where young, and are doing jolly well!)

My dad has jet black hair and didn't go grey until his mid forties, (he is 51 now)

Before I messed about with it, my hair was a striking shade of auburn.

I have dyed it about 7 times, 3 with bleach, I have a posh ombré (starts with a b) and love it, I lost a lot of hair with pregnancy hormones so it gives it some life.

Bit my hai literally has turned to straw in the last month and daily I am getting a pube like grey hair growing out of my head.

It's really horrible, I have always said o would grow old gracefully, but I am bloody 29.

Why is my hair going grey..

Is stress a real factor in this, because I do have lots of it.

And how do I make it lovely and soft again.. I could use my hair to make a god damn bristle pad..

Could the change in your hairs texture be down to hormones? Diet or stress ? Do you dye your hair a lot ?
I would suggest giving your hair a coconut oil mask...pure coconut oil put in the hair and left as long as possible once a week. And invest in a good conditioner. Look for shampoos and conditioners without silicones etc as they just coat hair and give the impression it's soft and healthy.
As for the greys I can't help there, but I would just recommend treating your hair well with natural masks. Olive oil is also good for the hair. Maybe invest in Argan oil or something similar to put through your hair when damp after washing..
Hope this helps !

Meh, it happens. It's no biggie. My mum started going grey at 16, my dad had the darkest hair until he was in his late 50s. Everyone used to accuse him of dying it (absolutely no way would he have done that). My hair had a sprinkling of grey in my early 30s. It happens for no rhyme or reason.

It cold be your genes even if your parents didn't go grey at a young age.
I was 29 and my hair was jet black with natural red streaks.
I am 51 now and stopped dying it a couple of years ago, the silver streaks are beginning to look much better than the darkest streaks if that makes you feel any better.
As you age it will look natural and believe it or not make you look younger.
Until then you can choose to colour or leave.

I think you should have your thyroid levels checked. Dramatic changes in your hair, dryness, thinning, etc, is a symptom of hypothyroidism.

I found my first grey at 22. By 30 I was visibly grey and now at almost 50 I am very grey. I stopped covering it at 40. it does need a different type of care, but on the plus side because it is springy I finally have some bloody volume and it looks great.

One kinky grey hair doesn't necessarily mean anything and yes, pregnancy does mess with your hair so I think some pampering is in order. Then just see how you go and learnt hat grey isn't the end of the world.

My dad started going grey in his 50s, my mum was 18.
I am 37 and half my hair is white.
It sucks.
And it is genetics, just cunt ones.

I got my first couple at 27, still only have a sprinkling in my 40s. One doesn't mean you'll wake up grey in a month.

I got my first grey hair at 16. I was blonde as a child, auburn in my teens to mid 20s then it started to go quite a dark brown but still has red bits. I started dying it in my late 20s as the greys were becoming very noticeable, now dye it blonde as I think it hides the greys better and it takes longer to notice them if the dye dosnt fully take.

I spotted my first grey hair at 12. My nan was white in her 20s and my dad was going grey when he married my mum aged 25.

I am not white, thankfully, but very grey at the front of my hair. The rest is brown. Until about three years ago I spent a fortune dyeing it all kinds of fabulous colours, and it looked great, but I couldn't justify the cost. So I jacked it in and went natural. I'm nearly 40.

There is a trend among some young people to dye their hair grey! I've seen them as I stand on a Tube station gate working.

My hairdresser keeps telling me he could put some lowlights in, but nah, been there, done that, besides, I hate the look of "roots". So I'm embracing the grey. I aim to be like Professor Mary Beard, she is also an aficionado. I once met a lady with grey hair who kept it short so she could put blue/pink/green highlights in it, so this is another life aim!

going grey is mostly genetic. bad condition can make it appear coarser, but honestly 7 lots of hairdying in almost 30years is nothing! i've been going grey since my mid teens and now at 36 i'm probably 50% grey. i don't see it often though as i love to dye my hair weird and wonderful colours.

I am a dark, warmish blonde and started getting greys pre 30. It is a very slow progression though - I have maybe 7 or 8 in a cluster at front on my hairline. Am nearly 35 now. My sister is 32 and has none. My dad (blonde) didn't go visibly grey till his 50's and my mum (dark auburn) was in her 40's. My ds was BORN with a big streak of white in his hair, which has stayed totally white from the root and he's nearly 9! Not sure what any of that means, but you can't control it, no point getting upset.

I started going grey at 15, it happens.

Put some mayo in your hair and stick it in a shower cap for a couple of hours then wash it really well, should help condition it a bit. If it's changed dramatically that suddenly though you might want to see a doctor, my sisters hair suddenly went like straw and started snapping and it turned out to be linked to anaemia.

I found my first grey at 25, I'm now 29 and constantly plucking them out around my hairline.

Dh started getting greys at 18!!

I have friends who are in their early 20s with grey hairs.

Genetically both parents didnt have grey until their 50s. I got some grey with first pregnancy and then with each subsequent pregnancy.

Sometimes you'll get a few grey hairs and it can be reversed with a multivitamin like it did with me at around 30ish. I'm older now and they are coming in more now but due to the vitamins/coconut oil are quite silky in texture

I had my first grey hair at 12, am now almost completely grey at 42.

My parents didn't start going grey till they were in their 50s but my gran had completely grey hair at 18 - so I believe that it's genetic.

I've been going grey since 17. I haven't had my hair a natural colour until this summer since I was 14, I'm 38 now and stripped the dye recently. It's white round my temples and grey streaks all through. It isn't great but your happens.

Is stress a real factor in this, because I do have lots of it.

For some people like me, yes this is a factor. My hair used to be thick and jet black. I had a few very stressful years my hair fell out and I developed lots of grey. It's recovered a bit in terms of thickness but can't reverse the grey.

I'm fed up of dying it now

Heathern I am seriously contemplating purple. My hair is short - think pixie crop - so I could totally rock that.

I started at 24. I'm 32 now and I get it coloured because I still feel a bit too young to leave it be. It looks a state, brown hair, grey roots. I think stress is a factor. Mine began during a very stressful time and my parents both went grey much later.

I am 39 and have been totally grey since my early twenties. I colour my hair every single 4 weeks without fail. No way am I ready to embrace the grey yet!

My dad passed away when he was 40 and was totally white. I blame him It's just crap genetics.
