I'm naturally quite fair - I have no grey hair on my head but my eyebrows have gone white this year! (I'm 52)
Now I'm in a quandary as to whether I should fill them in with eyebrow pencil but everyone will think I'm pretending to be 22.

I'll have to leave them white

’Conyo Heather Shimmer by Rimmel was my first ever lipstick.

Worn with Azure Blue eyeliner

I'm mid 40's and started going grey in my teens. Although I have hardly any wrinkles, strangely. I suppose at least I can cover my greys up, even if it has to be every couple of weeks I think my hair must grow ridiculously fast.

This thread is making me chuckle...particular gems:

completely silver of bonce but dark luscious minge
Arse hair however is as vigorous as ever
And
My dads hair was a sandy blond well into his 69s I'm smutty

I'm almost 42 and haven't spotted a grey anywhere yet. I thought I saw one the other week but turns out that it was my one white blonde strand that I've had since little. I have boring mousey hair so deserve to stay grey free!

BadTasteFlump · 07/02/2018 10:03

Oh my god just read the mention of grey eyebrows! What do you do with them then? Can they be dyed too? I don't have any yet and strangely haven't considered that before!

MrsPreston11 · 07/02/2018 10:03

I'm 35 and none on my head and not nticed any in my pubes.

DH the same age and has had greys as long as I've known him (met at 18) and now well over 50% grey.

I've not thought to check his pubes........will later and report back!

Anymajordude · 07/02/2018 10:05

None on my head, none on pubes, the odd white eyebrow hair. Am 43. Mum is 78 and still none.

StableGenius · 07/02/2018 10:06

I'm 48 and noticed my first couple of grey hairs (at the temples) recently.

Nothing in the pube region yet.

Wtfdoicare · 07/02/2018 10:06

I started getting grey hairs when I was 18. Think I must be pretty much all white now under the dye at 42. Bloody depressing! Pubes seem ok so far. I can't imagine not having any grey and not having to deal with it on a daily basis, you lucky people!

cecinestpasunepipe · 07/02/2018 10:07

65 and no grey hairs on my head. Unfortunately my big belly and big boobs totally get in the way of seeing my pubes, probably haven't seen them in a decade!

elliejjtiny · 07/02/2018 10:07

I'm 35, bit of grey in my hair and loads of wrinkles round my eyes.

PointyBirdsAnointyNointy · 07/02/2018 10:08

I have individual moustache hairs (thanks PCOS) which are half black and half white. WTF is that all about?

Inthedeepdarkwinter · 07/02/2018 10:08

I'm late forties and have white hair mixed in my eyebrows and down below- but not on my head.

Lots of luxuriant growth on my chin as well.

I occasionally use pencil on the eyebrows, they do look paler and more sparse than when younger.

Solo · 07/02/2018 10:09

Nearly 54 and I don't have a single grey hair either...they are all married with loads of kids and cousins and grandkids etc. I drown them in a box colour every couple of months. Pubes have a courting couple but, I keep plucking them out and have done for years. Haven't seen any grey pit or leg hairs though yet and eyebrows? I think I had one a few years back and plucked it; not returned yet.

Pearlsaringer · 07/02/2018 10:09

Just starting to get grey hair at 60. None in the other place. Is hair colour a factor? I was a proper ginge when I was young, faded to a light brown/blonde in my 40s.

Shadow1986 · 07/02/2018 10:11

This is not fair, I’m 31 and have to spend a monthly fortune on dying my grey hair

SweetMoon · 07/02/2018 10:12

Early 40's here and is it coincidence that I started going grey the minute my dd became a teenager? Been downhill ever since. Only my head though! Clearly thats absorbing all the stress!

WingsOnMyBoots · 07/02/2018 10:13

Maybe your bottom half does all the worrying?

JadziaSnax · 07/02/2018 10:14

I'm 44. I found my 1st grey hair before I was 10. I still have only 1 grey hair.

Super123 · 07/02/2018 10:14

Pooryorick, that made me laugh so much!

53 here and just showing a couple of white hairs on the side.

I am living proof that a stressful life has nothing to do with going grey!

Pearlsaringer · 07/02/2018 10:16

Wings that’s genius!

Solo · 07/02/2018 10:19

If I was young and my hair grey, I'd leave it natural. For me, young people can really rock grey hair; older people not so much as it is aging when your jowls and sallow skin appear.

My mum didn't go grey until she was well into her seventies (and didn't we all hear about it) whereas I have been going grey since my late thirties at least. (Thus prompting all the mum comments - "I don't have any grey hair".)

Have decided now at 62 that I can't keep up with (or afford) colouring my roots and am ditching the dye - am expecting it to take about 18 months. It was very liberating to just go to the hairdresser and have a dry cut - £6 instead of £30 for colour and cut.

itshappening · 07/02/2018 10:23

No one has a single grey hair on their head. The impression of grey is created by the mixture of white and whatever other colour.

chchchchchangess · 07/02/2018 10:45

I did have a baby half a year ago - maybe my bits went into shock!
