to ask when you started getting grey hairs?

[starstarstarstar]

I'm only 26, and I've noticed more than a couple silver strands in my hair.

It's depressing, I feel way too young for this. And it's only going to get worse :S

How old were you when you noticed this, and is there any way to stop this? Is it really caused by stress?

A few when I was only about 20.

Then they exploded when I got to 30 😭

That's me at the front, sort of a soft white, still a little dye on the ends, and my friend behind, more of a blue grey. Both of us are grey at the front and dark at the back.

31. I looked in the mirror in the car and almost fainted.

also, I’m sure I read a long time ago that premature greyness is linked genetically to hereditary high cholesterol, which I also have, thanks parents! But looking it up quickly now I can only find a study done on men, albeit that study does suggest there may be a link (more testing is needed).

20. And then I ended up dying it for years.

I stopped dying it 2 years ago at the age of 50 and I love it! I should have done it long ago, it's in fabulous condition and I have a white/silver streak at the side which I love. Embrace the grey and be on trend!!

23/24 and I have a lot more now. It's quite normal to start going grey in your 20s.

When I discovered my ex husband was a lying c@nt . About 10 years ago .

Another teenager here- was my 19th birthday and was gutted! No idea really how many more as I have coloured my hair ever since. Natural colour is dark brown- I have a massive pure white streak in my fringe and a sprinkling everywhere else. My newish hairdresser wanted to make a 'feature' of the streak but I could not be convinced!

First white hairs appeared in my mid twenties.

Dyed my hair for most of my 40s. Stopped dying it over 3 years ago now and am loving my natural colour. Hair is in much better condition, with lovely natural sparkles and I look younger than I did with grotty dyed hair.

A few people have said they thought I dyed it grey!

I'm 51 and I'd say I probably have about 50 grey hairs; unfortunately there on my part line and I don't like it anywhere else!
I've been lucky I think, my younger DBro is grey all over his head and DSis is nearly completely grey too.

26 and I've noticed a few lately.

It varies massively from person to person. I only started getting the odd grey this year and I'll be 40 in a few months. DH is nearly completely grey (everywhere ) at 42 - he started getting greys in his 20s. My sister has also had grey hairs since her 20s.

27

40 here, no grey hairs yet apart from one white eyebrow hair which I've had forever! I pluck it out whenever it appears.

Do you think dying it makes the hair go greyer faster or is that just a ridiculous thought?

DPs first at 22 and he has a lovely long grey eyebrow hair at 23 that I get to pluck! He's a redhead too...
I have no idea as have been dying my hair since 14.

I was about 15 when I first noticed one, had to start dying my roots in the past couple of years (I am 27). I love my natural hair colour so I am very sad to go grey so early, but my mum was grey by the time she was 29

39

17, and have been dyeing it ever since! I'm 39 now and really silver at the temples if I don't keep up with the dye, it's very noticeable.

Had them since I was 17. I'm 29 now and I've got loads.

I can't say I care tbh, I dye my hair anyway.
