To be going grey at 24?!

Anyone else?!

I am 24 and I am going grey. Not just one or two but properly! I found my first 2 years ago now.

It's getting to the point where I'm going to have to consider starting to dye my hair (which I hate).

Did anyone else go grey young? None of my friends have even found one! They all thing it's bizarre when I tell them.

DP is 8 years older than me and doesn't have one the bastard.

See that looks amazing and I wouldn't mind so much if it were all over but it's so patchy right now that I don't think I'd want to leave it how it is at the mo!

I started going white when I was about 12, with loads by the time I left school. All my dads side were totally white by the time they were 30.
Guess who’s genes I got?!

19 for me. Now at 32 it’s all grey curly bits at the front and very noticeable but I love my natural dark hair so if it’s really bothering me I either mascara it or use the brown spray (I think it’s L’Oréal). That could be an option if you don’t want to dye it yet.

My cousin went grey at 15 but she’s a hairdresser and her salon does amazing things to her hair with dye and to keep it healthy so if you’ve never dyed it before and do want to I’d go the salon route.

I noticed my first grey hair at 14. My grandma went grey at 21 so it’s obviously something genetic. My brother is also grey. I’m 38.

I have naturally dark hair so dye it every 4-5 weeks as the grey roots are really noticeable.

I wish I had the courage to embrace the greyness as I can’t be bothered dying it really but my skin is fair and my eyebrows are pale so I’d look utterly washed out and much older. If you have good strong dark eyebrows/lashes and olive skin I can see it would look great though.

I won’t that Vogue Editor’s hair!

I'm totally grey at 42 - I've not dyed it for a year as I wanted to see what colour I am. Got lots of natural silver highlights/streaks.

You don't have to dye it.

I have dark hair and I had grey hairs in my teen and still do. Maybe stress. Maybe poor diet during teens. However what I've found is that black seed can really help. You can get it as an oil etc but you rub it into your scalp for two weeks.
It is basically a form of illness that can be cured.

If you don't like the greys, just dye it or get it professionally dyed.

Personally I think grey makes any woman look at least 15 years older. I know it's trendy to embrace the grey right now but I think it will be a passing fad. We naturally associate grey with aging.
