I've been getting grey hairs since I was 21, If I don't dye it my hair will still be uniform dark but with a few noticeable greys. Always thought this was very young to get them, just interested to hear others' experiences

My mum was like you. I’m late 30s and get the very odd one in my temples which I pull out.

  1. I was silver by 30, it's hereditary in our family.
wildlifeobserver1 · 11/04/2022 11:28

21 I think!

Odd grey hairs since my mid twenties. I’m now mid thirties and am getting increasingly grey around my ears and nape but elsewhere seems to be pretty static. I’m dark brunette so it’s reasonably noticeable but I’m not motivated enough quite yet to get in the endless as cycle of hair dying.

First few grey hairs late 20s...by early 40s was having to dye it regularly back to my natural almost blackGrin colour.

Within a few years was so bored dyeing it every 3 weeks to avoid a badger look... That I changed colour and dyed it a scandi blonde colour... Is brilliant... Only have to dye it every few months

I've none yet at 30 but my mum started to go grey at 15!

Howabsolutelyfanfuckingtastic · 11/04/2022 11:38

I'm mid thirties and I don't have any grey hairs yet but i know it won't be long now......my hair is a dark brown so they'll be really noticeable when they do start. I might start dying it when i get grey hairs Grin

AfterSchoolWorry · 11/04/2022 11:48

15, grey hair and braces. Yay.

notacooldad · 11/04/2022 11:49

Not yet at 57 except for a couple that jeep appearing on my eyebrow. So annoying!!!

  1. I found my first grey hair on the postnatal ward after having my first baby
galacticpixels · 11/04/2022 11:57

I'm almost 30 and I think I saw a grey hair the other day when I was straightening my hair but the lighting was bad so I wasn't sure. If it was, that was my first one.

DrunkenKoala · 11/04/2022 11:58

Early 20s just the odd ones, now I’m mid 40s they are very noticeable and have to dye hair regularly.

RebeccaCloud9 · 11/04/2022 12:01

Found my first one at 30.

I'm 38 now and have a few but not loads - I still look like I have the odd grey rather than really grey roots.

Inthemane · 11/04/2022 12:02

In the last couple of years I have some at the temples and an annoying springy one right at the crown of my head Grin I’m 47

Grumpsy · 11/04/2022 12:03

First one at 16. Now in my 30s abs I have to dye it 😕

Bornsloppy · 11/04/2022 12:05

Early 20s. Now 40, I've got plenty of them but still mostly brunette. I don't mind too much and I'm too lazy to deal with the upkeep of regular dying.

Vampirethriller · 11/04/2022 12:08
  1. It's pure white now (at 40) and I've just stopped dyeing it.

  1. Sad

I can't be bothered to dye it any more.

  1. I've a few at the temples now I am 47.

I like them.

I have never dyed my hair so this is the most interesting change I've had in decades.

I am enjoying them.
