To ask when you got your first grey hair

[Lolabirdy]

so I’m 26 and I’ve got a few clusters of grey hairs growing from around my hairline and behind my ears. Theres 3 or 4 that are very visible when I tie my hair up.
I know it’s normal to get grey hairs but I didn’t think I’d get so many so young? My parents didn’t go grey in their 20s. I’m not going to colour them as I think it’d be easier to embrace them but just wondering when you first started going grey?

I think I was 19 or 20.

I was 14.

I got one strand at around about your age which I pulled out and then another strand 3 years ago and none since. I’m 40. There doesn’t seem to be any real pattern or logic to it.

35

12 or 13

19

41 noticed one. But no more until 3/4 months later

I got 5 or 6 white hairs whilst going through IVF at 27. I pulled them out and they have grown back pigmented (or never grown back) as I don't have a single white hair now, 6 years on.

I don't know if it was hormones or the intense emotions surrounding that time.

In my 20s I noticed a few strands. Then several more once I had children, so mid-30s. Really ramped up mid-40s.
I am resisting the urge to dye it as I am lazy and won’t keep it up so will end up with awful roots.

I'm early 40s and don't have any yet, but my teen has a grey streak

Early 20s

32

About 26 in similar places to you. Would dye it semi regularly but wasn't too worried. By about 35 or 36 I think I was pretty grey (hard to tell as always dyed) and now at 39 I ideally would redo my roots every 4 weeks, although in reality it's usually more like 6 or 7. It's very definitely visible grey after that many weeks, especially if I put my hair up. I'm annoyed it's another thing to deal with! Also didn't expect to go grey anything like this early.

A few silver hairs in my 20s and lots of grey by 35... I'm embracing it can't be bothered with dye!

I was 30, just after having my first baby. It was in that area of hair at the front that falls out and grows back postpartum. I’m now 40 and I still only have a few strands which are all in that same area.

On my 16th birthday....

32 and I dont think I've got any, but my hair is that light brown/dark blonde colour so it's possible that they'd be less noticeable until I start going completely grey.

About 16 , my Ddad was apparently 14 and dm about 19

About 29. I've dyed it myself since I was 18 so on this day I noticed a couple of greys when I'd not done my roots. Still dye it now at 45 so I never see them, I know I would have a fair few by now, I see them in my roots. My natural colour is darkish blonde and I dye it light blonde.

I think 24, soon after I had my first child. I have blonde hair though, so I probably had some before then that I hadn't noticed - I was only looking at my hair particularly then because it was falling out!

Late twenties I started getting the odd silver hair. I remember being quite upset about it. Partner went fully grey by thirty. I only got the odd one until mid thirties when I started getting quite a few soft white hairs. Now I am forty my hair is getting streaked with white. I don’t particularly like it but I can’t dye it because I have a skin condition on my scalp so it is what it is.

40s now and still mostly dark hair but a bit more noticeable silver now. I find it pretty
