To ask when you got your first grey hair

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’m 42 and a red head… I cannot wait to go grey (well we go white not grey). I check almost daily!! Nothing nada!! I do however have one white hair in one of my eyebrows. Even when I have them tinted this one stays white. My lashes and eyebrows are clear…. No pigment at all. Also how lovely you are embracing it!! I love grey/white hair!!

You have the best hair colour. Don’t wish it away.

In my teens. In my 40s now and salt and pepper but with a couple of pure white patches around my temples. If it was all that colour I’d grow it out!

49 started get a few silver threads. Sick of people asking me if I dye my hair.

Early twenties the first time I noticed it. Me mum has told me I was born with lots of black hairs and one wiry grey!

I'm 34 now and they're thick and fast. Am embracing it too x
