how old were you when you really started noticing grey hairs

[HarumScarumSanitarium]

And what is your natural hair colour?

I have noticed over the last couple of weeks some silvery hairs in my hair. I was a bit taken aback to begin with (was a wake up call about my own mortality!) then reconsidered that I had done well to get to 34 without any signs of noticeable grey.

Just wondered about when you first spotted grey hairs? My hair is mousey brown.

[Lightbulbon]

I was expecting people to say 40s!

My first one was at 27. Noticed more than I can pluck out one by one at 35.

But they are dispersed and hidden on the underside of my hair so they are quite hidden without dye.

[Patterkiller]

Both dsis were grey in 20s but were very dark and both dye their hair. I'm blond and although I know there is a few it does blend better with fair hair.

[RoganJosh]

Redhead, gone to dark red.
First noticed one in my 20s, a few more mid 30s. Since I was 40 last year, I guess I have 20, which I pull out.

[MistyMeena]

Early 40s, just the odd one or two though - mid blonde hair

[Globetrotter100]

21. I've been dying my hair the whole of my adult life!

[teaandkitkats]

Blonde. 32. Started with morning sickness. Bypassed grey and went straight to white.

[TheyreBreakingThrough]

37, medium brown hair.
They're more visible if I part my hair in the centre, or straighten it. I pluck them from my hairline, but have never dyed my hair and don't intend to start now.

[elQuintoConyo]

17.

I dyed it until last year.

I'm 85% grey/white and 41yo.

In some light my hair looks blue! I love it. A bugger to grow out, but I'm delighted with the results.

Oh, I was a shade frequently referred to as 'wet mouse'

[MsRinky]

I'm very dark brunette and have only got my first few this year at 43. No intention of getting on the dye treadmill, will just go with it. I appreciate I might not have been quite so sanguine if they'd appeared at 23.

[Roomba]

I've just recently found two white hairs - I'm 40 in September. I reckon I've done well to last this long!

[Diamogs]

21 when they started appearing, very dark brown hair

Mid 40s now and probably only 10% grey, if that.

However my pubes are now about 80%

[busyboysmum]

I'm 46 and have naturally mousey hair. I only really noticed the greys quite recently 😢

[Mrs9C]

About 20 I'm now 34 and I have to dye it as there are quiet a lot of greys present - but not enough to make it look ok not to dye!

[Mrs9C]

quite*

[nanetterose]

I noticed one at 25. Now nearly 45, l have a small amount of silver underneath. I have shoulder length, wavy, chestnut hair that helps disguise it.
I'm not particularly interested in colouring it - l'm growing it instead!

[KittyKrap]

I was about 42, seriously bad divorce and noticed a few white hairs. Thought that was it and plucked them. I wondered if it was the stress as I'm ok again now.

Dark hair, 48.

[Hopefully]

Odd hairs from my mid 20s, a couple of definite badger stripes now I'm 33. Very dark brown hair. Haven't felt any need to dye it yet though, I figure ageing beats the alternative! (While fully reserving the right to change my mind entirely and start covering it with a vengeance at some future date if I want to).

[AmyInTheBoonies]

Mid brown hair and since 32 I've had to dye it or Id have about 40% grey at the parting.

The sides and back are not so bad but the parting is very noticeable.

[Thebigredcar]

I've got dark brown hair and get about 5 recurring ones around my temples. I'm 36 now and they started about 32 and haven't really progressed very fast

[naffedoff]

I'm 49 and have started noticing a few around the temples that are noticeable only when hair is tied back. Hair is dark brown.

[Glitteryfrog]

Red - 30ish. Starting to fade, with white hair in my fringe.
Someone commented the other day it was looking lighter.

[A1Sharon]

Sometime in my teens.
I'm 41 now, I dye my hair/root touch up every 10-14 days.
I'm naturally dark brown but dye it golden brown.

[skippy67]

I'm 48 and have just started noticing them. Dark brown hair, and have never dyed it.

[Haudyerwheesht]

Noticed one or two for a while but lots now - have just turned 35 and have dark brown hair. They're white though not grey.

[Numbkinnuts]
