Grey hairs before 40, now the eyebrows too.

My mum didn't go grey until her early 60's when she became very ill, I've been going twinkly since I was 35 and more so since my lovely mum had the audacity to leave my world a few years ago. I miss her.

This morning I found a grey hair in my eyebrows. I'm 43 ffs! I don't know why I'm so pissed off about this especially since ageing isn't afforded to everyone, but even so I'm miffed.

Eyebrow tinting it is. Anyone else started going grey early(ish)

I got my first grey hair in my teens , my hair is naturally black so that goes for all the hair on my body.
But yes I'm mid 40s and am finding grey eyebrow,pubes,chin hair as well

I don’t think seeing greys in 30s and 40s is early really. I think it’s probably about normal - I’m in my 30s and some of my friends have considerable amounts of grey, some none but most have a few at least.

My dh was completely grey by 29 when we met. Totally normal, everyone is different I think.

Apparently eating walnuts can help stave off the grey!

I get the odd white eyelash rather than eyebrows. Started in my 40s I think

Found my first grey hair at 17. I'm 31 now and have loads more (although still not 100% grey!) that used to bother me but doesn't any more. Off to the supermarket to buy walnuts Grin

Think I was in my 20's when the first few popped up. Now 37 and have quite a few and not just on my head. I know it always feels worse when you find them somewhere else.

I found my first grey hair at 17, at 49 I'm now almost entirely silver on my head but interestingly enough, have yet to find a grey hair anywhere else on my body, not so much as a solitary solver pube!
