How much grey (hair) do you have?

[SusieAndTheBannedShes]

Just that.

I am mid 60s (but taken for being much younger- sorry but and looking younger runs in the family. Adult DD gets IDd all the time.)

Anyway- I've always had some subtle highlights in my dark blonde hair, and now that I've gone a shade deeper with them for more 'warmth' I'm a bit shocked at how much grey I have ( the grey always looked more like light blonde.)

Hairdresser says I am 50% grey.

:(

I'm 41. I think i'm about 95% of the way there

I find this fascinating as am very allergic to PPD so have no options with hair dye really.

I'm 41 and have a couple of visable greys but nothing much.. I have dark brown hair naturally so it does show.

I find it pretty hard to see them as I love my hair and colouring and see it as the end of my youth so lovely to hear that others don't feel like that.

I do see some pics of grey hair that looks fab however very rare they look youthful.

I'm late 50s and have just one small bit of grey that's appeared in the last year. It's in a daft place, at the top of my crown, but doesn't really show as I'm naturally dark blonde and it's hidden by highlights.

I'm mid 50s and stopped dying my hair as I couldn't get to the hairdresser in lockdown. I've got a sprinkling all over my head - I'd guess about 20%. My greys seem to be particularly sparkly so I just treat them as highlights in an otherwise dark mouse head of hair. I rather like them.

60 and none at all. Its bizarre. But my Dad was the same. He now has about 30% aged 85

Definitely genetic. I'm about 30% white, rather than grey, at 48. It is noticeable but blends in with my darkish blond natural hair colour - I get compliments on it (far more than when I used to have it coloured up until 3 years ago) and have been asked several times where I had it "done" 🤣

I spotted my first white hair at 19 but only had the occasional one until my late 30s.

I got my first grey at 29 and was really freaked out... but I've only just got my second at 41!

I'm half your age OP and totally grey. Totally love it.

I'm 33 and maybe 5% grey? Very very dark hair and they're bright white which isn't ideal. I do henna my hair every month or so but that just turns them copper for a few days and then they fade back to white again. I take after my mum who's been grey as long as I can remember. My dad is in his 70s and only started greying these past couple of years!!

More than I'd like so I dye it!
I'm 44.

None. I'm 55.

To answer to your question id say I'm 50% silver 50% dark brown. The silver is at the front.

As an aside, a tan looks so much deeper (and very nice) when you are silver.

On the down side, I find I must condition my hair every time I wash as the silver can get quiet wiry, but the dark brown is greasy, so it's more upkeep to keep it in good condition .

None. Almost 40.

I have found a single long white hair, though, in the past few months. I have light-ish strawberry blonde hair, so it's 'hidden' I was tempted to pull it out, but left it. I'm on the lookout for more now!

About 35% according to my hairdresser but have absolutely no intention of finding out for sure

It's also thick and wiry, so I'm wondering if it will all be like that unless it's an anomaly.

47 and about 90-95 %..I was dyeing my hair to cover noticeable grey by 30 but it grows so fast I was needing to do it every 2 weeks. I couldn't keep up with it. I dont love it but being fat and looking knackered all the time bothers me more tbh... the combination is not great for self esteem...

Nearly fifty and almost none (2 or 3 hairs if you look closely! BUT I have lost half my hair and it is so thin. I would gladly swap for thick, grey hair!

51 and about 5 percent over the last year or so. Still individual strands, on my crown. My hair is almost black. Not dyed it yet. Can't be arsed!

Name changed as this is not about me.

My teenager has a few grey strands amongst her thick, dark hair. I was worried at first, but it's quite normal apparently and at the moment she's not interested in dyeing it or even using a colour shampoo. It isn't noticeable.

45 and none at all. Hairdresser always comments on it. Have naturally dark blonde hair, get highlights.

A lot. I'm 53 and its still has dark patches at the back but it looks whiter if I grow my layers down

Sorry I didn't mean to put 3 photos up 🤦

@cloudtears I had a few random white hairs as a teen as well and now at nearly 40 I have a few more but not many at all, under 10 hairs but I have dark hair and they're near the front for the most part so quite noticeable.

That's interesting to hear. Thanks.

I’m 53 and I think I have about 10% grey, what i have noticed is that my natural brown colour is duller now so I dye it once a year and do my roots every few weeks.
