First gray hair(s)---how old were you?

[Superfly Sister]

24 or 25, I can't remember.

 

[AimWard]

I've had greys since I was about 7 so going grey is not a big deal to me.

 

[havilland]

i have two gray hairs. i got one the year i married his dad, and i got the other one the year my son was born.

my son got his first one at 3.....he's 3 1/2......

 

[Kurlee]

I'm 27 and I have 5 of them

 

[Kurlee]

this thread makes me feel so much better

 

[qchelle]

I guess around 13? I'm 21 now and I have a small clump of grays right in the front lol. No big deal to me since I've had them for so long.

I guess it is kind of odd that I look like I'm 16 and I have gray hair lol. That aging thing is really off for me

I got my first gray hair last year at 26... right after I lost my job and had the epic breakup with the ex. It is the first hair in the very front of my peak

Found my first one this year, but it was about 8 inches when I found it. I'm 26 btw.

My sister has a few long gray hairs. They really stand out. They're beautiful! I want them. But I'm pretty sure she's gonna be like mom: mostly gray by the time she's 40.

Got 1 at 34. I will be 36 this summer and I have yet to see another. My mother is 57 and only has bout 10; and, you have to be all up in her hair to see those. Sooo...I hope to grey slowly-like her.

28. It was on my one year wedding anniversary that I discovered it

 

[Candy828]

I was in my 40's when I started getting gray hair. But it's wasn't until the big 50's that I thought I needed to color my hair.... I am still in age denial. I have always looked younger.... I can't seem to age past 36 mentally.

[operastarlet]

found my first one in the second half of my 29th year. I keep searching for new ones but *fingers crossed* none since!

 

[ms-gg]

Hopefully not until I am 40ish. That is about the time my mom started greying. My fam didn't really start greying until they were in their 60's...

 

[TurquoizBlue]

around 45-46. Still only have a few strands.

I spotted my first gray hair the day before my 34th birthday. I was flat-ironing preparatory to a weekend outing, and I just about had a heart attack. After I got myself under control, I realized that, hey, I've got an uncle who was completely gray before he even reached 30. I have no reason to trip about a couple of gray hairs. Yes, there are a few more, now that I'm 40, but I kinda like them, and there aren't enough to be worth the drama/trauma to my hair to risk my HHJ to hair dye.

 

[justicefighter1913]

shyt...I think I've found one in my head tonight. None too happy about this....not at all.

 

[HairRaiser]

I was about 4 when i first started getting silver streaks in my hair. (It's genetic because my father was almost completely gray by the time he was 30)...

It got me a lot of attention from other kids when I was smaller, but it wasn't a problem until I got to high school when the headmaster made me dye my NATURAL silver streaks black. (I went to a private boarding school and it was considered an "Extreme" hairstyle)

 

[mandii]

Im 33 and I got my first gray at 20. I now have a streak, about an inch wide in the front and they have taken over my edges. I dye my hair as often as possible. Lol

 

[ManeStreet]

27 years old

 

[cheryl26]

Found one the beginning of this year, I plucked it with a tweezer, never saw it again. I'm 26.

 

[Anaya-Amani]

I found my first gray at 23! My 17 yr old was born with 1 long gray strand.

 

[AwesomelyNappy]

i only have a few, but i was born with them. when i was little, i was always told that having them at birth meant i would be wise or that i had an old soul, lol. i love them though and plan to embrace them fully when i get older. My dd was born with them also.

also, i notice that 1 or 2 sprout up on me when i let myself get really stressed. when i start seeing new ones, i know its one way my body is telling me i need to relax, slow down and take things easy.

 

[Prelude to a Kiss]

I was about 18/19. My tia was playing around in my hair and found it smack in the middle of my head. She pulled it out to show me. I was so proud I kept it to show my DH. (He was deployed at the time.)

I don't mind it. My mom started silvering in her teens and it looks amazing on her.

 

[lesedi]

None yet. My mother was in her mid forties when she got her first. Hope that's me too

 

[growth2come]

I found mine last year, I actually spotted 2 of them as I was getting my hair ready for a wash. They looked so shiny I was so freaked out I called all my 3 sisters!

ETA: That was few months before my 30th birthday.

 

[SimJam]

I got my first gray hairs in grad school lol. early 20's

had abut 3 right in the front of my head. however since of late (30s ) I now have what u may rightly call a patch of grays in the same area - they all came up within the last 6 or so months

 

[constance]

17 yrs old for the first, but they didn't start coming in full force until my late 30's.

 

[FlyyBohemian]

I was 13 when I had my first grey hair.

 

[naturalnikki]

23 and I blame it on my son's father! Constant stress lol. He's 22 and has a head full of grays though.
