    When did you notice you had grey hairs?

    I'm not talking one or two random greys, I'm talking having a look at your hair, and you can count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5........etc.

    Me? Now :/ Lol! My aunty went completely grey at 25! How are yours going?

    Maybe around 30? I know in my late 20s it was still just the very odd one that would show up.

    Not yet. I have 1 or 2 so far (late 30s). Fx they stay away a bit longer. Loads of wrinkles though.

    Early 20s for me. I used to pluck them out, but they fought back!

    It would have been late 20's when I had that many. Probably 28-29? now I'm 34 and they haven't got a lot worse, but they are really noticeable so I am starting to hide them

    I was 17 when I noticed my first grey hair. My mum was completely grey at 25. Now, I'm 33 and every time my hair grows out I notice more grey roots. I would prob be about 80% grey if I left my hair natural

    Around now at 31 - it's part of what I'm hating about the post birth hair shed...they're not all brown!

    (I may have been in denial about the existance of said not brown hairs for a while)

    None yet @ 32. My grandma had very few right up until she was 70 so I must have good anti-grey hair genes. Mum is completely grey already (@59) but she has had a lot of stress in her life that I haven't.

    None yet here either. Andrew on the other hand was turning gray in his mid to late twenties. Will be interesting to see which way our boys go.

    Late 20's I noticed a couple, started getting more about 32 and started hiding them about then. Generally they're in a certain patch on my head, although last year I noticed a couple extra in random places. Mum was completely gray by mid 30's so I'm doing better than that at least.

    I'm 37 and I've noticed about 6 or 7 over the years.
    One was in my pubes No-one warned me your pubes go grey.

    My mother was totally grey by her late 20's but still a very beautiful and sexy woman so I like to think that if I had them I would go the silver fox look instead of dying.

    I've coloured my hair from about 23 to keep the greys covered. I can't go longer than 5 weeks without having my roots done or its seriously not nice!

    My maternal Aunty was grey by 13, and my paternal Grandad went grey overnight almost, at 25-ish, after watching his brother and nephew fall of a cliff and drown. Apparently the stress caused it He's as white as snow, and has always been that way since i've been alive.

    I got my first greys in highschool, and now at nearly 26 years, I have skunk streaks!! Yuk!!

    I found my very first grey hair when I was 16, plucked it and never found any more until after Jboy was born, was too scared to count how many! (very noticeable ones too, coarse and wiry and sticking up from the top of my head!! I'm in denial and will continue to colour my hair now....

    My mum started going grey at 16, by 25 she was over 50% grey, she would now be completely grey (or white!) if she let it go natural. (she is 48)

    None yet for me (although if my hair keeps falling out at this rate it won't matter what colour the remains are) but one of my friends in high school was noticeably grey at 16 (probably about 25% grey).
