    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).

    Last year when I turned 30 I noticed grey hairs a bit depressing lol

    Luckily I dye my hair blonde so it hides it!

    After I had DD I noticed I starting getting some. So about 28-ish. Now, 5yrs and 3 kids later, I couldn't count them if I tried. And if I pulled them out I would definately be kinda thin on top, lol! Now, I dye my hair to hide my greys, not just because I like to change the colour of it! It's not too bad really, I'm just vain! They are noticable when you look up close and they're getting worse, but if I didn't colour my hair, from a few metres you couldn't see I had grey hairs! My mum was pretty grey by the time she was 40, but my dad is only just starting to get more grey hair than balck at 67. I'm thinking I take after mum with my grey hairs unfortunately!

    I wonder what it is that makes a difference? I have really dark hair so they are extremely noticable and embarassingly, I have found the odd grey pube too! PS Iam 36.

    Genetics maybe. My granny only had a few grey hairs when she was 80 so I've always hoped for her genetic legacy not my Mums (hair-wise that is and legs too - my Granny had awesome pins).
