Well IMHO and FWIW I think grey hair can be v sexy. I knew a woman had them at 20 and it looked good. Plus it's an excuse to play around with hair colour and keep Davina Mccall in a job:). I dunno I find grey hair in women attractive. Certainly wouldn't make me think them older or not attractive anyway.

Hair dye. Sorted.

Wayne Rooney likes women with grey hair too....there mostly grannies tho!!

Please, I'm twenty and I have loads of them. Auld pa was prematurely grey and passed it on to us kids. My sister is the worst, 18 and has streaks of grey in her hair.

Galwaaygirl

29! You've had so many grey free years! Spare a thought for those of us who spotted those first few greys at 15/16 years old......

admiralofthefleet

lucky fecker, im not 28 for another 2 weeks and im nearly like ruby walsh:eek:

spinandscribble

spotted my first few on my crown this summer. i dunno, i'm kinda looking forward to being salt and pepper :P hopefully not for a few more years anyway.

i already dye my hair, but these feckers are breaking through :mad:

although im slightly cheered after reading the responses above - maybe im lucky to have gotten this far without the dreaded grey

Dudess

Getting them since I was 17 - and they're not grey, they're snow-white. Plus, my hair grows like grass so they poke through about three weeks after a dye-job. Still though, they're building up really slowly. I'm addicted to dying my hair anyway so meh... Find a really good hairdresser though. I've been shopping around lately (as I've moved house) and they're always missing bits, using dyes that don't give strong enough coverage etc. Going back to my regular hairdresser and sticking with her.

For in between dye-jobs (because it's not good for you to get your hair dyed TOO often) you can get these touch-up things which are really easy to apply and do the trick for a week or two.

They may go away too. Happened to me. Got a mob of them at the sides when I was about 23, then they went away over a year or so and only came back in my late 30's. I blame an ex for that though.:D

Permanent hair dye! Sorted for up to six weeks!

yep, i've had them since ive been 16 - they are ever so gradually spreading for the past 15 years. I dont really mind them - suppose its becuase it hasnt been a sign of getting older for me. I find they are nearly twice the thickness of my normal hair ??

brianthebard

29, pfft. You got off easy!

I have had grey hair since I was 18 too. Its reallly wirey compared to my own hair, always sticks out ! Really need to get my hair done at moment- not pretty.

SaintHubbins

I ate a big red candle.

i have a few too although my hair is blonde sou can't really see them... i am 30 in a fortnight lol:(

The Saint

Have some popping out the side of my head too. Not too happy about it but I'm nearly 29 so I guess they have to come some time. I just think of it as an expression of my intelligence and makes me look more like George Clooney even if I look nothing like him.

Aaww don't feel . Its a special birthday everyone has to do what you want!
And Once your over that its a whole decade till you have to worry about a milestone!

First few grey hairs are what make you old ?
Ha if that is the case I was old when I was 12.
Age is just a number it's experience and maturity that counts.

Now I've naturally black hair, which is nice. I've been getting grey ones since I was sixteen, which isn't.

They're still, at 26, pretty occasional, and I occasionally bribe someone to stand behind me and yank the beggars out, but I know the day will come when the dye will be bought. Its really unfair that black hair shows them up in such stark relief.:mad:

Old n cranky

Ive been doing the usual messing with the hair for years so theyve always been covered up - so Ive no idea when I started getting them, but my Mum did at 20 odd so Ill go with that.

AnnieB82

I had a friend that went grey as a teenager and always had to dye her hair. So it can get worse than 29!

They're lucky to be on my head.

It's all about how you carry them :pac:

positive mental attitude, thats what it's all about.

that, and a good healthy dose of denial :pac:

Red Hand

I have never seen a grey hair on me yet, but my hair is brown so they wouldn't really show up.


They wouldn't want to show up either cause when I fall fall off my twig, they won't get any inhairitance.

Wibbs

Have to agree* with tallaght01 the cocky so and so,:D but he's dead right, they're lucky to be on your head and it's all about how you carry them.








*We rarely agree on a damn thing. If he said the sky is blue I'll go three pages trying to prove him wrong, sooooooo if we do it's most likely bloody obviously right.:D

So you agree with me? This is frankly weirding me out. Somethings adrift, run while you can.:D

Plus for sam34 pics or GTFO "know your loungers" seems the appropriate place.

Niamho!

oh God!! i found my first one two weeks ago!! i thought there was one and a bloke in work said he saw two! (i'm 25) I havent seen it since coz it seems to be whatever way my ponytail is pulled back...
I have to say i was devastated, haha. but i got over it quick enough. i havent touched my hair with a dye in a year and a half coz i want to change the colour and have to let it grow out.

CathyMoran

Almost 35 and no grey hairs yet - though inside I feel like I am 50!
