I have quite a bit of grey now. I had none into my thirties, and then after a really stressful time in work suddenly noticed I had sprouted a load of greys. Then I had an accident, and a couple of operations, and another big rush of grey hair. I literally had all this hair on my head that had two inches of white at the root and was normal after that. Super. Obviously I dye the sh*t out of it, but it's still a bit annoying.

Don't even get me started on the grey pubes tho..

Yep, nobody warns you about those:(

Greys can add character to a man and are far more attractive to women than dyed hair:)

This is so true

I dye my hair so don't know if I have any

I noticed a huge increase of grey hair when I was diagnosed with MS. Obviously a super stressful time but of all the "symptoms" I knew I would have to contend with, going grey before 30 is not one I considered!

I'm 23 and I've never dyed my hair, I am a rarity in the female world, don't think I'll be getting much more out of it, always had 1 grey rib since the day I was born, it's more transparent really, but in the last year or so they have started multiplying, I pull them out, don't believe in that old wives tale, but doubt I'm going to get more than a couple more years before I have to start dying it. Sigh!

Whites or Caucasians whatever you want to call them apparently go grey sooner than their black cousins. Whites can begin to the lose the tone as early as their late 20s, many even before that. Blacks on average tend to keep it till mid to late 40s.

Anyone here have grey hairs, Im 25 and still of colour but I think I'd dye my doo if it changed. I don't want the salt and pepper look until about 45 or so.

Are you sure?

most people at 25 have at least one grey hair. Not looking hard enough perhaps?

My hair is receding and thinning at 27 - I'd prefer to be going grey.
I wouldn't dye my hair if I were going grey, but I'm reluctant to shave my hair off and embrace the bald look, because my hair is shoulder length at the mo, and once I give in and get rid of it, there's no turning back

I think redheads get them way earlier - there was a guy in my secondary school with a white streak, and I've been getting the odd one since I was seven. I've a fair smattering dose of them now, at 38, so I'm starting to look blonde. :eek:

My dad only went grey in the last 5 years and he's 74 this year. It was a sandy/blonde colour for ages and we thought he wouldn't go grey at all but BOOM! He turned grey all of a sudden.

I am 29 and started getting grey hairs about 4-5 years ago, which is grand, I actually prefer the grey to dying it. Hair has also started thinning in the last few years which is far more worrying. Once it gets too thin though, i will just shave it off altogether.

I have a lovely grey streak developing at my temples. I will never dye my hair again

If they are there I choose not to notice. :pac:
