When did you first start going grey?

ejc423 · Coach

AAAHHHH I was just thinking of posting this. But I'm only 24 (almost), and I just find stray ones. I guess that's normal, but my hair is dark and I am NOT excited about it.

Irene · Dooney & Bourke

I got my first grey about 1 year ago, when I was 29. I have about 5 now. My mother got her first grey at age 16.

sfclinevandy · Coach

Yeah... I've been getting gray hairs since I was 16!!!!

I think it's hereditary because my mom and grandmother were the same way. It's not that bad yet... just random strays but my hair is naturally really dark brown so the gray is pretty obvious. Despite the old wives tale, I just pluck them out. I will be like all the other women in my family though, and NEVER let my gray show.

I just recently started going grey...i am 28....i like my grey strand that I have in the front in my bangs...

tara t · Marc Jacobs

ack !! my hair person said she found a few in there... i'm a blond so i guess they aren't too noticable?!? maybe i'm fooling myself.

i'm the big 2-8.

Meow · Coach

I had a cousin that started going gray at 14!!

atlgirl · Gucci

At sixteen. And now I'm 37, so there are plenty of grays there. At least your hair is light, Drew, so they won't really show much - I am definitely a natural brunette and the gray-coloring upkeep is a PITA at this point. :(

Lilykind · Hermes

Seriously...my mom has been plucking gray strands from my head since I was 11. I think they're stress-induced or something...I guess they're only strands but it sucks because my hair is naturally jet jet black.

Renee · Kenneth Cole

I found my first grey hair when I was 23. My mom plucked it out

I am 28 now and I have too many of them. I love my long dark hair and seing the grey is very upsetting - but I am not going to dye it just yet. It is totally genetic though.

bliss · Dooney & Bourke

I don't think I have a single grey hair in my head. My parents are both 53 and they're just now greying around their temples. I think it's more genetics than anything, because my parents are both worry warts and they should be completely grey by now.

Alikat · Kate Spade

I have the occasional gray hair and have since I was probably 19. No biggie as long as they don't take over

mikacat · Coach

maybe at 30?

i get highlites---my stylest notices them more than i do. they are all in the crown of my head.

nyc_shopgirl · Dooney & Bourke

I have found 1 or 2 strands in the past year does stress help the grey form? If so more are definitely on the way

Drew · Gucci

Hee, hee, hee. Misery loves company. I am feeling much better today. As SO also pointed out I have 16 grey hairs amond a head of thousands upon thousands of hairs. I guess I freaked out a bit.

At least I can console myself because as you all pointed out blonde hair hides it better than darker hair. At least we all have hair dye anyway.

Ditto here. My mom is fifty and she still has no grey at all. My dad is 57 (or 58) and he is only grey around the temples. I definitely think it's all in the genes.

bean · Kenneth Cole

I discovered my first grey hair at 25. Luckily no new ones have popped up yet and after I pluck it, it takes more than a year for it to visibly re-emerge.

carmenb513 · Coach

A year ago (I'm now 24)but it's in the genes in my dad. I have been getting my hair colored a color called "cherry cola" for the past 5 yrs so you really can't see them.But I wouldn't care anyhow.I would be more paranoid about getting wrinkles.But in that case the women in my family don't wrinkle my great grandma is 90 and I know women 40 who like they should be 90! So I guess I'll take grays over a saggy face!
