How old were you when you found your first grey hairs?

38 & got a full head of nice brown hair but when I don't trim below, I get the odd grey one :/

Started to notice a few last year at the not so old age of 42, couldn't care less though.

17 - Got a good head of hair. Just lots of whites. I put it down to stressing about my future constantly. I like to plan ... A lot.

First greys on my head hair, about 18, I'm now 43 and look like a badger.

I was looking at some old photos on BookFace the other day and my beard was surprisingly dark 5-6 years ago, it's definitely "salt and peppery" now.

My dad went grey early as well. He's 88 this year and still has a full head of hair.

I'm 26 and have none but I am going ginger. Yes, ginger.

I jest, but I do keep finding ginger hairs higher and higher up on my sideburns.

Think I was about 15 .... by 20 i had a white streak. It was never grey it was white.

Almost 31, recently started finding my first greys growing through on the side on my head, no beard greys yet though.

What grey hairs?

35 and it also went thin so out came the clippers.

This morning I was sitting at my computer, and my GF walked over and pulled a hair out of the back of my head. When I looked at it, it was white from base to tip! A few more white hairs were found and harvested, and a couple of normal brown hairs to compare them with. No doubt about it, I've got my first few grey hairs at 24.

Books I am reading right now : this one.

Now reading this book :shock:

Mid 20s. 10 years later and I still don't find any in my stubble though, which is interesting given how many posters have said they found it in their beard first.

fatiain · 30 May 2015 at 23:20

No greys downstairs yet either.

Malt_Vinegar · 31 May 2015 at 00:02

31 all my hair, and no grey.
My dad still has all his hair, just a bit thinner, and a few greys

I think my first greys started appearing at about 14ish, for some reason grey hair has always come extremely early in my family.

Same here. I don't mind the grey but go through phases of colouring it.

It's the thinning that bothers me more.

One at 18, two at 21 and seven at 23 roughly.

Silvery grey that stand out a mile. Get the odd few on my chin.

russell664 · 31 May 2015 at 00:40

I was 17, and have a few more popping up more often and I'm not even 20 yet!

What did you do so awful in your past to turn into a ginger, you know it's no sun light for you soon and you should start to feel your soul slowly drifting away. My god have mercy on your soul!

He saw the opportunity and took it.

aslco · 31 May 2015 at 00:51

About 19, but i'm now almost 23 and still only have 10-15 dotted about.

dunker · 31 May 2015 at 01:25

started seeing white hairs just at the top of me ears area, around 42, 45 now and maybe 3 more white hairs? oh noes i is the ageing lol

i clip it at 3/8" anyway really don't want any style of hair, also longer it is greasier it gets and i repel rain well if my hair is unwashed.
