Your first grey hair? I ask because I found mine today. I've been waiting...oh I've been waiting. I've been under an incredible amount of stress and I KNEW it was bound to bite me in the rear soon, that and I'm at "that age" where they tend to start coming around. I am almost 32, but was sooo not prepared to see that this morning. I even took a picture of it. It's sitting next to me as I type. Somehow I think if I analyze it deeply enough it will turn blonde. It's not working Tell me this isn't the beginning of the end and that I'm still young and vivacious, and it doesn't mean that my body will do nothing but deteriorate from now on. It's funny, I have only started to think about "aging" in the last year. I know I am still relatively young, but finding your first grey hair is shocking nonetheless. I could handle the little whisker that started presenting itself after my son was born, hormonal changes are ok. I pluck the little sucker out about once a month (it's really inconspicuous and grows slowly) and go about my business. But this is really bugging me!

Sugarbunz, don't feel bad I found my first one about 2 years ago and I won't be 33 until this July I've always had blonde highlights but now I get them religiously every 6 weeks.

I've always colored my hair, but my hairdresser, who is a dear friend, always notifies me when she finds one, then yanks it out! I think she found my first in my late 20s.
I have a dear (male) friend who is 33 and is now gray enough that you could actually call it salt and pepper. I just tell him it's better to be gray than bald!

Well, I found my first gray hair the day i found out that i was pregnant with my first child that would be at age 26. Still better then my step sister who was white by age 18.

I am only 21, will be 22 in April, and my mother has found three or four on me. The first one was three or four years ago. She is a beautican and says that it's not uncommon to find one or two a year on someone young. Don't panic, I'm sure he was all alone.

1 month before my 30th b-day i found not only 1 but a whole patch of gray hair. LOL

I was 19 when I found my first grey hair. I have seen 3 since then.

My husband has had a few for a while he tells me that they are not grey just "extra blonde" and I found the first one on me just recently and have found about 5 more since I have never coloured my hair but am seriously considering it if it gets worse. I am 32 (33 next month) and my DH is 32 as well, I used to think you have to be at least in your 40's before you started to get grey hairs but apparently not...

Gray hair I found my first when I was 25

I have been dying my hair since. I am only 36.

Oh well

I got mine around the age of 12 and so did my mom. I just figured here lately around 34 there is dye for this kinda thing.

I got my first few when I was about 18. Since then, I color it. My dad was completely grey by the time he was 40, I"m 42 now so I'd hate to see what my "real" hair color is.

Thanks to modern technology aka the box of color I have no idea what my hair color is. However, I have found a few and I am 28. You are still young and wonderful. There is no need to dwell. I say if you want to dye your hair, throw away that hair and get your purse and go buy the wonderful box and never see gray again!

You guys are all BABIES! Grey hair doesn't make you old, ya sillies! Look at how young some of you are when you got it!
I'm going to be 47 and I haven't had a grey hair yet. My mom is 71 and is just starting to look grey. So, it doesn't really mean a thing, does it?

hhmm....I think I found my first one when I was 27 and I am about to turn 29 in April. I might sound weird but I was/am proud of mine. In fact I would not pluck it out! Since then I have found one more so I have two total but I have not checked for them so I might have more. For some reason it just isn't that big of a deal to me.

I'm waiting for my first to show up but I'm hoping that I take after my mother and they don't show until late 30s or early 40s. She dyes her hair just like her mother and I plan on being just like my mommy.
My brother is 33 and has had gray hairs for at least 3 years, my dad started graying early too.
I'm almost 28 and if I get any before my husband I'll never hear the end of it.

I found my first gray a year ago, when I was 31. My hsuband was going over our financial investments with our insurance guy in the other room. I didn't know if I should rush into the room and announce my find, but thought he doesn't seem like a funny guy. So, for the next 45 minutes I held my gray hair in my fingers and waited to share my excitement with my hubby until the door was closed and they pulled out of the driveway. I can't say I have seen any more, but it was right in the front.

My hubby laughed, but he got his first gray at 29 and he refers to it as going blond again. It's funny, he had a harder time losing his blond hair than going gray. He should be completely grey around 40 like his dad.

I have gone back to my original color the past 3 years to appreciate it before it is gone. I had colored my hair blond for 8 years and surprisingly liked the brown color it is now. Lifes funny!

I was 26. I discovered it while I was going through my divorce. I am 33 years old now, and they are all over the place.

First grey hair never worried me - used to pay nephews to search and pull them out. Now my first line (a small vertical one between my eyebrows... that was a different matter.

I found my first gray hair 6 months ago, and I am only 20. Ahhhhhhh. Since then I've seen 2 others, which are gone now. I have alot of stress so I KNEW it would happen. That and maybe some genetics.

about a year ago.... but they dont worry me, it's the red top layer I hate..... it looks like I dyed my hair red once and you can see my brown roots.... it's that red that make me want to color my hair and I do often....except for now I went and got it cut and highlighted this past weekend.... it's not as noticeable now..

Same as ThumperBunny~ I was twelve. My best friend (she's 16) dyes her hair regularly to cover up all her grays. They were really noticable against her dark hair.

I just turned 30 in February, and they just started to show up everywhere right after my birthday. I dh highlight it for me last night to cover them all up. I've never totally colored my hair, but if these are still visible with the highlights, I'll be searching for the perfect color from a box soon! I always said I wouldn't dye my hair until I started to go gray, but I didn't think I would be 30 either

I had my first ones at 22 almost all gray by 28.Thank God for bleach! My Mom's 72 and has just a few................ is life fair?
