Poll: Gray Hair

Naylon's hair color post last week and the responses got me to thinking ...

Re: Poll: Gray Hair

  • I have more than a few randoms, but they aren't in a solid chunk, and I wouldn't call myself salt 'n pepa... way to be a SS Trickey.

    Seriously, it's getting gray. So much I can't keep up with it.

    My mother was all gray by the time she was 35, I am afraid I am in the same boat. Thing is she has blonde hair and it's so much easier to cover/hide. My dark brown locks mean years of dye.

  • My mom is 53 and has only gotten a few gray hairs. I'm hoping I follow in her footsteps!

  • My dad went darn near to 50 without grays, whereas my Mom was gray by 30.  My brother started getting grays right after his divorce (29), but I don't think my sister gets any (31). So...its up in the air.  So far, I'm safe.

  • I started noticing my first grays about 2 years ago at 27 and now, I have a pretty large chunk of gray on the right side of my head. I thought that being blonde I'd be able to avoid coloring my hair for a while, but the chunk is pretty noticeable and it bugs me.

  • I have yet to find a gray hair... thank goodness!  My mom at 53, still only has a few gray hairs, so maybe I have some good genetics on my side!

    Read Jennrs post after I made this one.... funny how we posted the same thing! 

  • None for me yet. My dad has gotten a little salt and pepper around his temples, and my mom colors regularly (though I think she's just salt and pepper on top too). My dad's didn't show up until his 50's, though, and I have no idea when my mom started coloring her hair to cover the gray (as opposed to just coloring it for the color), maybe mid-40s?

    Paul has started getting a couple white hairs here and there, though, and he has one little spot on his chin about the size of a pencil eraser that went white over the summer. It's pretty noticeable when he has a couple days worth of beard growth (he only shaves maybe once or twice a week) so it's pretty funny.

  • Only a few grays post Landon. LOL. Stress or hormones?

    This is me.... it came out right after Madeline was born (hormones perhaps?)  Then again, my aunt has one in the same spot, and so did my grandmother, so I think it's just some family sharing.  I've definitely turned to dye/highlights to hide it at this point.

  • I know I have some, but usually keep my hair colored so I don't see them often. I've had gray strands in there since high school. A friend, who sat behind me in a boring class, would find them and make fun of me.

  • I found one white hair the other day and it freaked me out. My hair is pretty much black right now so it stuck out and was half white half black. I don't know what that was all about. 

    Beyond that I have never had any. 

    Happiest place on Earth!

  • I'm 36 and find one or two every now and then.  I always seem to notice them in the mirrors on the ATM.  That must make for some interesting security footage - me yanking out the white hairs.  My hairdresser said to cut them and not pull though.

  • I have no gray hairs yet (knocking on wood). I'm sure they'll be making their appearance soon enough though!

  • I think I may have a few randoms when I find them. I have so many colors in my hair that nothing really stands out as grey. I have found one once and a while and pluck it
