Do you have gray hairs?
And if yes, when did you find your first?
Most of my siblings have found a few grays at this point, including my youngest sister (23). But I have not, neither has one other sister. My brother refuses to believe this but I really have not. And they are not hiding in with the blonde either.
32, no grays.
Re: Do you have gray hairs?
So many grays - my parents and grandparents were all gray by their mid-30s. My first ones popped up at 22. I've been dying my hair ever since.
Mine are easy to spot even with color because they are really thick and wirey.
I used to have a Lilly Munster streak that used to happen, Now the grey is pretty much everywhere.
I've been coloring my hair for quite some time. I went to a dark auburn shade and I like it a lot.
I do not. Neither does my father at 56. He's starting to lighten up a little, but no grays. I take after him and have similar hair.
My twin sister looks more like my mother (who is completely gray) and she is finding strands.
Is it possible that you have the lightest hair? The theme on both sides of my family seems to be that the blondes hold on to their color longer.
I am SHOCKED. SHOCKED. I always thought you were one of the older people on the board.
Oh and yes, I have a couple grays. Like 3-5.
I have a few. Right now the ones on my head generally read more blonde-ish... but I've gotten gray pubes and gray mustache hairs (both of which I promptly tweezed, best believe) and those are totally unmistakable.
Or maybe I'm just in denial. I'd bet that if I colored my hair to the same shade I'd freak because it would show how gray I am. lol.
Nada. I'll be 30 this summer.
My mom has been salt and pepper since she turned 18. She has also dyed her hair since she was 18. She'll be 51 on Saturday.
My dad has zero grays. He's 52. My hair looks exactly like my dad's. His dad just turned 80... no grays for him either.
H is bald. Well, he has the Homer Simpson hair donut. DS' hair looks exactly like mine. I think he may have dodged a genetic bullet.

lol, she started finding grays at 27. She's not 27 NOW.
No. I'm also 32. They'd be noticeable because I'm a brunette.
BF is about 50% gray - the salt-and-pepper is sexy as hell. He's a year younger than me.
I think Tarpon meant that she got her first gray at 27. I believe her son is a 17 or so.
Unless I'm mixing people up again...

I'm 29 and have had 3 grays. Got my first 9 months ago.
My little bro is 25 and he started going gray at 19. He still has very little gray, but it's definitely noticeable. I think it makes him look distinguished. I'm also privately glad he got that gene instead of me. I haven't dyed my hair since I was 20.

Yep, all gray. I was all gray at about 35.
I'm 30. I have quite a few cropping up around my part. I'm to the point where I dye out of necessity instead of out of fun. Coworker BFF is convinced they're just super blonde... but they're gray.
I had a few for years but nothing you could really tell. This just started happening within the past 2 years.
My sister has had grays since she was about 15. My H is 33 and there is quite a bit of salt in his pepper! And it's HOTNESS!

None for me. I'm 27.
Mr. Bang is getting salt and peppery. Still mostly pepper, but the greys are definitely noticeable and sexy.
I started noticing them when I was pregnant...that was 24/25. I only had a few that I could notice and it stayed only a few until about 2 yrs ago at age 40. I still don't have a lot, but enough that I feel the need to cover them up now!
My mom and dad aren't that gray either and they are in their mid 60's, so I have hope!
No grey.
Because I dye my hair.
Started getting grey probably a few years ago. I'm going to be 38 on Saturday.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
yes a lot of it...started when i was 25 (like my mom) im probably 40% gray at this point...but im almost 50 so i guess it comes with the territory.
my dad didnt have any gray until he was in his late 60's
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you. My Blog
I had my first at about 20 (55 now). I started out auburn, and home colored until the grey streak was so intense it looked like I had taken a red magic marker to my head. I stayed grey (and now I am mostly grey) until about 2 years ago, when I went blonde thanks to my very first ever hairdresser appointment. (Now I go every five weeks.)
My mom went grey very early (teens, according to her) so the grey hair never bothered me, but I hated my first grey eyebrow hair. That bit.
My father is 85 and has a full head of nearly black hair. He might have 50 grey hairs, total.
My dad is a ginger and he used to have the Lilly Munster streak too, heh. We could pick him out of any crowd - bright red hair, white streak. Recently though the ginger is fading as more white pops up. It's so weird. He is probably about 50/50 red to white now, at 58.
Mr. Bang's dad on the other hand, who is 6 or 7 years younger than my dad, was 100% grey and going bald by 30. He now looks a lot like Einstein and when they vacation in FL everyone automatically gives him a senior discount, lol.
This is true. I'm 34 and haven't got a single one. My MIL is 61 and has only a few (and she does not color her hair).
