    31, I found it on our first trip to Disneyland. It was traumatic, I yanked the sucker out!

    22. I'm not even mad about it. Mom had her first one at age 12.

    I was probably 16 or 17. I'm 25 now and have a little silver all through the crown of my head.

    RushBabe's hair rocks. I'm loving that confidence too. I'm perfectly fine with growing out greys when I'm of that age myself!

    My first gray hairs came in my mid to late 30's - I'm 41 now. It's really only a few and they don't bother me enough to color my hair. <shrug>

    40. Turned 45 this year. Being healthy is helping me fight off the grey.

    I had gray hairs poking through when I was 15. Now, I am 31, don't color my hair and never see any. I guess I had a really stressful teen experience.

    Beautiful!
    I am guessing this is how my natural color would look. I started going grey at age 19. I have 30-50 greys along the top of my head. Thanks mom! :grumble:

    17. I got my first gray hair years before my mom got her first gray. Thanks Dad!

    I was 12...i can remember my mother plucking out the hairs in church. I started dying my hair around that time too. It's hereditary, my mom's cousin went completely grey by the time she was 15.

    Stress related, found one last year right before I turned 20... My boyfriend found it and pointed it out and laughed, and now I'm laughing at his patches of gray in his beard that appeared randomly... He's 25.

    I have no idea. I've been coloring my hair since high school. And I'm not sure if I have any grey hair yet. I'm not terribly motivated to find out. ;)

    Like, 23. I now have a nice little grey streak in the front that looks like an intentional dye job. Of course, I don't plan to ever dye my hair, I am happy with it no matter how grey it gets.

    I had one single gray hair on my head on my 23rd birthday. I didn't see another for years and years. But now I color my hair so I plan to remain completely and totally oblivious to the number of gray hairs I may or may not have. FOREVER.
