    I'm 27 and about 2 months ago I found my first one. It's freaking awesome. I always thought the women in my family looked beautiful with their long wavy grey hair.

    36 or 37, but mine are white too... And now I have a "tuft" of white, right in the front... I dye about every 5 or 6 months, because I hate losing my highlights...

    I first noticed it when I was 18 and was curling my hair for my prom. My hair is probably 25% gray now. I thought it was more, but that's what the hairdresser says. It just looks like highlights until recently, now I cover it with highlights.

    This is a downer but I remember exactly when.
    I was 25 and 3 months pregnant and lost the baby. Maybe it was grief, who knows, but all of the sudden I had like 50 of them.

    I think its funny how big of an age range has replied. Some people got their first one at 46, some at 12. Jeeze

    Birth

    Better than being bald?? LOL

    I was about 19 and it was just a stray hair here and there. Now I go every 3-4 weeks to get them touched up. And I'll keep doing that until I can't afford it anymore. I'd rather do that than be bald tho!

    Screw you.

    30ish. currently 40 and i still don't have a lot but there'e enough for it to be noticeable, on the hair that is receding, also my hair is alot stiffer then it use to be

    i'm doomed genetically speaking either way, my father is bald, my mother has a big balding spot and my older brother is almost there. and my cousin went grey at age 18 then bald by early 20's

    certainly lifestyle has alot to do with it, i had a full head of hair and no grey hairs til i started working the fast paced high aggrivation jobs i've had the last 10yrs

    Bald or grey on men can be sexy Paul.

    5th grade. By my junior year of college I was dyeing it. I have ever since (20 years later).

    Was 16 when I noticed my first ones. Didn't bother me till the ones on my chest turned grey. But as long as they are turning grey and not turning lose I will be fine. Started to dye them but my wife doesn't want me to. Says she likes to run her fingers through them. I am 53 now and she is 21 years younger than I am.We have been together since she was 20 and have been married for 11 of those years so if she likes it than I'm certainly not going to worry about it.
