    I'm rather surprised I haven't found one yet! I'll turn 44 this year ... wow, feeling old as I write that. I see plenty of my friends that have had to color. I have colored, but not for grey ...

    I was about 25. That is when I stopped dyeing my hair and let my hair grow out and chopped off all the dyed stuff! I do not see them as something bad. I think they are beautiful.

    My sister was 12. Her daughter was 5.

    Around 24 years old. I'm now 51 and it's coming in at a good clip.

    I am 47 now and just yesterday when I got my hair cut, she commented that I had a few grey's starting to come in on the crown of my head. There were about 6 or 7 so I guess it's starting?

    Sometime in my early 30's. I'm nearly 50, and I still don't have very many, though, so I guess I'm lucky.

    25, I think.

    Was very concerned that I would end up like my father who started going grey at 15 and by the age I am now had a mop of white hair.

    25 - hubby says I have a "fetlock" now; daughter pulls them from the back of my head. I like my slivers and earned them all!

    19, right after the first baby was born. But when I was 4, I promised my Granddaddy that when I got "old" like him (he was probably 55 at the time), if I had pretty white hair like his, I would never color it. Well, it's white like Granddaddy's, so now I'm about only 3/4 brown and 1/4 white. "Ah, well, a touch of grey...."

    Early 30s I think. I'm developing a cruella deville style strip of greys at the front - none anywhere else. I started plucking them out at first & then decided I would rather have a few greys than a bald patch. Hairdresser disguises it amongst blond highlights most of the time:-)

    I'm 28, none yet. My husband got his first grey hairs during boot camp. :laugh:

    I'm amused that this was bumped today. Found my first grey hair yesterday. :laugh:
