    I think I was around 28? I keep finding more and more of them and I am 30 right now. I don't dye my hair and it is naturally dark so those grey hairs stand out! :(

    39 and still no gray. I see a white one now and then in my beard, but I don't count that. It's albino.

    I don't have any gray hair on my head, yet. Then again, since I'm balding they probably are just falling out. But, I get this random, stand-out little f*cker of an eyebrow hair once in a while. It won't be there for weeks but suddenly, as if overnight, BAM the little *kitten* grows to three times the size of my other eyebrow hairs and is gray. It just pops up out of nowhere overnight.

    I don't have any yet. Hoping I got my grandmother's genes. She's 81 and doesn't have a single gray hair. And she's never dyed it because she thinks that's vain, so I'm pretty sure it's legit.

    27th birthday. Ugh. But then I started eating better and exercising better, reduced a lot of stress in my life and haven't seen one in about a year now.

    Whew I thought I was one of the few that got them early. About 26 for me, after birth of 1st child. I now color every 8-10 weeks. :(

    Not sure...there have been a few questionable "is it REALLY blond or is that a gray hair" instances...so I just plucked them so I could take a closer look...each time it has been inconclusive...so I'm going with REALLY blond....

    I was about 15-16. At 30, I had a full head of grey. Thank goodness for hair color. It is hereditary for me. My mother was the same way.

    I was 28 and working as an orthodontic assistant, putting braces on kids and adults. My hair is pretty light and my grey is pure white, so someday I will just be platinum.

    33, I got it this year.

    I've always said that once I start to grey, I'm going redhead. I'm going to find out if they really are sassy!

    Somewhere around 36-37 or so. I had a very stressful job at the time. I'm blonde, so nobody but me notices any gray.

    16 and by 30 it was complete and I was best friends with bottle blonde and then finally said screw it. I get more compliments on my natural hair than when it was colored from a bottle :laugh:

    I noticed my first grey hair in my mid 20's. They really started coming in in my 40's. I'm 50 now and the grey is coming in at a much faster speed.

    My hair color does not bother me in the least, in fact, I love it! I made a conscious decision early on that I would never color my hair and try to hide the grey. I get so many compliments from both men and women alike. Surprisingly, most of the compliments I receive are from young men in their 30's.

    This pic was taken in July of last year and really shows how the greys are more prominent in the front. My husband calls the white streak on the left side my "feature". :happy:
