    I was born with a grey hair!! Developed a grey streak at 13, then started to increase number of greys in my mid-20's....

    i'm 33 now and i noticed my first one a few years ago. maybe 30? or 29? not too sure, i've been pretty much constantly dying my hair since i was 12 so...maybe it was a delayed noticing.

    Mine started late 30s . I dyed it or highlighted for years until I got fed up so I grew it out about 4 years ago . Now no-one believes this is my actual real hair colour !!!

    Edited to say that my eyebrows never went grey and are still my original dark brown colour ... Wierd ??

    16.... but they were few and far between. I didn't start really noticing a pattern o SEVERAL grays until around 39. I'm 41 and still only a few dozen gray hairs at my temples.

    11 or 12. When I was in seventh grade, my friends used to pull them out of my head during chorus. No lie.

    21. I am 24 now...with a cluster of about 8 right on the top of my head. I am sure there is more, but I dye often.

    About 39 I think. Still don't have a lot to show for it though.

    20, just like, single streak on my fringe. Stayed the same , maybe few more silvery glimpses here and there but i dont mind, dont care. Rest of the mane overwhelms it and the fringe thing looks coool ;D

    I was around 19 or so. Started coloring at 20. Let it grow out about a year or so ago to see what was going on. Salt and pepper with solid streak about an inch wide up by my temple. Needless to say...I colored again.

    12

    I was 12...that was the beginning of hair dying for me. When my mother took me to church, she used to make me sit in front of her so she could pluck the greys out of my hair. My grandpa told her to stop because 2 more will grow. I blame her for my self consciousness.

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

    EXACT same answer here.

    I had the occasional grey hair from 17-26 and then at 27 got patches at my temples. Honestly though, now at 37 it hasn't increased all that dramatically in the past 10 years. I do color my hair though.

    My dad was salt & pepper at 25 and silver haired by 40. My mom is 63 and has less grey than I do!

    I'll enjoy my full head of greying locks . . .
