      Just this year, so 38. Not bad because my mom started turning grey in her mid 20's.

      I found my first and only white hair when I was 22. I was amused and have kept it. No one else seems to have noticed and I don't mind if they do.

      I was 33 - bright shining white though not grey and oddly it was in my eyebrow! Plenty of them now but still refusing to dye my hair because I am fair anyway and I like white :)

      I was 28. I'm blond,so they blend, because they are platinum, in my case. Mo mothers were battleship grey. I like mine. :smile:

      About 1, I guess. My mom told me that when I lost my baby hair and it grew in brown, there were three white hairs on my head. And the count only increased with age. Now? Some grey in my beard, a little dark brown on my head, but all (that's left of) the rest is silver.

      I remember my Mom finding one in my hair when I was in first grade!

      Then I got another 1-2 when I was about 20.

      Now I'm 29 and so far, so good.

      I don't think I have any yet & I'm 34.

      I, on the other hand, have very very thin hair, sucks!

      42, but 3 years on and still not a huge amount, just the sides and a streak in the front about an inch wide, but you only see them when hair needs redying

      HaHa! I think I was about 22, I'm 40 now, not only is my hair now fully grey, it's now getting white in places, When I my huge weight came off, not only did I look in better shape, my hair became greyer at the same time...
