I have dark brown hair.... </p> <p>Kate Middleton has grays! And wrinkles too...and she's gorg! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1562234 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:47:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1562234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 28 and have been pulling gray hair for years, but in the last 2 years I have REALLY noticed how bad it's gotten. If I didn't color my hair I would be probably 15% gray at this point. And of course they always pop up right in front! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1562178 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:28:43 +0000 snowjewelz 1562178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 29 and maybe once every two months I notice 1. My parents I would say grey normal... My mom dyes her hair so I have no idea how grey it really is haha. My dad is almost all grey at 60. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1562170 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:25:41 +0000 Mae 1562170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 29 and I've noticed a couple grey hairs but not too many. My dad went grey really early (in his 30s, as did his mom). My mom is 55 and she has a decent amount of grey, but is still less grey than brown (and she dyes it anyways). I've dyed my hair since I was in 7th grade anyways (I have brown hair, dye it red). So I assume I"ll probably continue on with that regardless of grey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1562150 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:20:43 +0000 alohaorchid 1562150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found one at 28, and now I'm a few months away from 30 and I haven't found any more yet. My hair is mostly natural (deep, dark brown) so I want to go with my natural colour for as long as possible.... as soon as I see another grey I will be dying my hair for the rest of my life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548655 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:11:04 +0000 MrsKoala 1548655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: your hair does grow fast! I think I have about one inch of grey. I wish I could do it at home. I used to and then it started looking wonky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548615 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:44:42 +0000 Bookish 1548615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26 and the only ones I've found have been in my eyebrows. Weird! I yanked them out :silly: I'm grateful for genetics in this case; my mom and dad are 60 and both just recently started going grey, and in my dad it's only at his temples. </p> <p>DH doesn't have any, but his beard has these crazy white/clear hairs that have started to sprout up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548604 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:34:08 +0000 LindsayInNY 1548604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 30 and none yet. I know my mom grayed young and has dyed it since. My dad is hardly gray. DH is gray around the temples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548599 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:30:51 +0000 mrs. bird 1548599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: i had to start doing it myself because i just couldn't afford to keep it up in the salon. my hair must grow really fast because i would have like 3" gray roots if i went 10wks! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548590 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:26:27 +0000 MrsKoala 1548590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I usually go every 5-6 weeks purely to cut down on costs. I haven't colored it in 10 weeks now and I look horrible. I've been pulling it up so it's less noticeable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548571 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:18:38 +0000 mrs. bird 1548571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: me too (at 29)! how long can you go between coloring it? at this point i have to do it ~ every 3 wks :bummed: 3</p> <p>the top of my head, so the part people see, it's 75% gray, underneath there's no gray. i won't mind being gray when i'm older, but it ages me so much, i'm not ready to let it be for now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548556 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:11:25 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1548556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 19 when I first noticed a gray hair. I'm 22 and have 3 or 4 that I know of. I just leave them. My mom just turned 40 last year &amp; if she didn't dye her hair she would be entirely gray...&amp; that statement would be true of the last few years. Oh, genetics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548548 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:04:42 +0000 looch 1548548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am almost 40 and I have a few white hairs. I just got my hair cut and my stylist said she'll tell me when I need to start coloring.</p> <p>FWIW, my mom has very few grays at 60 but my father was almost completely gray before age 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548347 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 17:00:08 +0000 MrsH 1548347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>32 and no white hairs yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548321 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 16:40:53 +0000 birdofafeather 1548321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 30 but dye my hair blond, so I don't see any yet!

Or at least they blend in. My wife who has dark hair started getting them at 25 and has "too many to pluck" now at 27. I think they look handsome on her. :)</p> <p>I think my mom started getting significantly grey around 45. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548255 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:45:46 +0000 NCSUchick27 1548255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any grey hair yet, but DH has a lot and he is only 31. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548213 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:02:16 +0000 mrsrain 1548213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for your responses! I am glad I'm not alone...<br /> I am torn on whether to color my hair or just go natural. In general I am not someone who spends a lot of time/money on my hair, so while I am not exactly ready to embrace the grey I am not sure I have it in me to keep on top of coloring my hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548204 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 14:49:55 +0000 rachiecakes 1548204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After giving birth I started to get more white hairs than ever before (I'm a redhead).<br /> Now I get highlights to blend/disguise the white hairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548127 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 13:37:06 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1548127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like in the last year or so (I'll be 31) it started to get really noticeable. I dye my hair every 8 weeks, but I let it go too long and I was really surprised at how much grey I have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548124 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 13:35:48 +0000 BadgerMom 1548124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 28 now and pretty salt and pepper, mostly in the front. I used to color it but I haven't in about two years. My dad was completely gray in his 30s, and I found my first gray hair around 13... It looks like I'll be going gray a little slower than he did, but I'm definitely on the path. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548115 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 13:24:30 +0000 yoursilverlining 1548115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 32 now and color my hair to mask grays....I've had too nun to pluck since my late 20's. My mom rocked silver because she had naturally super blond hair so silver just made her hair look eaitifly frosted. </p> <p>My husband is 48 and has all of like 2 gray hairs. Infuriates me lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548086 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 13:02:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1548086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>31, no gray yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548084 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 13:02:09 +0000 MrsF 1548084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had lots of grey hair since college. I've been coloring it for years now. My mom and my Dad's mom were both grey very early so I'm sure it's not helpful that I'm getting it from both sides (although my sister has NO greys as far as I can tell). </p> <p>I get it colored every 4-5 weeks (such a waste of time and money!) and every time I go my colorists says she can't believe how bad my roots are :( My hair is SO grey and grows SO fast. I'm sure there are worst afflictions but I really hate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548078 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 12:55:43 +0000 pui 1548078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 27. I have one grey hair, but I didn't bother pulling it since it blends in to my hair pretty well anyway.</p> <p>Both my dad and my sister were 80% grey before they turned 20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548074 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 12:51:45 +0000 mlm2934 1548074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 28, and I think I've found about 3 over the past year. So not a lot, but it's at least starting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548066 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 12:44:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1548066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You sound just like me! I found my first one at 18! I am 24 now and I have to keep up with getting my hair colored because it's actually become noticeable now. </p> <p>My dad was fully grey before 35 as well. My grandparents have had white hair for as long as I can remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548063 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 12:42:10 +0000 Mrs tartan 1548063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 27 and still none yet, long may that continue! DH has none either and is 33, his father is almost 60 and has about 3, all of their family has amazing thick hair that seems to stay coloured forever. I'm sure ill be grey long before he is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-grey-or-white-or-silver#post-1548044 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 12:22:35 +0000 Dandelion 1548044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sprouted my first gray hair at 25, when I was pregnant with DS. I have light brown hair, so right now, they just give some natural highlights around the edge of my hair line. Sometimes I color my hair. </p>
