GRAY HAIR?! Yeah I found a few, more like, my brother said, "Hey.. you do have gray hair, go look in the mirror!" Well, I suppose I should highlight my hair soon...
Oh man. This is what I get from being stressed out a lot and having a bad temper... also, I worry too much as well.:eek:
Paul found his first grey hair at age 17! His hair is so dark it is almost black, so it really stood out! I didn't see my first until I was 28.
I found my first gray hair at 19! Luckily seven years later I still only have a handful. I tend to just leave them alone because they are not too noticeable (I think).
I found my first one at 18. My father was completely silver by the time he was 25. :eek:
I started using Henna. It is healthy for your hair and colors the gray just enough to look like highlights -- and it's not permanent.
I get them too.. and I'm 24. I'll usually find one up towards the front... And pull it out! Can't let it spread!! =) Got one a month or so ago when J broke her leg... I get them every so often really.. If its not one thing.. its the other. =)
I started getting them at 24 or so. Now I'm 37 and have a good bit above my ears and widows peak. Everyone says I don't look my age so I think I'll keep them, LOL. I can always put on a ballcap
Actually, I think it's just genetic. My brother's hair was probably 25% grey when he died at age 26. I started getting grey hairs at about 26 as well.
I have actually the least grey hair at my age of anyone in my family, but they started young. It just looks like highlights, I actually get lots of compliments on my hair and people are always asking me who did my great highlights. Ummm ... God.
Shoot, I saw my first grey hair at age 16. Mine's genetics, though, 100%. My mother wasn't even 40 when her hair was completely silver. :) Thank goodness for hair dye!
There are worst things than gray hair, one being no hair. I was 40 before mine got really noticeable. I think premature gray is attractive and do not recommend coloring. Seravieve, I do not recommend pulling out the gray ones, there comes a point where it is a losing battle and usually leads to baldness.:D
You're so lucky, I found my first one at 17. I've been a variety of colors since then. Color is so much fun, it doesn't have to be a permanent thing, I change mine up every 5-6 weeks cause I get bored and it's fun.
I had major streaks of gray by the age of 23 and my sister was totally gray at 17! Our parents on the other hand didn't gray until they both were in their 70's. We say that instead of giving our parents gray hair, they gave it to us and if you knew our parents, you'd totally understand. :eek: My ex-SIL's hair was almost completely white in her 20's and it earned her the nickname "Snowball".
I really don't remember when I found my first one - somewhere in my 20's. And now at 65 I have a whole lot. I don't dye my hair, since I like the way it looks as it is. It's not an all over silver - mainly the top and sides, and it looks like it's been frosted or highlighted - not completely silver. Some women pay to get the look that Mother Nature gave me free of charge, and some people don't believe me when I tell them it's natural.
I don't really remember when I had my first one but I started coloring my hair in my mid-30's. Last year I decided I wanted to see how much gray I really had so I stopped coloring. Well, it turned out I had more than I wanted so over the weekend I started coloring again. It is all in how you feel about yourself. I was feeling older than I wanted to when I looked in the mirror. My dad has a beautiful head of pure white hair which he has had since he was in his 50's. Some women look very attractive with gray hair. I am not one of them ! :D
I started graying out in my 20s; I was working on my PhD and always told people, "I EARNED these!":D
That's what I tell people too. After raising 2 boys, I'm surprised that I'm not Snow White! :eek: :DQuote:
