What was your reaction when you spotted your first grey hair? How old were you?

I didn't find it. Someone else did for me. That's embarrassing! I can't remember if I plucked it out or left it there. Since then I have a few more. But they are always here & there. I just leave them there. It's part of growing older and part of life. I'm a redhead & I hear that redheads get a real mousey color to them as they grey. So we'll see if I end up dying my hair later on!

I was 12 and all i did was plucked it
I guess i was stressed havent seen any lately
and im 17 now

Well i was in my twenties when my first grey hair came through and yes i was thinking now haw many more grey hairs are going to turn up.I put a colour on my hair and when that started to wear out there was more.

I'm 40 now and I found them about two years ago. But I knew it would be early cuz my dad went grey when he was in his thirties. I usually dye it cuz I don't want to look old at 40. But grey hair doesn't hold color well and I usually have to redye it every two or three months. I have five kids so I know that has contributed to the color change!

Lol welcome to mylot, that was 11 years earlier, my cute wife pointed it to me, it was on the area near the right ear lobe, i asked her to pull it out, but lol it was a recurring phenomenon, how many can be removed, now i use a dye.
Thank you so much for this discussion. I enjoyed responding it keep sharing, cheers
Happy posting.

I think having grey hair is hereditary. On my mom's side, they had grey hair even if they were still very young. Me, too I had it in my early twenties. I didn't notice it though, a close friend had seen it, plucked it and showed it to me. Too bad, I inherited my mom's genes not that of my father's. On my father's side, they don't have grey hair even if they were already old. My late aunt, who was the older sister of my father was already very old that time, yet you can't see even a single grey hair from her. Well, right now I'm dying my hair. I have no choice. I don't want to look that old. I guess, I still can't accept it.
