What was your reaction when you first saw in the mirror that grey hair was starting to come out of your head. Did you feel scared or worried that age was catching up on you? Please tell me your experience.

my husband started going grey when he was still in high school. before too long i am going to say his hair is salt and peppered. The reds in his beard are now coming in as grey's. He claims that i have given him every single one. I found only one, right after my now two year old was born. I was slight dismayed, but have not found any since.

I thought I was way too young to get grey hair the first time that I saw it. It showed up when I was a teenager, late teens in fact. So it was quite distressing for me. When I calmed down and actually did some research, it turned out that I was not alone. There are a lot of people who have grey hair at a younger age. It just turns out that a lot of them dye it, which I do not agree with but that's just me.

My first grey hairs appeared when I was at school. I remember sitting in the playground whilst my school friends pulled them out for me! If I pulled them all out now, I´d be bald! I started dying my hair whilst I was still at school and continued for many years, but I´ve given up now.

I was like "Yeah!!" I can be wise now! ACtually my hair is turning a little faster now that I hit the half a century mark! It's getting dryer hard to figure out what to do with it too! But it's better than all the oil! lol!

you know what, I got white hair in my early 20 already, and I just can't do anything about it. Probably I need to dye my hair sooner or later. I won't feel freak out or anything like that. That is the natural process I guess. I got this inherited from my dad, and it is basically within in my gene already.

I started getting grey hair after the birth of my two sons, and they have given me quite a bit more! I pull them out whenever I see them (vain, I know). I still don't have too many, and I have a lot of hair on my head, so they're hidden pretty well. I suppose I will have to start getting highlights pretty soon, but am holding off for as long as possible. I actually like the color and texture of my natural hair, and don't want to dye it!
