When did you start going grey?

Found my first grey hair age 19, second year at uni. I was devastated! However my mum (who had very dark brown/ black hair) found her first one at 15.

Nearly 30 years on my roots are now completely grey. I've not been my natural colour for well over 20 years though. I was red for a long time in the 90s, then went more light brown with highlights, back to reddy brown shades. A year ago I stripped and bleached my hair and am now quite a light blonde. The best bit is that I now can't see any roots at all because the grey blends into the blonde whereas when it was dark I was dyeing it every 6 weeks!

20 and I'm 43 now. I have been dyeing my hair since I was 16 and I tried to embrace it during lockdown but as soon as those hairdressers were open I was straight in there!

Mid 30’s.

Dyed my grey roots up until 5 years ago, then let myself go grey. It felt very liberating, not to mention the money saved in not having to fork out £50 every four weeks! I still have my natural darker hair in places, and the grey.

I’m 27 with no greys yet, my boyfriend is 30 this month and he’s salt and pepper

Update - found my first two today

I think I was about 42/43 (now 48) when I started to see some grey hair, I have always had highlights or brown hair, (dyed) however I decided last year I was going to embrace the greys, not that I have many. I mainly have them around the temples with a few scattered through the top. I wish I was greyer than I am, but it makes it easier to grow out and I don’t plan on cutting my hair short either, I follow a few grey haired ladies on Instagram and they have beautiful long grey hair, that would be my end goal.

26 when they started, I’m 40 now and about 75% grey and on a 4 week regime. Hate it! Going blonder to try and get it to blend but it’s a massive pain in my life! Very insecure about my hair, I’m too vain to let it go yet. Only plus side is it’s thick and apart from the greys I have a good head of hair.
