How old were you when you started graying?

Not sure if there is already a poll for this, I couldn't fine one, but my apologies if there is. So how old were you when you first started noticing gray/silver hairs? I've been noticing a few bright silvers lately and I'm 20. I know it varies greatly and has plenty to do with genetics, just a poll of curiosity!

I was about 16.

I don't have any idea! I either colored it or didn't notice, but have plenty of gray now.

Either 18 or 19 which the poll has no option for

though they're all white hairs

which I think is neat and I love them.

When my grays were coming in in kind of like a "pattern", I was around 40. They still are sparse and scattered evenly throughout, as if a salt-shaker was on it. I think I'm 1-2% gray. Not much. I don't know if you can call that "graying" already. But the start is there.

About 35 the time I finally leg all the dye how out and was all natural. Then started dyeing again. I have lots in my temples and the top of my head, seems like new hairs are grey I'm 42 now.

I think I got my first grays at around 25. Years later, my mom looked at me one day and said with amazement, "You have gray hair!" I pointed out that I had had gray for 10 years or more, but I think she was just surprised to suddenly notice how much gray I had.

I don't really consider myself to be "graying" but the first gray hairs (around my temples only, so far) are definitely there. (I guess I'm a little bit in denial

)
I was in my late twenties, 28 or 29, when I spotted the first ones

There aren't that many more now (I'm 32 now) but they're here to stay, I guess

hahaha.

My beautician courteously showed me my first gray hairs when I was around 40. At that time, I was rockin' SL hair that I kept in a pony - my variation was my choice of the elastic color ....
