    Don't feel bad, I started going WHITE in middle school.
    Routine for my dyed mid back length hair: shampoo and condition twice a week, with Alterna Kendi Dry Oil Spray all over and shea butter on ends and lightly on length as leave-ins on wet hair, and blow dried with a Sedu on low heat

    I had my first around that age. I am 40 now and only have a few. No telling what will happen!

    I am 25. I have a little bundle of gray hairs, about 20 in one spot on the side of my head. I call it my skunk streak. Same as my mother had when she was my age. My dad was fully gray by 40, my mom the same. I am embracing my dark brown as much as possible now since I will one day lose it.

    Just when I was growing out my natural color from henndigo.

    Why cruel genetics why? If it goes anything like my mom I will be totally gray by 30.

    Anybody else find this horrifying?
    No. I don't find this horrifying at all.

    I started going grey at 16 and now at age 39 I'm a PROUD silver-haired lady. I am thankful for my genetic blessings. I love my silver hair

    I'm sorry that silver strand caused you such angst

    I got white hairs scattered all over the place, and I'll be 25 next month. It's all right; most people won't even notice until you point it out, and even then they'll be like, "Really? Where? ...Oh, I can barely see them." lol

    I wouldn't be sad if I went all gray prematurely. I'd let it happen.

    I'm 25 and I have some scattered around as well. I don't think it's a bad thing. I work in a salon, and most people in their 20's I have seen have grey hairs. It's quite normal.

    I've got several friends in their early 20s with a lot of gray hair (I'm taking their word for it, they all dye it)
    When I was 17 I had a friend of the same age who was about 50% gray.

    I'm 20 and I have quite a few grey hairs. I was really bloody excited when I found them because they're a really pretty silvery grey colour that I kinda love.

    Don't let your grey hairs get you down. If there are only a few no one but you is ever going to notice them. My family/partner had to look really hard to se my couple of grey hairs and that was when I was actively pointing them out.
