When I was 18 and my now wife was the one that noticed them so I don't know how long I had them, have a few below, and in my facial hair and on my head, she plucks them all, she thinks its funny.

It is hereditary. My grandad was white haired when he was in his forties. So was his brother. It had nothing to do with their "real age" as both were very long-lived. I started to turn grey in my forties as well, but am still not too grey even in my sixties. I have a cousin younger than I who was completely grey before forty. He is very healthy and "young", however. Men are different as to facial hair, as well. Some men are "greybeards" long before their head hair turns grey. The reverse can also be the case.

I have had the occasional grey hair from when I was 18, but they are few and far between.
My dad on the other hand has so much grey hair now you are blinded by it.

23 or 24. They don't bother me, but I'm vain about going bald. My hairline started to recede the year after the greys kicked in, but it's slowed since I stress less. Hopefully it doesn't kick in again or I'll end up stressing over the transplant I'll NEVER be able to afford. Probably end up crying alot, possibly even in public.

I'm starting to get them now, and I'm in my 30s. I'm not that bothered by them, as long as I have my health, which is the most important thing. Besides, I can't stop myself from aging, so why worry about it?
by Spicy Hot on August 25th, 2009
Early 30's.
I like to call them silver highlights.
by wendyc on September 4th, 2009
I just started getting them last year at 33, and nope they don't really bother me yet, I am the only one who notices them.
by Emmtee on October 12th, 2009
I just turned 45, and I've only had them the last couple of years. I have dark blonde hair with medium blonde highlights, so they aren't very noticeable. Still, I pluck them whenever I see them. They seem to appear when I'm stressed. It doesn't bother me because I consider myself very fortunate to have maintained my hair color as long as I have. If I left it alone, it would probably become like my mother's - a mix of blonde/grey that gives an overall appearance of ash blonde.

Does dying your hair a lot make it turn grey sooner in life?

But it's hereditary, my dad was 18 when he first started getting them.
