- NEW!
by kittymomma on June 28th, 2008
YES! I started getting gray hair at 16, and I am 38 now with a TON of it! I inherited that from my dad, who was completely gray by 30... lucky me! Men look much better with gray than women do!! That reminds me, I need to color my hair this weekend....

Not me, but my grandmother was a redhead and her hair was totally white by the time she turned 21. She dyed it for years but finally gave up around 45.
My brother started going bald at 16, now, at 35 he has a hugely receeded widow's peak and a big ol' monkey's ass on the back of his head, lol.
I think the balding would be way worse, so if you're going grey, don't worry about it, just buy a box of dye and be glad you have hair left ;)

Yes I did and still do, growing old gracefully.

No, but I started losing hair at 19 and was almost totally bald by 22.

yes i did.
If your first white hair is due to premature graying you have limited options to slow it down and will have to get used to camouflage soon. There is no remedy to reverse premature or age-related graying process no matter how old you are. It is sad but true. But your gray hair could also be due to other more serious conditions which can not be diagnosed here

Grey-free in my 20's!

Yes, my hair started getting grey when I was 26, I'm now 51 and it's as white as Santa's. EVERYBODY in my family is/was prematurely grey.

I noticed my first grey hair when I was 20. There was a footballer called Fabrizio Ravanelli, He was born in 1968 and started getting grey hair when he was in his teens. By the time he reached 20+ his hair was completely grey.

Yes, I did. In my early 20s, when I was in college, I found my first stray grays. By the time I was 25 or so, I had a big gray streak and started dying my hair. I had more gray than my mother! I'm now 45 and still dye my hair (and still have more gray hair than my mom, who will be 70 in a couple of weeks!).
