I'm 50 this yr
and I've a peppering of grey hairs that I colour into the rest
.

But I've just had to pluck out a grey eyebrow hair


Actually it's not the grey hairs that you have to watch. As you get older eyebrows start getting long thick hairs in them, so as well as plucking you have to trim them too


Still I'm only 18 at heart.

My bf Max went to work a few weeks ago and all these people were coming up to him and saying, `Wow look at all your grey hairs in your beard how come we've never noticed them before??' As it turns out he had been giving lots of love and head butts to Princess before work and she had shed her silver fur all through his beard - he had to go and groom himself before he looked his age again!

I found my first grey hair in my early twenties, and now have a few of the little blighters! My dad is still mostly dark haired in his mid-fifties, but my mother was totally grey in her thirties. I take after my dad mostly, so fingers crossed I do about this too!

I found my first, and hopefully only, grey hair last year when I was 23. I freaked out...I told my bf it was because of all the stress he has put me through
I have my hair highlight now (carmel streaks) so my one hair has been dyed, which I will continue to do if anymore of the little buggers pop up.

Actually, thinking all this over, how do you think I feel? I'm not yet 50 but my son is 30, and he's getting a lot of grey hairs.


What's worse, going grey or having a grey haired child.....discuss.....

my mother and father claim that i gave them every single one of their gray hairs.... kinda funny... cuz my dad is bald... so i guess i was so bad that i not only turned their hair colors, but i made it fall out
I found my first grey hairs when I was around 20, too. It freaked me out! But I dye my hair so it doesn't really matter. Only problem: with three other people in my home it's hard to find a time to color my hair (in the bathroom). I think it's cool if women or men want to go naturally grey but not at 29!

Turning loose is worse than turning grey, and when the years pile up, it turns loose you-know-where first, but I don't guess that's bad, 'cause I could never figure what good it did, anyway.

Why don't cats get gray with age ? (in cat years)

Under the cats, mostly.
sweetie, you've got nothing to worry about! I've been getting grey hair since I was 17!! And yes, that was stress related. I pull them out or dye over them
mum's been going grey since she was about 35, and dad... well he hasn't got any to go grey. I think you're just fine!

I had grey hairs start to show up about 3-4 yrs ago, and I just keep on doing the highlight thing to cover it up...
