Default When did your hair start to grey?

I'm just curious about this, as I'm wondering if I'm technically in the "premature greying" class. How many CPers have noticeable grey hair, and at what age did you first notice it? I'm 27, will be 28 in a couple of months and I would guess my hair has been slowly starting to grey for about a year or so. It's not overly noticeable, just mainly in my sideburns and some spots on the side of my head. I'm actually not even all that concerned because A) I'll take salt and pepper over Mr. Clean and B) It's kind of funny. That said, it could all be a result of some of the medications I take.

Right about when my daughter was born.

In all seriousness, about age 30.

Got my first whitey around 26. Have a few more in the last 11 years, but not many. Got my first white chest hair last week, which is pretty funny because I have like 20 chest hairs altogether.

Me too, and I am indeed serious. Right after the first kid.
At 30, I started getting grey just above the ears. It's been slow, but I'm thankful that the hair is there, and going grey instead of balding.

Late 20s, but because I am blondish, they aren't that noticeable.

Noticed my first grey hair when trying to deal with buying a house for the first time; that was when I was 33. Now at 44 I have several grey hairs, but still mostly brown.

Right about the time I started modding on CP.

Early 30's, and it brought its friend thinning hair along as well, now I have less hair than my dad and 2/3 grey or so. So I just shave it super short and grow a beard to assert my hair prowess.

Mine showed up in my mid 40's just above my ears and hasn't really progressed any further. On the other hand you should see my brother

I'm 28 and in the past year or so I notice my hair on the sides of my head going to a lighter shade. Probably from the 2 kids. My grandpa was almost fully grey by 40 so
I'm not optimistic about my hair holding color for too long

Late 20s for me. I don't mind it to be honest. At least I won't go bald if family history has anything to do with it.

At least the $100K+ salary you earn for modding on CP can help pay for Just For Men products.

I am 30 and waiting to go a little grey, I'm hoping it makes me look closer to my age so I won't have to deal with so much age bias.

Had the odd white hairs when I was 17. Getting more and more of them now - still more like one-off's than actual greying... still too much for me (now 25)!!

I'm 42 and just started noticing a few grey hairs in the last year or so. It doesn't bother me.
