What age did you start seeing gray strands. Do you use rinse to cover or color? I started noticing gray in my 30's.

I started graying in my early 20's. I use permanent dye.

I started graying in my 20's. I'm in my 30's now, and they are becoming increasingly noticeable. Strange enough the color rinses work better at covering my grays than the permanent dye. I just recently dyed my hair blonde and the dye did absolutely nothing to my grays.

I found my first gray at 26.

Now I'm in my early 30s and I just pulled one out the other day (I know I shouldn't but I did). I only have about 1 or 2 that consistently pop up lol!

My mother found my first two grays around age 6. They went away soon after and then I had two in the back around age 30. Now, at 45, my gray has been steadily increasing for the last 8 years.

I use Clairol Root Touch Up on the front. I can't see the back so I don't worry about it. That's the business of those that can see back there.

What permanent dye do you use?

My edges start showing quickly and I use a semi permanent rinse.

@Duchesse what rinse do you use for your front?

I use Clairol rinse for Greys. It's pretty good. I've used black, a blondish color, and currently dark brown.

My sister plucked out my first gray hair while she was doing my hair for high school graduation. I have a few consistent ones now in my mid 20s. They don't bother me; they're nice and shiny.

I've had gray hair since I was 14 or 15. I have it dyed every other month at salon.

I think I noticed my first one at 27 or so. I'm 31 now and have about 3 or 4 of them, they're not yet visible, they hide really well.

I haven't really thought about what I'll do once they start coming in more visibly... I think I will leave them be, and maybe color the ones in the front? Not sure, so far I kind of like them.

Saw a few strands in my 30s. I was shocked to find them, but i love salt and pepper hair so it doesn't bother me. I've read using/ingesting black strap molasses returns grays to their original color.

I can't find that on the ground how long does the color last especially around the edges.

I get good, lasting color from SM. I hadn't dyed my hair in awhile due to pregnancy; I used john fried foam color back in May and I will never use it again. The color was gone in less than a month. I'm going back to SM when I dye in September. There's a thread I'll bump for you. @MzRhonda

Noticed my first one in high school. It was bound to happen. I take after my mom. She grayed extremely early. I was 50% gray in my thirties. Now using henna/indigo mixture.

I have a patch of gray hair in the back of my head that I've had since I was 17. No one sees it unless I make a part. I'm 35 now and I have several gray hairs along my temples. I just pluck them them with tweezers and of course they grow right back. I don't want to start going through the hassle of dyeing my hair all the time once I start getting more grays. I went through all of that trouble when I used to put relaxers in my hair.

In my 30's. I just cut them down at the root since there are not that many at this point.

I used to get sporadic grey hair here or there but they would fall out. This yr though, right before I turned 33, these greys started popping in and refusing to leave.I do have a bottle of black hair rinse underneath my bathroom sink.

I've got a few sporadic grays in the crown of my head. I've had them since my mid twenties. They're surrounded by dark brown hair so you don't see them unless I make a really deep center part. There aren't enough to fuss with color but I may henna/hendigo them if they ever bother me.
