I hilight my dark hair to help the gray ones blend a little better. My Mom was 100% grey by 39, so I am scared of what I may be in for.
I pull them out. I only get one every great once in a while though, so it's not like I'll have a bald patch by doing so.
I embrace them! I only have a small number but I just leave them be. I tell people that I named them Ms. Lucious and she has sprouted sisters...
Pull them. I've been foiling for years (I'm 27 now) and then decided I was tired of it and colored my hair natural which is brown, probably chestnut. It started to grow out and I saw what could be blonde hairs but maybe grey. Just a few of them and I left them so I could see later if blonde.
Well I'm at a BBQ sitting with my sister and a few family and friends with my hair up and my sister turns to me and asks "are those grey hairs?!" I asked her why she would say that in front of everyone and then I BURST into tears. I guess I'm not ready. :) I don't think I will color later (too much maintence) but I don't like how it goes so slowly. Men have it so much easier.
you talking about on your head or the pubes? My hairline I don't mind, the beaver OMG I hate them. They get plucked.
I am 42 now but starting going grey at 16. I dye them.
Now they start showing up after only one week of getting them dyed. :/
I sometimes think about growing them out but at 42 it just doesn't feel like time yet. Maybe at 52 LOL
My poor 13 year old daughter is starting to get one or two here and there. She and I just pull them out for now. They are not visable to anyone else. I sometimes find them when I help her straighten her hair.
@bklynbridetobe:LOL Too frikin funny!
Weird I don't get them down there but just started noticing them in my eyebrows.
I started going grey at 16 as well. I'm 26 now and have only been dying because of the wedding, but afterwards I'm going to embrace it by doing the rogue stripe. I'm pretty excited about it, haha. Therefore, I'm pretty excited about embracing it?
I'm 40 and have them bad. I used to pull them out until my hairstylist yelled at me. I left them for a long time but they're coarse, curly and out of control so I finally got my hair highlighted and they all blend in now..love it.
Aside: Can you go gray if you have very blonde hair? Gray is the absence of a darker color, what if the color is blonde?
I have grey and I'm only 22! Ugh, I think a nutritional deficiency is the cause of mine since I have other issues that can lead to that but yeah, I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to damage my hair with dyes but at the same time, what the heck, I'm ONLY 22!
For now, I'm just keeping them the way they are...
@boombacha: I'm 22 and I dye my hair red so I don't know if I'll even notice when they start coming in. So far the plan is to just keep dying it the colour I do now just because I like it. Maybe eventually I'll go back to my natural blonde and embrace the greys, but it won't be until I'm much older!
@lefeymw: I believe they're a different coarseness, but yes, as far as I know you can.
@Aure: Interesting... because gray would be darker than my own hair now. Nothing yet though!
I'm a natural blonde and almost 45. I thought I was NEVER going to get any gray hair. Well, about a month ago, I noticed some near my hairline righ above my ears. I was so horrified and plucked them right out. They haven't grown back but I'm sure they will. I've heard that blondes go gray later than most and I hope that is true. But at least I can blend them with highlights in the meantime and I'm sure as hell not going to embrace them. lol
@beekiss: I feel ya sweetie. When I was 21 and pregnant with first child I found a cluster or grey hairs. I pulled enough out to nake a small bouquet and showed them to my mother and asked WTheck? She said it was hereditary but so was having NO streach marks in our family. Back then I was thrilled. I thought to myself I'll just dye them and yay I get to still wear bikinis!
Now however I am 42 and no longer in shape for bikinis :( so I would gladly trade my greys for streach marks....I think.
I am attempting to embrace them. If I weren't so lazy and a cheapo I would probably dye them. I have a lot. I have had them since I was 21/22. I am now 27 and they are taking over. Oh well...
I've been using the steadily increasing number of white hairs as an excuse to dye my hair red.
@Beluga: Trust no one.
I'm 28 and haven't found a gray hair yet, even though my mom started finding them at age 20 and was totally silver-white by the time I was born. I know this is weird, but I'm looking forward to the suckers. I think gray hairs on young people, especially women, are SO cool-looking. You kind of look like a magical sorceress! Okay, maybe that's just me. I think it will be super neat when they start to show up.
I'm 35 and so far I only get this one stubborn white hair growing crazy out of my side part. It's toward the back of my head, and it's thicker and coarser than my other normal hairs. Every time I pluck it, the damn thing grows back with a vengeance. I think I will freak out when the grays finally start popping up (which is probably sooner than later, lol).
I will color my hair till the day I die :)....not for covering grays, but for fashion! I don't have any gray hairs and prob won't for a while(my mom is 59 and has like 2 on her head) @lefeymw yes blonde hair can become gray, but it's a light gray( more like silver) , I've seen a lot of natural blondes also get mixtures of slate gray and white. We go gray from loss of pigment/melanin in the hair follicle.
I'm growing out my natural colour for the wedding, and I was horrifed to find a grey in my fringe. I then systematically parted and scoured my hair and pulled out about 20 greys. I'll probably pluck them until there are too many then go back to dyeing them.
A little bit of both I guess. I dye my hair, but not because of the gray, sometimes I leave it for a long time--though I only have like 20 gray hairs, it's not exactly noticeable. I think I would dye for the purpose of more than 20% of my hair was gray. But then I'm only 28, maybe I won't care when I'm 48...who knows?
FWIW, I'm 57 and a natural blond. I've never dyed my hair, and don't have any grey hairs that I've ever found. So yes, it is true that people with lighter hair color may wait until later to go grey.
I'm 24, and will 25 at the wedding. My hair is roughly 1/2 gray. I knew it would be this way, and everyone in my family has the same story. I dye my hair now...just as close to my natural dark brown as possible. After the wedding, I'm doing a major chop and I want to go with out hair color for awhile just to see exactly how gray I really am and how it looks. My man isn't too happy about it (he has issues with gray hair/going bald and I could care less, LOL) but I'm looking forward to it. If my hair wasn't half way down my back, I'd stop dying it right now, but it'd take YEARS t grow out!
@2dBride: How wonderful for you! Some of us have been blessed with extremely dark hair and even though the very few, rare "greys" I have found are really no sweat off my back, I assume it will look odd during the waiting period of an entire section of my head to turn grey. Also, my "greys" are more blonde-white, which is interesting. I could have almost black and ivory hair, which could possibly start a trend. Ha. Unfortunately, the rare variety I find show up on both sides of my head, behind my ears...so, I would look more like a skunk at first then a fashion icon. ;)
@Beluga: Haha, that's exactly what came to mind when I first saw the title.
I'm just shy of 27 and I have probably 50 grey hairs on my head. They're fairly noticeable with my hair color, but I like to pretend they're glittery accents. I embrace them, at this point : ) Maybe when I'm slightly older and they are more abundant, I'll want to dye my hair for awhile, but it's pointless to fight it forever. I think it's sorta ridiculous when you see an elderly woman and her hair is so obviously dyed dark.

So, I am a younger female who appears to be experiencing the random grey. Curious if you leave them and embrace your newfound, seasoned tresses or dye them asap? :)
