Im only 19 and I had a GRAY hair!!!!

[toyas08]

When my mom was cornrowing my hair last night and she was like Toya you have a gray hair. I was thinking yeah right. She called my sister my sister was like ewww. I told her to pull it out so I could see it, it was a long. My mom says it's from stress, grandmom says it's wisdom. What do you think?

 

[Highly Favored8]

IDK it could be a little of both.Or it could even be in your jeans I mean genes LOL.You only seen one- then you are good.

 

[Grand Prix]

I'm going with wisdom .

I started graying at 13. Don't panic. You may just get a few initially.

My nanny found my first gray when I was 5 years old. I've had grays here and there ever since. Now the grays are coming in with a vengeance (I am in my early 30's). Its definitely genetic....

 

[growhawkglitter]

enjoy it... my sister has a streak and started at 13, i have like 2... everyone gets em at some point. her boyfriend thinks its sexy. i don't get it but some men like that mess... go figure

My cousin is 17 and she is graying. She isn't stressed either -- I think it is a genetic predisposition.

 

[Keen]

^^^ Yeah, I agree it is possibly genetic predisposition

My mom found my first gray hair when I was 3, so could could be worse

OMG, this thread is right on time. I found one this morning! I am 30 years old.

I've had them since I was 7, my husband has salt and pepper hair when I met him and he was 26...don't stress

 

[DivaD04]

i have them...since i was 19 and they are not going away. i have to live with them since i can't live w/o them.

 

[Transformer]

It's genetics and hormonal makeup. Gray since 19!

 

[30something]

Also lack of vitamins can cause Grey hair.. someone told me that, not sure how true it is

 

[lilsparkle825]

If it's wisdom, stop pulling them out!!!

I've been having gray hairs since I was 14 so most likely it's a genetic thnig for me. It doesn't bother me one bit since I have such a baby face. It actually makes me seem more older - I'm 30!

My Irish-American buddy got her 1st when she was 11 (she says it's common in people of Irish descent to grey VERY early). I got my 1st at 17 and I AIN'T Irish (that I know of)...IOW, greys come when they come.

 

[KweenBeeDiva]

I have gray hairs...I think four or five. I have one that I the longest strand on my head and I love it!

I blame their existence on stress caused by a life of academia.

 

[ceebee3]

I've had them since I was 13, but they're really coming in more this year.

I use henna/indigo to keep my hair jet black.

 

[YankeeCandle]

Yup, it's genetic.

I have had 4-5 silver-gray hairs at my crown for as long into my childhood as I can remember. I am 30 now, and find about one new one there each year.

My aunt went mostly silver-gray in her early 30s and has been dying her hair black ever since.

What I wanna know is why they have a different texture than the rest of my hair (more wiry and brittle, less curly, and too easy to snap/break off).

I just love your face shape. It's like a marvelous, creamy sculpture with arresting proportions.

 

[mohair]

been graying since high school my dear.... I decided to embrace it 2 years ago.

 

[shasha8685]

I have 4 or 6 strands of gray hair (that I know of) and I'm 24. I pretty much started graying in my early 20s.


Go figure

 

[Allandra]

My youngest niece (now 12) had gray hair when she was 2. I think it has more to do with genes than age.

 

[jamaraa]

Considering how so many people dye their hair, I think having greys younger than stereotypes is far more common than not. We just don't see it!

 

[Kerryann]

its wisdom it really is

 

[ajoyfuljoy]

I have had grey hairs since I was 7. Look at it this way, now you have a valid excuse to use hair dye in your reggie

 

[BeetleBug]

I have had gray hair since I was in elementary school. Go get some henna

 

[katblack]

I saw boy twins no older than 13, both were greying.

 

[Makenzie]

I have a little friend who is 9 and 25% of his hair is gray.
