At what age did you start to notice grey hairs?

I'm 18 years old and I've noticed that I'm already starting to get grey hairs. I know that it's mostly up to genetics on when a person starts to get grey hairs and I'm fine with it, but I'm just curious how many people notice grey hairs at a fairly young age.

18 - 25 years old 4
26 - 40 years old 14
41 - 50 years old 4

    I had a few gray hairs in college. But they went away once I graduated. They started coming back a few years ago, probably as a result of kids. I just turned 40. My husband went gray in his early 30's and my brother in-law was completly gray by 30. It all depends on your genes. Ask your parents. My hair is just like my mothers. I expect to be in my 60's by the time I go completely gray. Although my grandma only had a dozen or so when she died at 98. So who knows.

    I'm almost 30 and I don't have any yet. Though my siblings all got some before they were 21.

    I'm 30 now but first noticed my gray hairs at 27. I don't have any plans to dye my hair when my hair becomes silvery.

    I have a random patch of grey (at 25) but it's hidden luckily.

    I had them at 13 but it gradually went away when I started exercising. You’re probably stressed out or you probably have anxiety or something.

    I popped out of the womb with grey hair. I've been aging backward since. Just make sure you don't stress yourself out too much as it will expedite the greying process. You don't want to look like grandpa at 20.
    Best of luck in your life.
    Good question. :)

    I got my first greys at around 31 or 32. The lady who cuts my hair says most folk get their first ones in their late 20s, which I have to say nobody ever warns you about. I thought I was getting old before my time, but it just turned out I was normal.

    I was 10 and I had my first grey hair. But it was okay because people thought I looked like Anna from Frozen (weird, but at least they didn't bully me, so...) My mother said that it was because I'm always stressed or worried af.

    I had a friend who had them at 13. She's not remotely grey now at 33.

    My brother's housemate was completely grey by 30 at latest. Idk when he started. It suits him, though.
