    I was shocked at my first gray at the age of 25. They have since multiplied and I’m getting that salt and pepper look. Some days it’s really hard, especially when they grow out wiry and can’t be tamed. Some days it doesn’t bother me at all. If coloring wasn’t such a time and money commitment I’d consider it, but for now I’m commited to going gray naturally.

      I was wondering about the texture of the hairs. So they are thicker? Ugh! Anyways, I love that you’re embracing your gray!

    I pulled them out & they grew back. :/ It finally got to the point where I couldn’t pull them out anymore and I had to dye them. It’s probably stress. Grey hairs are so hard to color. I’ve dyed my hair a few times and it wont catch the color. $%@&!! If you see a professional hair stylist you should be okay. LOL. I’m also told to highlight or lighten my hair color. I’m still debating. Welcome to the grey hair club! You are aging gracefully by the way. I wouldn’t worry about that. :)

      You pulled them out???Wow! You’re brave! LOL!! Thanks for the support!! xoxo

    I yanked the first couple, then I started coloring them. At first I went for fun colors, but now (since I have to recolor about every 3 weeks) I just go for something that matches my usual color. It’s too much work otherwise!

      I don’t know how you guys yank them out! LOL! Brave!! I think I’ll go matching too!

    I had a few earlier this year and I’d agree it was definitely stress. I just plucked them on and forgot about it. I check every now and then and they have not been back. Whew! :)

      Everyone keeps saying they pluck them, but I thought you weren’t supposed to do that? LOL!

    I was in my twenties when I had my first white hair. I plucked it. I have had the odd one over the years but and pretty much white/grey free. I did however find a black one the other day — like thick black which is weird.

    UMM I was 12. And it was cool. So at 35 with a head full of greys I am lucky to be far from the norm. It’s my conversation starter. Plus they say grey hair is wisdom. (lies but whatever!)
