What age were you when you spotted grey hair on your head for the first time?

Early 20s. Now I get quite a bit at temples and crown. I have naturally dark hair and it shows a lot. Instead of dyeing them brown I get them highlighted, and it blends them in and they don't show for a couple months. I am 31 and I could cry every time I see a grey hair. Wait til you get a wrinkle or age spot!

Gray hair is typically a result of natural aging. Pigment in the hair shaft special cell at the root of the hair. These cell is genetically program to make a certain amount of pigment(melanin) at specific ages. At some point of the aging process, these cells

make less and less pigment until the hair become little pigment. White hair has no pigment and gray hair are some but not much as red, black or brown hair. Not all hair respond in the same way or at the same time. So the graying process is gradual. You can't prevent graying hair. Some people start graying hair the ages 30's and some not until thier 60's. Genetics also play strong role in graying hair. People go gray overnight. If they do Its typically go to allopecia areata. This condition causes the thicker, darker hair to stop growering before it affects the growth the gray hair- giving the impression of graying overnight. Alopecia Areata eventually causes rounded patches of hair loss or complete loss of hair on the haid or body. It's cause isn't unknown.
