    It really depends on the person. My mother is over 50 and has more grey eyebrows than gray hair. I knew a woman at my church whose hair was completely gray before she had her 2 children. Neither of them have done anything to cover it up- however I'm sure many women have the same issues and color their hair. (I had a friend in college who needed to cover a few at age 20) So the end of the story: it's all part of your natural beauty and don't sweat it! If you feel the need to cover it up- make sure to use a muli-tonal color or get it done by a professional, and remember that roots look good on no one!

    It depends - everyone gets gray hair at a different time in their life. I started in my late 30's and don't do it that often because it dries out your hair.

    30 - 40 for many women.

    I started coloring for fun at 14 but color for gray coverage since my 30's

    I have it done professionally and my hair is not dried out. When you are lightening it is more damaging than when you are adding color.
