I am 41 years old and I am starting to get a little gray in my hair. Is this normal? ?

    Yes, itis perfectly normal. I just wish the media and the beauty industry would STOP making gray hair out to be something bad, because it's not.

    Funny thing though...since COVID prevented people from going to the hair salon during shutdowns, people are saving LOTS of money and embracing their natural hair...even as restrictions are lifted.

    Take a look at the store bought hair dyes... now they have several products as gray hair enhancers and dyes.

    My 42 year old niece has been dying her hair for 15 years and has now stopped dying her hair and she looks great. A 72 year old friend just began to loose his hair color to gray. So it reallyis not an age issue, it's genetics. Gray hair is being less and less associated with age as more and more people are not using chemical dyes!

    yes, it is normal. Grey hair is also typically formed by stress, or even genetics.

    My mother grayed in her 30’s. I didn’t start to get gray hair until I turned 60.  

    Starting to get gray hair at 40 can be normal.

    yep know a couple of friends who went grey prematurely, its perfectly natural. A number of factors including stress genetics and environment can play into it.

    That's normal. Someone turns gray at 20, that's a problem.
