*nod* found my first one at 16. Don't you love parents with prematurely grey hair? (yay for chemicals to avoid this however!*G* *highlights mind* Unique side benefit btw, I can go longer without having to update my highlights. People mistake the white/grey for blonde *G*)
My grandmother started graying at 21 or 22, Mom at 24 or 25. I'm about to turn 24 and won't be the least surprised at any point from now on if I should start finding them . . . although I'm really dreading that day (damn dark hair . . . not so easy to hide).
I'm hoping that I'll manage to make it a little bit longer than them, though, as I think I don't tend to stress out over every little thing that happens, which was and is a common thing for them both, respectively. Maybe being more laid back will by me some time. That or maybe my hair gene came from my father's side where they at least all made it into their thirties before reaching for the hair dye!
If stress really factors into this, I blame my gray hair on Voyager fandom. I noticed the first gray back in 2000 when things became really wanky among JetCers. ;)
I figure anyone whose grey hairs are spread evenly through their hair is lucky, no matter how old when they get them! I've had some for years, but annoyingly they're pretty much concentrated in one spot. If I part my hair in the wrong place they're damn obvious! They're even lighter than the others when dyed, but at least they look more like a highlight then, lol
Though when my hair isn't dyed, it's basically all over the place, color-wise. I've got some blond as well as black, brunette, and red hairs. Mostly redish brunette, though.
