I’m amazed at how few are grey here. Those of you with a low percentage - do you still dye your hair (single process versus highlight)?
I’m 53 and like 95% gray - it started in my 20s. |

| 41 and probably 80%? I’m not sure, I’ve been dying it since I got gray streaks at 25. |

49 with medium brown hair and I'd guess it's 50% grey. The grey accelerated after about age 47.
In my experience the early to mid 40s might as well have been 30. Then aging started.

I think it's genetic. My H was half grey in his 30s and I didn't get my 1st until mid 40s. |

| 45 and no gray as far as I can tell. I have lots of wrinkles though (too much sun in my younger years). |

Same. I started coloring at 28 and stopped during covid. I'm still a little ambivalent about it but also love not having to maintain the color. |

Definitely mostly genetic. I think extreme stress can cause graying as well, but in general, look at your parents. You’ll likely follow in their footsteps. |
