At 55, what percent of your hair is gray? Just curious

[Anonymous]

I'm about 50 percent. I'm wondering if this is average.

Well I haven’t tested it but I’m guessing 85%-90%. I’m 51 and have been coloring my gray’s since I turned 30.

I can count the number of gray hairs on two hands. 56. Good genes.

56, just a handful, but I am a natural redhead. My father in his 70s only has visible grey at his sideburns (also a redhead), and my mother (brunette) is about 25 percent grey.

99% white hair since I was about 43.

Lt 5%...if my hair was not jet black no one would notice.

40%

I'm 42 and about 20% gray on top but 50% gray on the sides. I think thats typical for Caucasians. I was just looking this up a few weeks ago.

I am also convinced my grays increased significantly during the pandemic.

I'm 50 and maybe have a couple. I'm blonde so its hard to see any.

Only started graying at age 59. Think I’m going to go with it.

56, about 20%.

20%, but going gray late runs in my dad's family, who I thankfully look like.

I’m 52, about 10-15%, mostly at the temples. They look like highlights, so I don’t do anything about them.

[Anonymous]

At 55, less than 1%. At 59 it's getting closer to 5% but easily covered with highlights.

Wow, I’m amazed at how little gray everyone has. Do you all still color or highlight your hair? You’re very lucky.

I’m 50 and my two best girlfriends from college and I probably have 95% gray. So do my brothers. I thought most people had significant gray in their 50s, but I guess not!

I have been coloring for almost 25 years, and just let the gray grow in during the pandemic. It’s definitely a “journey.”
