66, 3% temporal gray… but thinning hair.

34, with significant greying at temples, and I’m started to find random grey hairs throughout. Hair still looks brown overall, but it’s changing fast.

I’m 52 and have maybe 5%. I have a streak in the front of my hair (long bob w/o bangs).

My dad is in his 80s and still is only about 50% white. I’m in my 40s and only have the occasional grey/white strand pop up. We’ll see if I track like my Dad did!

55...slightly grey...5%. I have super dark hair though so they are all like neon. Hate the thought if grey but also hate to think of having high maintenance expensive hair.

48 with three gray hairs on my head.

45. Maybe one or two gray hairs? I don’t dye or highlight my hair; shade is medium brown. My grandma never went gray so wondering if I inherited her hair.

I’m 53 and like 95% gray - it started in my 20s.

I've never dyed my hair. Not sure if that's why I'm mid 50s with just a few grays at the temples. My mom has a different hair color from my and never died her hair either, and she is maybe 20% gray at 83. Probably genetics.

56, redhead, same.

Mid 40s, and probably 10%? It's mostly in the front in a Bonnie Raitt/rogue streak

My DH though is 52 and is maybe ~15% gray but his trimmed beard is 70% gray. Everyone remarks how good he looks and while I hate the double standard, I swear he is even better looking now than when we first met.

52 year old woman here whose youngest just left for college last fall - I'm still not emotionally ready to go all grey (although from a maintenance, time and cost standpoint I'd love to go all grey).

I think everyone who does it is awesome, and many look great. But if I am honest (and I will be bc this is anonymous), I have yet to meet a woman it isn't aging on. If I see a woman with a sleek silver bob, stylish clothes, etc., I still think she is much older than I am even if she is in her 40s!

Also, I am pretty low maintenance appearance wise when not at work or a nice dinner/event - I love to be able to pull my hair back into a ponytail or messy bun, wear little make up, etc. As others also pointed out, grey haired woman who do that look unkempt and/or washed out.

Similar situation. I'll be turning 36 this month. It started to progress quickly after 30 and I had more kids.

57 and a few gray that I can pluck when I see it. I have not started dyeing my hair yet but my sister has been mostly gray since she was 45. I got lucky with those genes.

Also 44 with a ton of curly auburn hair and was unpleasantly surprised to notice a whole bunch of gray (white) hairs once I started returning to the fluorescent lights of the office post pandemic (and after taking on a really stressful role). They’re still not very noticeable to others but I can probably find at least 10 or so in five minutes of looking. I’m still at the stage where I pull them out (<0.1%) when I find them. My twin sister with similar hair has zero.
