    I started with 3 grey hairs when I turned 18. Now I'm 24 and have a cluster of about (guessing) 100 hairs! Not a lot, but enough for me to ask WTF! My mom didn't start turning grey until she was in her 30's. Could it be because I smoke? In the past year, since I've had my son, I've seen my grey hair multiply and divide lol! :willy_nilly:

    Don't sweat it, it's just your genetics.

    I claim my son gave me my silvers. He points out that I mention the ones I had in high school. And the years of striped hairs.

    Luckily it can be covered.
    I know being a mom has gave me a lot more grey.

    Are the hairs together, like a stripe? If so, I'd leave them be...and likely only you notice them without promoting.

    Nothing wrong with being a Renegray!

    both my grandmother and my cousin had WHITE hair before they turned 25.

    Consider yourself lucky for having a few grays

    My aunt had a couple gray hairs in grade school. My family is filled with gray haired people. Luckily I take after my father with the hair on my head but all my other hair has some gray in it.

    dixie pixy, join the club :) I found my first gray hair when I was 17 or 18 and now I have more then you. I believe it's mostly matter of genes... All my uncles have lots of hair (they are in their 50's and 60's) and it is mostly grey. Ageing is inevitable...

    Be glad you got hair. When I was in high school there were 2 brothers who were bald by 10th grade.
