First, I have to say thank god for the internet and a site like this to make me feel like one in the crowd suffering with gray hair. It has really stopped me in my tracks and made me depressed a lot. I hate dying my hair, but I'm not ready to go white...I don't think. I have many food problems, but nothing I can really get treated. For example, I have gluten allergies, but not celiac disease (got tested). I heard gluten problems can have an influence...does anyone know if that is true? I’m 25 and got about a 100 grays!

I noticed that my roots were showing, and thought to take a closer look today. They're all gray or silver. I'm having such a hard time coming to terms with this. I suspect my father's genetics - he was wholly gray at my age. I'm still very unhappy about it, and will continue to dye my hair until I'm comfortable with it.

Half of my body is now covered with silver hair, except my hair on my heard. My friends make fun of me and refer to me sometimes as a werewolf. I have learned to live and cope with it, I don't cover it up or dye it. The good thing about the gray on my face I can use it to my advantage, I hardly got carded in my college years, and my favorite costume for halloween is a werewolf, all I had to do it grow my beard a la-wolverine style, fake blood and fangs, etc. Anyway so when someone makes fun of your gray hair, mess with their minds a lil, say that you have silverback gorilla genes and that you are a alpha or you can say you're related to werewolves and you love to hunt and absolutely love meat! happy hunting. lol My gray hair started out in my early 20’s, but my body is the one who took the toll on it, it started on my chest, face and now I am getting it on my arms I am now 32 going on 33.

It makes me incredibly self concious, I wear my hair in a side parting and I never go to the hairdressers until I absolutely have to, and it is a mortifying experience. I put highlights in my hair now, which is annoying s now it gets really dry easily. No one else in my immediate family is like this, although my uncle and aunt were completely grey by 30. It's great to know that there's people the same age out there who are going through the same problem and I hope one day I can get over it, I mean it's only hair, right? Still, anyone have any quick and easy solutions? I’m 17 and have had a couple of grey hairs at the back of my head for a couple of years now.

I have about 40% gray and 60% dark hair. My older brother and sister don't even have gray hair. It's so embarrassing, so i color my hair every 4-6 weeks. Does anyone knows how to prevent this thing from getting worse? any recommendation? I'm sick of coloring my hair anymore! I started having gray hair when I was 13 years old and now I’m 24.

Even worse, everyone i know seems to love commenting on it. Talk to my best friend "hey, is your hair going grey?", talk to my boss "don't you look distinguished", talk to my mum "i'm sure it's just a trick of the light", talk to my sister "bloody hell it caught you early". I've got so many other crushing self-confidence problems, i really don't need a new one. I'd consider dying it, but i don't think i can afford it with any great regularity. My genetics suck on both sides of the family to the point whereby i think it'd be merciful if i agreed never to procreate. Who knew you could be your own worst enemy.
