NWR: What age did you start noticing grey hair or wrinkles?

I am 31 years old and this was the first year I got my two grey hairs. One a few months ago and one when I was at my hair dresser.

I am 31 years old and this was the first year I got my two grey hairs. One a few months ago and one when I was at my hair dresser. I felt really weird about it, but she said that she has some women who come in who are my age who are completely grey! Yet you would never know it since they color their hair. I don't have any wrinkles yet, my mom is 51 and does not have very many.

When did you see your first wrinkles, your first grey hair?

    I started getting stray grays here and there when I was a teenager. I don't have wrinkles. In fact, people think I'm 10-15 years younger than I really am...my husband's aunt almost got in trouble with her work because there is a picture of us with a bottle of whiskey from this summer. They thought I was a minor.

    I'm 35 next month.

    What gray hair? If I had any, I wouldn't know due to my fastidious hair maintenance program. My mom's 61 and doesn't have any grays either haha. DH was going gray at 25 but colors his hair to "not look ancient" (he's 39 and his mom's a hairdresser so it's free!). Wrinkles...I don't call them wrinkles so much as a result of looking confused at work (I'm an engineer) but nothing really noticeable.

    I'm 35 and fighting the good fight!

    I honestly couldn't imagine getting a grey hair at 12! Knock on wood, I don't have any yet and I'm 31. I am also wrinkle free. If genes have anything to do with it, I'm in the money. My father is 56 and looks amazing for his age. Hopefully, I follow in his footsteps!

    The picture is of my dad and his mom at my wedding. She was 86 with grey hair (she dyed it), but minimal wrinkles for an 86 year old.

    I'll be 39 next month. Noticed my first grey hair when I was 23. No wrinkles yet.

    Edited to add: FH doesn't call them grey or white hair. He calls them platinum high lights! LOL

    My first grey hair was at age 10 and it just got worse. From the age of about 25/26 I had to start dyeing my hair for grey rather than just vanity. Now I'm nearly 33 my roots are AWFUL. Literally, I could dye my hair every three weeks if I had the inclination/money.

    Wrinkle-wise I'm still doing okay. I can see where they are going to be, particularly smile lines and frown lines on my forehead because I make a lot of expressive faces while talking - I could stop but what's the fun in that.

    I tend to get told I look a little younger than my age but I think a lot of people still think about an older idea of what people should look like at what age.

    I noticed my first gray hairs in my mid 30s, and my son commented on my wrinkles around then, too ("What's that on your face, Mommy?"). I'm a family therapist, so I just keep telling myself, "This means you can charge more cause it looks like you know more!"

    No wrinkles or gray hair yet at 27! Then again I have a nice plump face so harder for me to get wrinkles lol. There are pros and cons on both sides Smiley winking

    UGH! I started noticing grey hairs at 27 or 28. I don't have many, but enough that I can see them since I have dark hair. I remember when I was younger my mom told me that I should just be happy with my natural hair because I'd eventually have to dye it for the rest of my life. I should have listened!

    As far as wrinkles, I'm 30 and still not really noticing much of anything so that's good at least!

    I am only noticing in the past probably 6 months my skin isn't as taut as it was and I am starting to see a bit of laugh lines by my eyes and mouth and between my eyebrows. A & J I know what you mean about the eyelids. I have no grey yet! My mom didn't get greys except a few until she was late 40's so I am hopeful. I am 29.

    20 is when I got a few gray hairs. But, that's also the year my dad died, so it made sense. I haven't gotten any more since then and color my hair often enough that the few I have aren't super noticeable.

    I'm 36 now. I don't have any real wrinkles yet. No crow's feet or anything I haven't had for years. I'm getting tiny lines in my forehead, but I can only see them when I'm looking for them.

    The greys, however, sprung up in the past year. I call them my silver highlights. Mostly unnoticeable unless I have my hair in a ponytail because it's the underside getting grey.

    Started going grey at 23, just after I had my first son. Wrinkles since about 25, around my eyes mostly. I keep dying my hair to cover the grey

    On my mom's side, they went gray early.

    On my dad's side, they went gray late.

    I keep insisting that I'm taking after my dad's side!

    I met a guy who reminded me of one of my brothers. I told him that he even had gray hair like my brother. He insisted that he's a platinum blonde!!

    I was on a date with a previous bf who was about 5 years older than me when I was like 24-25...and he was talking about grey hair and I laughingly said I hadn't gotten any yet...to which he responded by leaning in and plucking one out of my head lol. So I guess 24 or 25. Smiley smile
