I started getting them around 17. I'm 25 right now and have a decent amount of them. luckily I have a buzzcut so you cant really notice them. I just recently found my first one in my beard too

How Old Were You When You Got Your First Grey or is it Gray Hair?

Was gonna say this. Gray hairs on my head and beard don't phase me at all. But when I saw a gray pube I was like aw damn, it's over now.
I've had a bunch of stressed induced gray hairs all through my 20s, but haven't noticed any that seem to be sticking around.
I have 0 on my head (26 for reference), but I started getting grey hairs in my beard, eyebrows, ect since I don't know... 18 I think. Embrace it like you said, wisdom hairs
17 I think.
My dad was fully grey by 30, I'm probably half gray at 35. I dyed it in my mid 20s because I was like wtf it's too soon. Now I give 0 fucks. I have 90% of my hair still, can't win all the genes. Also I have a beard now, so dying that would be a pain in the ass.

Started balding at 20. A few grey hairs at 22/23, now I'm 26 and have a noticeable amount if i grow my hair out (I normally have a shaved head).
I'm lucky, I'm in my early 40s and they're just showing up. My dad never had a lot of grey, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Mid 20s. 30 now and I still don't have a noticable amount at all and it's barely changed since I first spotted one. I think I have like 4 on my temple and a few on the sides, but I keep all of that cut short and any at the temples are still slightly shorter than the top and just tend to hide under it.
Using hair products probably helps though since they just merge in with all the rest.

I have some gray hair on my temples and not a single one on my beard. 31.
20s, on the sides. I attributed it to my job, as its pretty high stress. Slowly inching upwards, but I'm good
31 and I'm well beyond "salt & pepper" at this point. I started getting them when I was about 16? Maybe 17. I used to color it and then used a grey reducer. But I've given all of that up. It is what it is.
Mid-20s. I'm 32 now, but I imagine at this pace I might be fully grey around 45... Beard is getting pretty grey, too.
At least I can find solace in the fact that I have a very, very thick hair and my hairline isn't receding, which means I won't go bald.

Noticed my first silver hairs on ONE of my sideburns right after I turned 30 late last year. Just one. So I have one regular sideburn and a kinda white one.
I was about 25 I'd say.
Started balding a bit around 28. Gonna turn into a monkey ass pretty soon.

14, so for roughly half of my life.
My mom got heres pretty early in life too so I'm sure that's where I got it from.

Haven't yet. However. I'm balding like a fucker. I'd take a long, full head of gray hair over being a baldy any day. Anyone wanna trade scalps, lol?
The truth right here. I don't think anything else has ever made me feel the grim and cold reality of death quite like discovering that first gray pube
I almost cracked my head open on the bathroom counter when my head snapped down to double check if it was real.
I had a couple mutant hairs that were grey as early as my teens, but the first real grey I noticed set in was at about 30.
Not sure if it was silver, gray or simply pigment less, but I was 18. Just one single hair at my temple. I've only had two more that I can recall since.
I've gotten a handful of grey hairs every year since I've turned 16. I pluck them when I notice them because I hate how a single hair can stand out that much. I rarely get them in my facial hair, they're always around my temples.
