GRAYS!?!?!?

LOL. I don't think it's the coconut oil. Some people go gray early. Like CN's mom and herself. You could a) embrace it or b) color them.

Can't change genetics if that is what it is. Men in my family gray as children. Behavioral things such as stress, you can change. In 3 months of severe stress darn near 1 /3 of my hair turned gray. The reality is 1) stay gray 2) color or 3) henna. I chose the henna route since I wanted the strengthening since proteins were a no go for me. So, Tiff, join us henna heads--LOL

My father started graying at 21, and my husband also started to get grays early (he's a Soldier, I'm sure 4 trips to Iraq didn't help). Just color them and keep it moving!

You know, honestly I thought stress making you go gray was a myth. Thinking about it, it would make sense b/c my stress levels have been extremely high since December right before I started school. Other things have been thrown way outta wack as well if ya get my drift... By the end of the semester I am gonna be walking around looking like Storm from X-Men. Stress has to be the culprit b/c no one in my family under 50 has any. I thought henna colored your grays blond? I don't want that either, lol.

mmmm that's messed up but pretty much everyone else is right either you embrace them or color them that's your options

Aww lol don't worry much about it.. but may i ask WHY DID YOU PLUCK IT OUT? . They say when you pull them more grow back. I got some grey hairs too, and I noticed them when i was 12 years old as well. Mine are not so obvious because I dyed by hair and they are mostly in the center/crown of my head. Don't worry about it hun ur choice what you want to do

I started graying in college - it started with stress. Now (at 28) I have so many that I lost count.

Tiff dear, you are lucky. But wanted to say, henna make the greys a copper color. So, do your research, like in school and make a decision what you want to do.

And sometimes, early graying does run in the family, and can skip a generation. Might be your turn!!!

Love ya!!!

Lol...awww Ambitious_Tiff...
Strangely, as a kid, I always wanted gray hair. I loved the color gray/silver. Every time I saw a gray head at the salon, I would be in awe...I even asked my stylist if she could color me gray...I vowed to never cover my grays when the day comes, I just hope it is not a gradual process. I just want to wake up totally gray...lol...

Aww dont worry like it was said earlier u can either embrace it or dye it like crazy.But whatever u do DO NOT PULL THEM OUT!!! This girl that works with me pulled out some at the front of her head and now she has soo much grays there.

No worries Lady getting Gray early is GOOD LUCK.

It's not terrible. Some follicles tap out early and stop coloring the hair. I am 23 and i have a few.

I have grey hair around my hairline & i dont like it at all I use henna but it turns my grey copper color so I decided to order some henna & indigo from butter n bars Received my order yesterday I had some henna I had frozen so I have that on my hair now & will be doing the indigo later today Wish me luck ladies

Sebastian, you froze it? i have never heard that one. But great idea if there are leftovers. Please make sure to post pics.....

I was gonna say, if it was a health thing first time around, maybe check your health again? I dunno how it works in the US, but got see your doctor, get some bloods taken, analyse your stress levels and your diet, get some exercise, etc.

If the problem's still there after, it's embrace or dye!

I started to get gray hair in my late 20's. I don't have many hairs but they do make their presence known because it seems these hair have their own texture. They refuse to submit to twists, braids and blow outs. I just roll with it. I wish the rest of my hair was as strong as the gray strands! With the exception of my brother, who was born with gray hair, people in my family generally gray late. I wish that I have a streak of gray like my mother's. It's cool and makes me think of Cruella De Vil.

As a matter of health, I'd definitely see the doctor anyway. Stress manifests itself in different ways. I lose sleep, lose appetite, lose weight. If graying relates to nutritional deficiencies (not really sure if there is a correlation), I would blame the presence of my grays on that time when I was most stressed and lost 25 lbs.

You just taught me something new @Ambitious_Tiff ... I started getting gray hair right in middle school... maybe it was my hormones but I'm not sure .... bc I have deficiencies as well. I have been on my medication for a few months and I have been coloring my hair but I have said to myself this will be the last color for a while. So I will see if the pills are helping or not.

thank you and everything is going to be alright!
