Going grey as a teenager

[@SpinstersLibrary]

I've just recorded a follow-up video to this, in which I address some of the sadness and upset many of you are feeling about going grey young. Hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6OqlqKhlL-ch5I

What if it is not cause by genetics? please answer

I had grey hair since 15 years old

[@taasmr4203]

What is your ethnic or racial background? I am asking this question, because you have dark hair plus may be having grey hair as a teenager has to do with your ethnicity or race.

i started to get gray when i was 15 i’m half japanese half white and i have rlly black hair i’m 18 now and kinda insecure about my gray hairs but this video made me feel a lot better! i really like your hair it looks cool!

Wonderful to see such body positivity by a woman in a public space. You and your hair are fabulous. I'm 40 this year and the grey is starting to show- I don't intend to start dying it either. I've not the time or money to keep up with all that but I've not the inclination either. As you say, it's all just part of the process and I read The picture of Dorian Grey and took note! 😁 xx

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Enjoy your journey to silver hair! It's something that should definitely be spoken about more, and I think that the current generation of greying adults like us is a lot more open to talking about greying, rather than pretend it doesn't happen.

Hello. I am 19 and I too started getting grey hair at an early age. My Friends would point and laugh at me and over the years it made me feel so insecure. I wouldn't go out without a cap or just cover my face because it makes me feel ugly. I would color it sometimes but it would just grow back up. I am trying to accept myself with it but it's hard. I feel like no one's gonna want me if I have grey hair. Thanks for sharing your story, now I know that I am not the only one . I just need to toughen up and accept this unique trait

[@SpinstersLibrary]

I know it can be difficult to look different than the people around you, especially with grey hair as a young person. I don't think you need to toughen up, but I do think your friends need to stop making you feel crap over it. Continue to colour your hair if that makes you feel confident, and go natural if you feel like it. Your hair is part of you and it's beautiful, whether grey or dyed ❤

[@anutamar]

yup had to go through that as well. and trust me I colored my hair all the time-and now my hair looks awful. Ive only stopped just before this fiasco with the pandemic. And now the pandemic is "helping" me with not colouring my hair. haha. im instead looking at ways to apply makeup differently, colours to use, hairstyles, etc. .but you do you boo, whatever makes you happy and at peace with yourself

[@HelloThere-lo3qi]

Same im 18,and i live in asia u know what that mean :" grey hair = old ppl, they always kinda freak out with their expression that annoys me everytime "OMG Why you have so many white hairs" "You look like my grandpa hahaha" "Man you shouldnt put too much stress you have so many white hairs" i know most of em make jokes about my hair i know they dont mean it,but every time they said that it just broke me mentally,it change my mood for the rest of the day.. i cried inside and i just smiled hoping they ll talk something else ,im a guy yea but i got hurt everytime they say that.. i really wanna scream at them "I dont know why it happened!!it s not genetic,i have a very healthy diet and i exercise daily and yea im stress free unless when u make fun of me" i really feel insecure with this you know.. i never even look at my reflection in the mirror,i never sit on the front row cause i dont want ppl behind me and see my hair.. everytime i said to myself it s okay they always point it out again and make myself feel bad again,there is no one around me that actually think "oh grey hair?so what it just a diff hair color?why do you think it s matter you still look gorgeous whatever hair colour you have" but no,none of them think like that,they look at me either with a pitiful look or a weird look while laughing,i m so mad that i want to scream "stop looking at my hair stop saying im old" i hope they know how it feels to have grey hairs at young age

I am in the same boat as you, I started growing grey at 14 and I thought it was stress from worrying about my future and future exams. I would get teased by my cousins and friends to the point I didn't want to go out, I am noticing that alot of younger people are going grey it's getting very common, I find it embarrassing to buy just for men, I went to boots and I saw young people early twenties and younger buying hair dye, we are not seeing it because people are secretly dying there hair so you are definitely not alone, more people than you realise, the world is making people go prematurely grey, could be the environment that's causing it so stand up proud it's normal and my mum says age has nothing to do with it.

I've grey hair since i was 13. Since then my friends from school called me "grandpa/old man", yeah it's hard. One time when i go to school riding my bike, i was laughed by bunch of kids, and that time i was very sad, why people doing this to me? My confidence in school at that time is very bad, i don't know maybe because of that i haven't had a girlfriend back then. I always insecure if people looking at me in public place. Along the time i got more confidence. When you're older you're more accepting yourself. You don't give a f*ck what people say. Just embrace it Back then i always keep my hair short to keep grey hair less visible. But right now i started growing my hair, even though my gray hair become more visible. Just embrace it. It's unique, people are easier to remember you. Don't let people bring you down

[@kismet9673]

I started going gray at 15 but it was a very slow roll, nothing like yours. I think your hair is freakin awesome! It’s gorgeous. I’m 55 now and letting the gray grow in for the second time and one thing I loved about having gray hair was using temp or semi-permanent color. I loved having lavender hair more than I ever imagined and I love love love just not having to dye it every few weeks or feeling awful about how I look when I just don’t have the time to do it because I’m working long hours. There might be sadness for some but it’s so nice being free.

I am 15 years old now. And I was 8 years old when I found out that I have gray hair... At first it slowly spreading but then when I was 13 I observed that the spreading of my Grey hair was fast. My classmate and acquaintances always tell me that I am grandmother and always call me "Lola" (grandmother in Tagalog language). At first I want to dye my hair because of the embarrassing things I receive about that but then I realize. Even though I dye it, the Grey hair will be back again. So I decided just leave, accept and appreciate that Gray hair in my head.

You make me feel so much better about my hair. I started going gray when I was 12 and I’m 26 now. I had been dyeing my hair for YEARS but a few months ago I just got tired of all the maintenance and decided to just let it grow out and embrace it. And I also bought a conditioner dye that’s helped me blend in my dyed hair with my grays. I’ve found that I’ve grown a lot more gray hair during the years. It was hard to accept at first and the comments people make can be so annoying. But I’ve got thin hair that I’m trying to keep healthy and on my head lol.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Glad you've found a routine that works for you! I wish people would just stop with their unwanted opinions on grey hair... I don't go round telling people that their highlights don't suit them, but for some reason people feel entitled to talk about grey hair that's not on their heads.

[@nnnnn1610]

I like that you never dyed it.. I guess I appreciate that as I dyed my hair at 15 and just never stopped! I've been all the basic colours, never any fashion colours, maybe copper or red but those never lasted.. Now my hair is grey on top and wiry, I still have my 'old hair' underneath, a reminder of the pretty dark brown hair I've not seen in all these years! I have to say I wish that I appreciated it more, rather than getting rid of it the first chance I got! Of course as I'm getting older I realise the top is completely white, but I've never seen it come in, only noticing my roots changing over time.. And feeling like I'm now locked in dying it! You have lovely hair. My parter used to pluck my greys out, but over time he began saying there's just too many.. And then began the need for dying it every month, as apposed to it being fun, it was now a necessity.. Now I'm over it, it's almost a two weekly dye thing or else it looks like I'm balding, or like my hair is floating off my head! Ty for the video, it's nice to hear about other peoples history. And yes I agree on the greasy thing! My greys on top aren't too bad, but underneath, behind my ears they're like massive grey pubes! I mean what's with the texture.. Looks great alongside my brown poker straight hair... I've also noticed it goes very frizzy with humidity, never had that before Lol the joys.

[@asmontosborne3111]

Let me just say that this is the first time I watch a video on this subject. I'll be 18 in a few months and I started showing the first signs of my mother's side of the family's early graying hair over the last year. I never felt annoyed at the fact that I would be going gray (since I knew from an early age it was a very real possibility), but it most certainly feels good to see someone talk so proudly about their gray hair! I find it funny how my sideburns are the first thing that is turning gray, making me look a bit like Uncle Scrooge (for whatever reason, I've always had an abnormal amount of hair growing there, so it definitely makes sense that they would be the most noticeable part). I keep my hair pretty short and a little wavy, so I'm definitely wondering how it will look in gray. TL;DR thanks for the confidence you showed in this video! Your hair looks amazing and I hope mine turns out nicely too!

[@SpinstersLibrary]

I like your attitude! Definitely play around with haircuts too, I find that men and women with short hair have the luxury of really showing off the texture and colour differences in grey.

I love your hair! I'm very into this kind of salt-and-pepper hair & I am always very happy when I find a grey hair on my head! Like you I have really dark brown hair and have started to find the first grey hairs pretty early. I am now 27 and the grey streaks become more obvious and I love it! :D It looks even better with long hair like yours, but since I buzzed them off 5 years ago I have to say I'm never going back to long hair, I'm just a buzzcut kinda person.

I love your long silver and beautiful hair. Few people have that. Most of us cut cut and cut our hair. I’m letting mine grow. I’m 64 ; my hair is wavy and dense. One year without dye. I’m silver around my face and the rest is salt and pepper gray.

[@danielaayers3449]

I have had a silver patch amongst dark brown hair (like the X-men Rogue) and used to hate the attention it bright me as an extremely shy child. I was even called grandma once as a teen which hurt as I clearly wasn’t an adult yet! Now as a 34yr old mother of three, I’ve got quite a few extra grey hairs that are appearing in the rest of hair and I love it! I’ve even noticed a grey eyelash. And I hold a similar view to you with colouring my hair, although I’ve always wanted to try a bubblegum pink or raven blue.

[@nalaj.9147]

It’s beautiful! I’m 31 now but I got my first grey about 6 years ago. Now I have about 6-7 pieces of grey hair but only on my right side. My hair is long curly brown, light brown with alittle blond in it. It’s all natural too. My mom told me that people use to ask her when I was only 6, if she dyed my hair. Which of course she didn’t. The picture I have on here, I did have a few blond highlights only because I wanted it to look even. Idc anymore. I haven’t dyed it in years and it’s definitely not healthy for your hair. Your hair is so pretty and long just the way it is. I wish I was more confident as you when I was younger. Having so many different colors in my hair when I was younger, when I was in high school, it use to bother me so I did put highlights in it for years. But since I stopped- I love my hair even more. Because it’s me. So thank you for sharing your story.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

I would have been so jealous of your hair as a child! I grew up in Germany surrounded by blond kids and my own dark hair didn't have any variation in it until it started going grey in secondary school. Glad to hear you're more comfortable with your natural hair now :)

[@recentlyseenreading]

I started going grey in my late 20s from a very dark brown and it’s been mostly white for a couple of decades now. Forgoing the dye pot was deeply unfashionable then but I’ve never regretted it and I’m happy to have avoided the growing out and/or root touch ups dye brings with it. The yellow that creeps in can be annoying - purple shampoo/conditioner usually takes care of that though.

[@tiredestbean]

I am 16 and after having various dyed colours since I was 12, I am now growing out my roots. I have noticed quite a few silver hairs in my roots and I honestly can’t wait for them to grow out more and hopefully go more silver. I really enjoyed your video :)

[@Eniphesoj90]

I think we have very similar hair: my original hair colour is very dark brown with a shade of red. I found my very first grey hair at age 8. Then I kind of forgot about that, but then I found another one at age 17 and althroughout my 20s I have got more and more grey hair. I am 29 now and I probably have got quite a few. I say probably, because contrary to you, I prefer to dye my hair. I don't like hair dye, but I use henna, which I think is better for the hair and fortunately, it is very similar to my real hair colour (so no crazy colours for me, I stay close to my original hair colour). It is cool that you made this video considering a lot of what you say sounds familiar. It is cool you're proud of your grey hair. I don't have that confidence haha. But your hair looks really nice and long and unique!

It's funny, before the strands commit to turning white, they turn blonde first. I have super dark almost black hair just like you.

[@toastggurl8613]

I started having gray hairs at 10. When I was about 11 and went to the salon to cut my hair the hairdresser was like "oh wow, you have gray hairs at such a young age?" I'm a teenager now and have a few white/gray hairs but not too noticeable. I've always been a very brave girl who wanted to get surgeries, glasses, blood tests and braces so having gray hair wasn't something I would EVER be insecure about, I actually love it and it makes me feel special, and I can't wait to have completely white hair when I'll be older :)

[@hyaakanma7179]

Your hair is so gorgeous 🤩🤩 and that shine! Very beautiful.

[@hellscream46]

I'm happy for your embracing of this change.

[@romanleftwich]

Same boat. I am a male just turned 30 and my hair is about same as yours. Embracing it now though 💪🏽😆

[@jasmine9499]

Hats off to your confidence. All my bows to u

[@peggygourton9907]

I got my gray hair at age 13-14 too but not much. Rly love your attitude esp. the word “silver fox lady” 🤩🤩🤩

[@gnomariana]

You are so beautiful and nice!!!! :) my mother never died her hair and she was always very happy about it when it changed colour. So I'm never going to die it either. Thank you for sharing your experience :D

[@beatricewilliams9443]

To me it adds to your charm, like it fits you and adds to your character, I'm not quite sure how to phrase it, but it fits you wonderfully

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Thank you ❤

[@oluz4773]

You have beautiful hair! I love the diferent tones and length. Never dye it. God bless you! Greetings from Puerto Rico👍

[@Blueskyz316]

I’m 30 and I’m over dying my hair . So I’m just gotta let it grow out and call it day.

[@Clleonie]

I'm in the process of that too at aged 35. I'm 6 months in, what about you ?

[@Blueskyz316]

@@Clleonie 11 months ! And no regrets . Let’s do this ! 👍🏼❤️

[@EvilNick81]

Wow you are such a beautiful natural girl , thanks for the vid I will show it to my girlfriend , she have the same hair as you but she won't stop dying it black because she thinks her hair are ugly !!

[@Newwaver2007]

Your hair is almost going silver :) I am going grey too. I’m 10 years older. I guess it’s gold and silver now hehe.

[@sueh3426]

Have to say … your hair is beautiful !! Also whatever your skincare routine is … keep it up, because your skin is flawless !

[@nicolebrown1498]

Your hair is beautiful!!!! I am 18 and I am already finding many gray pieces. My dad was fully salt and pepper by 25 and my aunt did as well. So, I am on the track to be gray early and I am so excited

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Sounds like it runs in the family! I inherited my mum's greys too, my brother on the other hand doesn't have any yet at 26.

[@yorkshirerose6334]

I had long dark hair which went grey shortly after having my second child, and my husband lost most of his hair at that point. We joke with her about it as pre and post photos of us shows the difference. I actually don’t think it was just her, I became really ill, but hormones and stress did play a part.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Health can have such a stark effect on hair, I know a woman who suddenly went grey as a result of cancer treatment.

[@thedeepend4419]

The grey hair looks lovely on you, you're beautiful.

[@cbgadmirer]

I'm glad you shared this video, over a few months ago my mom found a strand of white hair. Today i found a few greys on my hair, it felt so unreal because i'm only 14. My mom gotten hers when she is in her 20s. This video helped so much for me to embrace the change. I felt depressed and insecure abt this, I just discovered this and i'm still trying to accept myself I'm still afraid that i might become grey someday😭😔

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Remember, it's always in your power to change your hair if you don't like it - nothing wrong wit using hair dye! But I do hope you give your grey hair a chance, you might end up liking it.

[@Rinsuki]

I think you look beautiful. It makes your eyes stand out. Also, I spotted a white hair at age 11 so I am not so broken up about getting more white hair at 30. I don't plan on dying because I hate the smell of hair dye in general.

[@softgloaming7764]

Your hair is beautiful! It does give you a unique look, lots of people dye their hair to look that way and to create their own style and for you it's just natural.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Thank you! It's definitely become a trend, but it certainly wasn't five years ago, and I'm sure it will be over soon too!

[@shae7524]

I think it is so pretty! My mom has been grey for as long as I can remember and I have a lot of greys as well now at age 23. The worst part is the comments other people make 🙄 But personally I think it’s beautiful!

[@outi3852]

Even as a kid, I thought gray hair looked beautiful and cool, so obviously I absolutely adore yours. My natural hair colour is medium brown w/ a reddish tint, and I have no intention to colour it when I get gray. I have found my first grays (at 39) & actually bought some cava to celebrate 😁 I hope I will get "mithril hair", as someone described it.

[@JennNChia]

That's awesome! I didn't see my first gray until I was about 35, and now (I'm in my late 40s), I still only have small strands of gray. I dyed my hair a LOT when I was younger (from about age 15-37, I wanted to keep my childhood blond, but my hair was getting darker), but I actually stopped around the time my grays started showing up. I tell people they're glitter, and that I've EARNED them, by living what has sometimes been a difficult life. :) I think people should do whatever makes them happy, whether that's going gray, dying your hair a crazy color, or whatever else you like.

[@kajdamarillo9314]

I am glad I found your video. My daughter is a teen ager and has a lot of grey hair. Just like yours in your 20’s but It doesn’t bother her-right now. You look great, it looks like you purposely highlighted your hair grey. I and my mom are very grey. We have a strong family history of grey hair.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

I hope your daughter continues to love her hair ❤️ My mum hated her greys for a long time, I remember having to help her dye it ever since I was old enough to do so, but when I was 17 or so, I convinced her to grow out her natural hair and now we're both rocking the grey look

[@estarissongs7009]

I'm 39 and started getting grey hairs at age 24. This year I started getting more obvious thick grey streaks as I am almost 40. I've been adding aqua and dark blue hair dye to my hair which looks very beautiful with the grey and my natural dark ash brown colored hair. I've been doing mermaid hair since I was 35 to try out new things since I've been doing the natural look most of my life with just my beautiful curly ash brown hair. It's been fun to start straightening my hair as well which helps me to see all the colors better and the shiny streaks. It also helps to know that teenagers actually dye their hair grey. I dress like I am in my teens and fool people with my age since my face looks younger than 30 according to the comments i receive from people LOL. I've never had plastic surgery or any thing that makes my face look younger. It just runs on my Mom's side of the family. I do have wrinkles but that apparently doesn't make me look 30 to others.

[@anastasijastevanovic4959]

omg i love your hair! it suits your skin tone and it brings out your eyes sooooo well

[@kaayleelynn3424]

i’m 13 and have so many gray hair !!! literally half my head-

im literally having a mental breakdown rn- I just discovered my grey hairs im only 14, just feeling so uneasy 😭

[@impsycko]

It fits you so well. Thank you for sharing this.

[@Hmmm3010]

I have this exact same condition( if I may call it that). Some of my hair strands have alternating black n grey like yours. M just waiting it out. Would love to have a whole head of silver/grey hair. More power to you for rocking your natural hair. 🌸🙂

[@vanshikalikestowrite5900]

Such a bold video! Thank you for sharing!!

[@nymeria941]

I started going grey in my teens, but my hair is very curly, so the greys are often covered by the volume of the hair. I also got a demi-permanent dark red dye a year ago, so the grey blends in further with the lighter red. I think I'll do the same as you--either enjoy pure white hair, or go crazy with rainbow colors!

[@SpinstersLibrary]

So many possibilities! When my hair was still dark, colouring it wasn't even an option for me because of how much I'd have to bleach my hair first, but in a few years it will be much easier to try out different colours.

[@nehaverma5881]

I started going grey at the age of 12..so I used to dye my hair since then..I still dye it and it pisses me off..d way people pitty you...I was loosing confidence, can't even concentrate on my studies,I hardly go out and have become a homebody,dis is the first time m commenting on any KZbin vid..

[@SpinstersLibrary]

You are not alone ♥️ I hope you find the confidence to be proud of your hair, whether you dye it or not!

[@KittyKayla]

GIRL I want that skincare routine!

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Cheap moisturiser and expensive sunscreen 😂

[@Blezzed17]

IT LOOKS GREAT

Subscribing mostly for the grayspiration, staying for your personality!

[@ivoryandgold88]

How interesting! I'm Hispanic and found my first gray hair at about 8yrs old. I am now 32 and it's roughly 20 to 30% but most of it is in a thick streak on the front and the rest scattered fairly evenly but you can see the dark brown more than on your hair. My mom also had me at 30yrs old and my maternal grandmother started going gray at 15yrs old. I get similar reactions to you. Most strangers think I've highlighted my hair. I love my gray (white) hair too! It's part of me now. I dyed it from my early teens to mid 20's but I've had it natural for many years now and will not touch it with permanent dye. My ex boyfriend and some family members have told me that I should dye it, that I would look younger but my dad, and even my hairdresser say it suits me and I agree. I've also found many of those undecided zebra hair strands throughout my life. In my profile photo my hair is parted covering the prominent white streak but the scattered bits are still visible.

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Hm, I wonder whether types with naturally dark hair go grey earlier or if it's just more noticeable when we do! I love the look of a bright grey streak though, glad you're rocking it (and got rid of the boyfriend who didn't like it 😂)

[@daisy9179]

I'm 14 got thick but lovely curly hair and my hair looks like yours did in the picture of when you were 20 with the plait

[@SpinstersLibrary]

Aw I always wanted curls!
