Perhaps you've found your first gray hair — or you already have a head full of them. Many women begin to spot gray hairs around age 30, but others start becoming silver foxes as early as their teens or as late as their forties. Think you know all there is to say about gray? Take this quiz to find out.

Guess I can't go gray, I know nothing about it!
1i have one gray hair, found basically as soon as i turned 25, and i HATE IT
2thankfully i part my hair on the other side and it's very well hidden by my hairstyle because i have bangs that sweep right over it, but still, i hate hate hate it, and when i pull it out, i learned that it will keep coming back with the same, if not more, wirey-ness. it's TERRIBLE!
i wonder when i can expect to get more.
3/5...I guess I know an okay amount of info about gray hair. Hope I don't find one anytime soon
3Man, I'm really glad I don't smoke!
40/5 I'm in my mid 20s and have a good few gray hairs.
I think it's cause I've recently started
to use a blow dryer every other day.
5Ha! My hair started turning grey when I was just a teenager. Now I have to dye my 90% grey hair -- but I only got 1 answer correct!
6I started getting grey hairs when I was around 10!!! It's horrible now, like half of my head is covered! So I have to constantly color my hair...
7I always thought stress could do it... but if not, that means I may get to avoid the grays for a little while longer
My mom has always touched up her roots, so I'm not really sure when I'd go gray or even to what extent, but I've always thought it would
be cool to be one of those awesome older ladies with long gray or white hair - I hate how older women seem to all chop their hair off, and I'm already planning my rebellion!
8A vitamin that helps prevent the graying of hair is Vitamin B-5, also known as pantothenic acid.
93/5 - My hair seems to get grayer every day. I take after my dad who also went gray pretty early.
104/5! I'm barely 15, so I doubt i'll need to worry about gray hair for a while, though.
11my dad was fully gray between 30 and 35... and im 24 and i have lots already, oh no!!!
12The hair really doesn't matter. the skin is more important.
134/5... i thought stress led to gray hair too. eh, i don't care if i have gray hair, so long as i have hair.
14The worst: finding your first gray in the "southern field"
15oh lord, 0/5..
16question two is quite funny!

18I'm 19, and I've already found a few gray hairs. :\
19i guess i know little about going grey. i thought i was well knowledged about it
20what was the story about the woman who was sentenced to hanging and overnight while waiting for her execution, her hair turned white with shock and they let her go because they could not recognize her? I doubt its a true story but it totally threw me off in #2!
21I found my first gray hair when I was maybe 15 and yanked it out, it was really thick and wiry. A few years later it came back! Same spot and everything, and I yanked it again. It was pure white, not gray though. Haven't seen it since but I won't be scared when it does, my great grandmother (whom we nicknamed 'blanca') had a full head of white hair by the time she was in her early 20s. It was a very odd thing, but it looked really lovely on her. My dad also went bald by his early 20s so I guess it's a family thing.
220/5 - and I started getting grey hairs in my early 20s.
Wish someone had told me about the smoking effect THEN since I was smoking a pack a day...is it fair to say I can blame EVERYTHING bad on smoking?
23I STARTED AT 18....HATE IT...IF THEY COULD JUST INVENT A SHAMPOO...COLORLESS SHAMPOO, HATE THE ONES THAT MAKE A MESS OF THE TUB...AND DON'T REALLY HELP MUCH....THAT WOULD RETURN HAIR TO IT'S NATURAL COLOR...THEY'D MAKE A MINT....OR A PILL....A PILL WOULD BE NICE...
24The women in my family have gorgeous shiny silver hair. The underneath layers of my hair are about 75% gray now, at 44, and my stylist says it looks great, so I may be one of the few women here who wishes it would gray faster!
25I'm graying early, too. It runs in my family. I have an uncle and cousin who were completely gray by their late 30's. I'm heading in that direction.
Personally, I don't mind. My hair is thick, healthy, and growing like a weed (I'm growing out my hair). My sister-in-law says my grays are pretty.
26Frankly, as long as I have hair, I don't care about getting gray hairs. I'd be far more concerned about thinning hair.
27Both my parents have grey streaks. I'm naturally blonde and have had a few grey hairs mixed in as long as I can remember. I'm not too concerned. My MIL has the most gorgeous naturally silver hair, people always think she dyes it!
28I let my hair go grey. I guess that's why I had no clue as to when dye for the stuff was invented!
29I'm 21 and I have too many gray hairs! They tend to grow in certain areas. It sucks. If I go looking for one, I'll be able to find several, for sure.
30I'm in my twenties and have quite a few whites (!) coming in already. but I like to think of them as aging highlights, no bleach required!!
314/5. I think silver grey is very beautiful.
32Call me crazy but I'd love to have a mane of gray. I think it's lovely.
331/5. I answered true for the second question because a few months ago I was attacked and stabbed at work and the next morning when I parted my hair I had between 20-30 gray hairs that weren't there the day before.
