    Anna, your hair reminds me of Sophie from "Howl's Moving Castle" if you haven't seen the movie it's about an 18 year old girl cursed by a witch who turned her into a 90 year old lady, by the end of the movie when Sophie manages to break the spell, she keeps her hair gray and Howl tells her "Sophie your hair looks just like starlight, it's beautiful". That's what your hair is Anna, Starlight.

    I started going grey around 18-19. I felt uneasy with it for a while, but a few years later, when it became really noticeable (dark brown hair with bright silver and platinum greys), my children saw me take my hair down (I always have it tied up and out of my face) to brush it and said "WOW mommy! Your hair is so pretty, it looks like star light!" BEST. COMPLIMENT. EVER!

      When I was little I had a summer school teacher who had a silver strand of hair in her hair (she was about mid 20s), and when one of the kids mentioned it, she talked about how all of the other women in her family's hair turned silver in their early 20's and how she was quite sad because she really wanted her hair to turn all silvery like all of her family's and it hadn't yet. She was very fond of their hair and said their hair was so beautiful to her and she wished for it so badly. (Im not describing the way she described it as well but she really did seem like it was one of the prettiest things to her, and its tiring that so many people see silvery grey hair as a bad thing when really its not.

      Wow... Would she react that way whenever people regardless of gender say that graying hair/visably aging looks good/sexy/charming/smart etc on men, I wonder? Or would she rather prefer all guys want unequal beauty standards ONLY? That women have to be pressured to pay MUCH MORE of their money, work, time, mental health/anxiety striving MUCH HARDER than men to look as young as possible, dying every gray hair throughout several decades? Would she prefer those old, opressive, unequal beauty standards for men vs women never changed for the better -for her own gender?! She must have been EXTREMELY jealous to go on like a basic bimbo 12-year old, I think.. That story reminds me mostly of some schoolgirls in my class at that tender/sexually insecure age between childhood and teens.. It would be the smartest thing, come to think of it, to dye silver/white streaks in ones hair from an early age -ESPECIALLY as a girl/woman in a culture that capitalizes on girls/women being insecure, anxious and mentally ill about not looking young enough (or not enough of whatever beauty standard). You can get smart with what you spend your money on even if you lack the genes for going gray gradually from a very early age.. Because when your hair starts to go gray naturally, you are already used to it looking that way and no big deal... Saves LOADS of your mental health.

      For my specific case (diagnosed major depressive disorder for 10 years which got re-diagnosed 3 years ago to what I actually have: bipolar type2, borderline tendencies and general emotional instability)
      it's all about finding balance in my life. If I push myself to hard when I'm feeling amazing, I'm halfway down the depression vortex sooner or later😂.
      So I really cannot give you good advice, but I am on medication and go to two different therapies once a week and that helps a lot😅
      Edit on existentialism: be active, make things with your own hands, try to do stuff even If it seems irrelevant. Find the beauty in the moment, go into nature, find meaning in helping others, talk to people how they feel and tell them about how you feel;
      even if we are void of meaning in this great cosmos, we still are here and have experiences, love people and experience emotions. That could never be void of meaning for us.

It seemed unfair that everyone else started getting boobs during puberty while I got grey hair. Now I rock it. Both boobs and grey hair haha.

When I was young, she used to wear it in a plait that reached long down her back. Nowadays, I'm growing my hair out and I want to end up with it at least as long as I remember hers. (She used to allow me to cling to it in the swimming pool as she'd tug me around in the water!) So far it's almost down to my butt... No greys for me yet though!

    Hello silver sister! I am so glad to have found your channel. I relate to your story so much. I started going grey in middle school too! By high school had a few streaks and when I hit 25, I was already more than salt and pepper. I did dye my hair and it took about two years of no dying to grow it out shoulder length. It’s a beautiful silver color, and it got more compliments than any other color I have dyed it. Sadly, I got a wild hair in quarantine and dyed it hunter green. I’m starting the growing out process again because I miss my silver so much. But the hunter green has faded to a beautiful mint green and blends beautifully with my silver roots. It looks intentional. My stylist thinks it will turn completely white by the time I’m 40 which would be awesome. I’m 34 right now. It is nice to find someone else who went grey so early.

    I LOVE your hair, it's stunning! And what he said about you being "A silver haired fairy" was probably the he sweetest thing I've ever heard someone say about grey!
    I'm surprised how many young people on here have started to turn grey. I started when I was about 16 or 17, now I'm 28. My brother also started in his teens but when we moved away from our Dad and the awful stress he caused my brother's hair went back to normal. So weird. Mine however has continued to go silvery grey, between many overly stressful years on the ranch with my Dad and then with my ex Husband I think that was the contributing factor for me. I have dark Auburn/brown so it's kind of contrasting. Most of mine is in the sides and back so doesn't show when my hair is down but rather when it's up. Which is how I have it mostly to protect it, but I have grey hairs that are long and go through the whole length of my waist length hair. I love how long yours is too! I hate how people think they should tell me I need to dye it or lop off all my hair. I mean I've had long hair my whole life, it's thick has red tints and had silvery hairs, I love my hair and it's pretty rude and bold of people to think they know best for it. I do find it a little weird though that my grey's are a completely different consistentsy that the colored. I think you mentioned that in another video.

      Usually gray/white hair is actually really resilient to dyes and bleach doesn’t just make it easier for dye just because it’s lighter it’s actually cause it gives the hair a kind of grit and works as a primer so people with natural blonde hair might have dye not stick as well as someone with bleached hair and the color may not last as long

      Ok stop. There is a huge pressure on everyone, male/female/you name it, in terms of societal pressures, how to look, how to act, how your mental health should be, your income, from your status and to how you should live your life. It’s not just one group. Everyone gets it in one form or another and no one group has it worse than the other for a variety of reasons.
      The choice to conform to these standards is up to the individual. I know I’m certainly not conforming to any of them. Wear what you want. You don’t want to wear makeup? Don’t. Want to wear something most folks don’t find flattering? Do it because you want to. Do what makes you happy, not what you think others might be happy with (unless you are committing actual crimes.. then please don’t do that).
      I just found my first couple grey hairs recently (29) and honestly I’d love it if it went the same way as PrettyShepherd’s hair. I personally find it beautiful! Definitely attributing it to the stresses this year above and beyond covid. This year has just been one series of bad events, death, illness, mental health, physical injury, crippling financial destitution and misfortune. Hopefully next year isn’t as bad? But I’ve probably just jinxed myself there.. still a few weeks left in the year. Would be neat if my hair did have a sort of symbolic chrysalis transformation in response. Maybe not a good thing but a nice souvenir at least, got to find some sort of humour this year after all?

I would have periods of furious acne and periods where I’d only get two or three bad pimples, but never fully gone. My face is so covered in acne scars and dark spots, I can’t cover it with makeup. I never really liked makeup anyway since I could never get a smooth appearance. I’m 23 now still with acne, but I don’t bother covering it up.

      Stress has unbelievable power. I think I got fibromyalgia (which is a chronic illness) from stress possibly, because it's not genetic for me (at the age of 21 too). Still have dark blonde hair though , no grays 😂 rather have gray hair than the fibro though lol.

At 28 I became tired of spending so much money at the salon coloring my hair every few weeks I decided to embrace my grey. I am now 31 and love the grey in my hair, it mostly frames my face. I get many compliments but also a few rude comments about it that I simply ignore.

    I relate when you say you were pressured or suggested to color your hair. I was actually pressured by my mom! :D I started going grey when I was sophomore high school, and I do think emotions can be a big factor as well, since that was the time when my life had changed more.
    I actually did color my hair when I was about 21 years old, but then I decided I don’t want to color it anymore when I was 24. As you said, didn’t care about the society’s expectations on how a girl/woman should be to be pretty! I embraced my white hair, because it expresses me, and I love it. Other people can get used to it.

    It's so interesting to hear/see how different everyone's hair is. My mom's bangs started to go grey when she was in her late 20s. She dyed her hair for a long time. In her 50s she stopped colouring her hair (basically out of laziness) and she was amazed that still only her bangs are grey. Over the last years it got a little bit more, but it's still completely silver bangs (well she's not actually having bangs, but the hair growing in the area you would cut shorter for bangs. I'm not a native speaker, so I don't know how to describe it better) and just some grey hair between the rest.

      It is different when you're young with grey hair because your youth and vitality still shine through and will for a very long time! It will make people look twice because that makes you unique. My hair turns a very white shiny grey as well but I am much older. I think you can spin this into a positive! For one thing you won't be dreading going grey in your older years, you are mastering it right now. One of the most beautiful women I knew went white grey in her 20s. She was stunning. 💛

    My hair is curly, frizzy and fragile (and now at the age of 28 going grey) but it's not super curly like some thick haired goddesses. It's fairly thin. I've fought the frizz and still get self conscious about it. Finding unique people such as yourself helps though :)
    I wish more curly haired people understood how important the cut of one's hair is for it to look good.
    Also I wish less hairdressers would blowdry my curly hair (without diffuser) while scrunching it with mousse saying "this will really bring out your curls!" and then let me leave looking like a limp poodle.

At first I was like "what is this? a black hair?", started pulling it and realized, it's attached to my head! Now I have about 30 of them, spread all over my skalp and also have found some brown hair to mix it up and people think I have died my hair with highlights, as I literally now have everything from black to platin blonde on my head. In the winter (when we don't have ANY sunshine for months - yepp that's how far up North I am) it turns a grey-ish dirty blonde, but low and behold when the sun return, those lighter hairs sun bleach within a week or two, making it look like I'm re-dying my hair every few days, because they keep chaning. Now my friends (so people who see my hair without a hat) know that it's my natural hair, but sometimes some people still ask my, why I dye my hair so often and if I'm not worried that it will fall out (I haven't dyed my hair in years btw haha)

    And around five years ago I started shaving my head completely, and every time I was a bit lazy with keeping it short I could see more and more grey each time so last christmas I decided to stop shaving it off and let it grow out to see how it would look. (also greatly inspired by you and other costubers like bernadette, morgan and so on).
    So now I am 31 it's been a year since I last cut my hair and I am loving the looks of it! :D It's not nearly as grey as I would like, but it is there and it makes me so happy.

    Have never dyed my hair, and never will. Even when the greys come. I will only live once in this body, and I wanna see it turn as it should. U look so lovely with ur hair, and I'm really looking forward when my hair turns completely. So far I'm only grey on the hair that is the lower layers. But the top of my hair still retains it's reddish chestnut colour.
