Did your hair start turning grey at a young age?

I was 11. By 13 it was so much that my mom started letting me dye it. What about you?

@itsok That's extreme! You probably don't have any color left by now. Mine started at age 33.

I have vitiligo. It looks different in different lighting. In the sunlight it looks almost all white/silver/gray and indoors and lower light it looks brownish with white streaks. I have some of my natural color left underneath near my neck, and it’s very dark brown. Here is bright light and low light. It’s kinda weird.

Thank you. I don’t care about it now, but as a preteen with gray hair I was not happy 😄@SW-User

@itsok may I ask, is only your head hair involved?

@itsok woah...

Like if I have a patch of skin on my leg that loses color, the hair on that place loses it too. I have eyelashes that are white, and things like that. @SW-User

@itsok are you in a support group?
itsok · 31-35, F
Yeah I’m part of VSI (vitiligo support international). I also joined the vitiligo group here on SW but nobody uses it. @samueltyler2
