I occasionally have a few, right in the middle of my head. But they blend nicely with my hair so they are not noticeable. They only become noticeable to me when they decide to stand straight up - or should I go looking for them. I blame work for mine. My mother had some gray early, and of course she blamed the three of us.

I've found several in the last couple of months. I pulled the first few out, but decided that they are just multiplying when I do that... I think the spores spread or something. Right now, most of them blend in because my hair is naturally several colors from medium brown to blonde. Haven't started coloring it yet... but I might have to think about it.
I lay the blame on my husband. He's very proud of himself for this as he's 13 years older than me and has tons of gray already.

Doug has no clue that he actually does have one gray hair. It's on the back of his head. Since his wife apparently hasn't mentioned it to him (she colors her hair every 2 or 3 weeks), I decided that I wouldn't tell him either.
Pambo has really pretty salt & pepper hair. She's self conscious about her grays, but won't color them. I'll never forget the day it all finally got to her... we were driving back from lunch, and she asked, "Is it me or am I getting really gray?" I gave her a long pause, looked out the side window toward where the area where our comany campus was under construction and said "OOOooohhh.. look at the cranes!" Pambo: "Are you trying to change the subject?" Me: "No good can come of answering that question regardless of what I say. Therefore, lookit the cranes!" We laughed so hard over that. To this day "lookit the cranes" is the standard answer for "I'm not answering that!"

I have some gray at the temples. I am glad I am not balding like my father did, seem to be thinning more like my mother. Since my wife cuts my hair I gave her permission to cut it short if it starts to look like a comb-over
Okay, okay. I give. Mema said I'm pretty salt & pepper but, I am hopelessly gray & I refuse to color it. I EARNED these suckers! Yeah, sometimes I'm self conscious about it...c'mon it's a young person's world. But if I am truly honest about it...I kinda think it's funny. I call them my platinum highlights. My husband is as platinum as I am so he can't give me too much crap. Both of my kids have already had grays (they're 19 & 11). They tease me but I can get them right back.
I found my first one when I was 19. My dad was completely silver headed by 40. His mom was completely silver by 30. I'm pushing 40 but I'm not completely silver yet.
The reason mine is so apparent is that I have really long hair. It just looks like I have a lot of gray because they're each about 18" long. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself....
) in my family keep their hair, so I am ok with it.
