Finding that first grey hair is never a cause for celebration. For the vast majority of us, it's just another reminder that old age is advancing a little faster than we would like.
But while the rate at which our hair colour changes is largely dictated by our genes there is some good news.
I've worked in this field for more than two decades, and in recent years there has been a growing body of research showing that, for some of us at least, there are ways to slow the rate at which our hair transitions to this state.
These include tackling stress at work or home - it can damage the delicate cells in the scalp that control hair colour - covering the head in the sun to protect against UV rays and even getting medical checks to ensure turning grey isn't due to a hidden ailment.
And perhaps most surprisingly, research suggests that eating red meat, such as liver, could help preserve hair colour.
This is bad news for Britain's estimated 2.5 million vegans, because as healthy as it is, a vegan diet lacks vital nutrients that protect hair against the ageing process.
Unfortunately, if you have a strong family history of relatives going completely grey in their 20s or 30s, COMPRAR Champix genérico your fate is probably sealed
In fact, I estimate that being vegan speeds up the greying process by about five years.
Of course, grey hair is nothing to be ashamed of, and it's great to see high-profile celebs, such as Hollywood stars Salma Hayek and George Clooney - as well as Britain's own stage and screen legend Dame Helen Mirren - embracing their natural colour changes.
The greying process is often misunderstood. With age, our melanocytes (tiny cells in the skin that produce melanin, the pigment that gives our skin and hair colour) start to fail. The result is that hair doesn't actually go grey - it becomes translucent, only appearing grey because it reflects the light from surrounding darker hairs.
But the fact is that millions of us go to extraordinary lengths to hide it.
Figures show UK consumers spend £280 million a year on hair dyes and colourants to cover unwanted silver threads. And it's hardly surprising.
While the ‘silver fox' look may be in vogue for some older men, surveys show turning grey ages most males by at least three years. For women, it's even worse - they are judged to have aged by an average of six years and, research shows, are seen as less competent by others who have yet to lose their natural colour.
Unfortunately, if you have a strong family history of relatives going completely grey in their 20s or 30s, your fate is probably sealed. And there is no obvious cure for grey hair on the horizon.
