I've been finding gray hairs here and there for several years. Curiously, I'd pull one out and it would be back to my brunette near the root so I thought that maybe some graying is reversible. I found out from a friend who reads a lot about vitamins, etc. that the B-Complex helped him fight the encroaching gray. But I have no other references for this effect.
My husband is much grayer than his brother who is 5 years older and had noticeable gray streaks in his early thirties. I will turn 46 on Friday and I am just now getting what I consider noticeable streaks. I had a hair dresser tell me that I could dye my hair to make it more manageable because it's fine and the dye would make it thicker (assuming I didn't bleach it) but she hasn't yet suggested that I cover my gray. My mother had short hair (from when I was little to when she died) and frosted the ends when she started going gray in the late 1970s. She then let it go gray naturally.
Another friend did dye her gray hair when she was laid off and looking for another job.
I have long wanted to experiment with making my hair a bit redder so I may eventually do that but I haven't done anything with my gray hairs yet. I suppose if I decide/need to look for employment elsewhere I will more seriously consider covering the gray.
