Going grey prematurely, is it normal?

75% Normal
17 Comments

I noticed i had a couple of grey hairs about a year or so ago and thought nothing of it and just plucked them out. i thought that perhaps they were rogue hairs or maybe i had gone grey from some of the frightening or stressfull experiences in my life. However, recently i have noticed that there are atleast 20 of them in this area now and have recently found grey hairs in completely different areas of my hair. im very dark-haired so they're very noticable.

is it normal?

    Some people do grey early. It might have to do with genetics. This is not very common but I have seen this happen before. All you can do is dye it though.

    It could be due to large amounts of stress or genetics.

    If you're going grey, you're going gay!

    If someone says anything about it, say you have air bubbles in your hair shafts. I knew a guy that was totally gray before he was 30. He looked great. Don't worry or you'll get more grays. I'm 62 and have
    no gray hair. I've earned and deserve it.
    Go figure.

    My grandmothers hair was completely white by 16. It's all in the genes.

    it's in the genes... I started noticing grey at 15 and by age 29 started to color my hair, been doing it ever since. I'm old enough now that I could get away with lettingit grow out but I'm not ready it makes you look older. my son has a lot of grey and he's 17 but at least his hair is light brown

    If you're going grey prematurely, it most likely means you're lacking essential vitamins and/or nutrients.

    Not entirely normal, but don't worry about it: Ladies like a 'distinguished' looking guy. :D
