Is it normal that im young and have grey hair?

I mean I'm really young. I'm 18. They are spreading really fast too. I don't stress at all! I'm a very relaxed person. I have jet black hair so its noticeable. My father had grey hair when he was younger than me. I would say in his teens. It could be genetics but I'm scared that I might be sick.

    Since your dad went grey young it probably just runs in your family. I dated some one whose hair was over 1/2 gray and he was only 21 . He told me his hair started getting grey in high school and so did his dad . I thought it looked good looking so young but with greeting hair most girls I know like the look on guys. My aunt started getting grey at 19 & dyed it real light blonde she says she doesn't know when it went all grey cause she never stopped dying it and she's in her 80's now.

    I know plenty of guys who've gone grey in their teens. Same reason that some people go bald early, myself included. It's got something to with the follicle.

  • nah, you're ok. If it bothers you, just dye your hair jet black and you'll be fine.

    It's a pigmentary abnormality I think... I have the same but I also have white spots all over my body... they also form an "S" on my back which looks pretty funny =P

    I don't bother too much but it's annoying because those white spots burn easy in the sun and turn pink -.-

    It happens when I was younger I had very light brown hair and grey hairs, now my hair is a very dark brown. It changes over time and also depends on where you live, enviroment plays a factor.

    I remember when I was in high school, a number of Tongans and Filipinos had a few noticeable strands of grey hair. I doubt it's anything to worry about.

    It'll be genetics. I wouldn't worry too much about it. It hasn't seemed to do much harm to Steve Martin.
