Well I'm not a child anymore I'm more of like a teenager but when I was eight years old, my hair began to grow grey hair (I have black hair). I never coloured my hair because my parents are afraid that if I coloured my hair it would ruin it and my grey hairs would multiply, but it is multiplying anyways. As of right now my hair isn't actually fully grey but there a lot of it that some people can see it. I didn't do anything about it so I've had it for six years now, but I've always been curious if it is normal.

Some people just get grey hair earlier than others. Its not abnormal.

My son is 7 yrs old, and started getting grey hair last year. He doesn't have a lot just a couple strands, he calls it his smart hairs....LOL I also think its kinda funny my 6 yr old had his first grey hair before ME!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
I was worried, because I did hear some rare disorders could cause premature greying.......But my sons father was already salt/peppery when he was 20. His mom doesn't remember when the first grey hair started. Anyways, if your worried go to the doctor and ask...your not alone though!!

Unusual yes, abnormal no. It's hereditary if you were to look into your ancestors you'd doubtless find others the same way.
Growing up I knew a woman who's hair was completely grey and she was in her 30's. When I was in my 20's I had a patch of hair on my forehead that was pure white I'm blond so it didn't stand out to much and it's fallen out since, but it looked odd to me at the time.

Yeah I know some people who started greying when they were little and now they have grey hair and they're perfectly normal (one is my age, 26). Some people just grey quicker than others.

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://bitly.im/aMvxz While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

My dad once told there are special natural chemicals that decide your hair color, maybe due toa gene defect, said person's hair may turn grey.

Perhaps in your family there are other people who have gray hair early in their lives. This is a hereditary condition. There is no problem if you colour it.
