This came from a mayo clinic write up. Hope it helps.
Gray hair is typically a result of natural aging. Pigment in the hair shaft comes from special cells at the root (base) of the hair. These cells are genetically programmed to make a certain amount of pigment (melanin) at specific ages. At some point in the aging process, these cells make less and less pigment until the hair has very little pigment. White hair has no pigment, and gray hair has some but not as much as a red, black or brown hair.
Not all hairs respond in the same way or at the same time. So the graying process usually is gradual. You can't prevent graying. Some people start graying in their 30s, and some not until their 60s. Genetics likely play a strong role in graying.
People rarely go gray overnight. If they do, it's typically due to alopecia areata. This condition causes the thicker, darker hairs to stop growing before it affects the growth of gray hairs — giving the impression of graying overnight. Alopecia areata eventually causes roundish patches of hair loss or complete loss of hair on the head or body. Its cause isn't known.

Hi jujuw,
If you got kids that'll definately give you grey hair, & the older you get grey hair is popular (all older people have grey hair unless they dye it ) and genetics does it's part to. I got grey hair at forty in the temple area but when I am feeling vain I dye it! Have a good day! :0)

i think it has to do with the pigment granules of the hair...over time they stop producing the color of ur hair....the rate at which they do this has something to do with genetics...usually the hair around the temples are the first to undergo this transition.

Some times it is because you are getting old and other times it is because of stress and pressure.
I Hope I helped!
