Answer 2

If this is a single grey hair and not a large group in one spot, then it is simply marking the death of a hair follicle. As we age our hair follicles die and the color cell becomes transparent. While it can be accelerated by outside factors such as chemicals, climate, health, it is largely genetic and not wholly unheard of or uncommon for this to begin happening at a very early age such as adolesence. I worked with a young woman who was just 21 and her hair was salt and pepper, more grey than my mothers. Some people just have this occur early naturally.
