I'm 24 now and I've been *forced* to dye my hair repeatedly because I have a LOT of silver hairs now. Ive had grey hair since I was 15 how could that be? I have 3 siblings all older than me that have NO gray hair and my parents didnt go gray until they were almost 35. Why am I the only one? I really don't think it could be stress :(

Normally gray hair is a natural result of aging and heridity. However, in your case, since you are so young, it might be to a defiency or an imbalance. You might talk to your doctor about b-12 defiency, anemia or a thyroid imbalance. It might be nothing but it's worth checking out.

You could have just lucked out & got the recessent gene in your gene pool. My mother had a nice big patch of gray when she was 14 that covered about 5-10% of her head. I don't have a single gray. Her mother is 65 & is still fairly dark haired, and her father had only a few greys untill the end.
Its luck. Well, bad luck, but pretty much luck none the less.

try multy vitamins for a couple months I know that sounds strange but theres a chance it could be a vitamin deficency, once I shaved my boyfriends head for the summer and we both gasped it turned out a patch of his hair turned gray and some fell out we were teens at the time, anyways me being a chem student got the hunch to try the vitamins thing in a couple months his hiar was brown and thick and still is 5 years later.

If you have really dark hair then it's more noticable when you start to go grey... are your siblings as dark haired as you? Also redheads/ginger haired people tent to go grey more quickly than other coloured hair. If you are fair it doesn't notice much.
I have a friend who went almost completely grey at age 16. It's tough :o( At least we have good hair dyes nowadays!!
Take care!

Its all about genetics. Somebody in your family probably has the same problem. My mom has had grey hair since she was 18 , my brother doesn't have it and neither do I. Your just going to have to keep on dying your hair, dont worry my mom has to too.

I bet it is genetics. You said your parents didn't get it until they were 35 but you should ask it anyone else in your family has it. It doesn't mean that you had to get it from your parents. If not, it almost has to be from stress.

it is. i may be 13, but my pitching coach told me i could get gray hairs by age 16 if i stress too much about my pitching. i believe its probably the same deal for you. maybe a day at the spa will help!! haha
good luck

See a doctor. You may be lacking some important nutrients.
