I know it does depend.
I got my first grey hair at 30 but my grandpa got his first one at 16 and my mom got her first one at 21. So, it depends on genetics I am sure.
But I'd say if it's just a couple then pull them out. I would.
But might be on safe side, if you want, to get him checked at the doctor but by and large could be nothing, probably he is just healthy but unlucky with hair color and genetics as far as getting grey.

Some people in my mother's family started getting it at 12 years old. I started in my early 20s. I'm 27 now.

Any age really. I have known several people that have been almost completely white by the time they were 16. It's a genetic thing.
Good luck, HTH

Any time really, although 17 is very young. But not unheard of.
Maybe get some blood work to make sure though.

Actually, any age. Some people are actually born with white streaks in their hair.
