I never saw any person who is young, I mean young as in less than 40 years old, who has naturally white or gray hair. Do these people exist? I saw a cartoon where a teenager has white hair.

I'm curious.. Why is my hair never turned to gray before turning white?... As far as i see and know, when i looked in the mirror and look for some white hair. Sometimes i encounter some half white half black hair and never saw a grey hair at all. I'm 17 years old and I encounter this problem when i was 15 years old. I'm pretty sure that it is inline with my Nutrition because since i am young and till now I eat lots of meat and i rarely eat vegetables and seafoods.. only sometimes fruits . I don't maybe i should switch to a new diet.. Perhaps, a Vegetarian Diet and yogart and milk after eating. Is there's a possibility to gain my black hair again? And what vitamins/minerals i am lack of?

My Mom got her first gray streak in her hair before she was 20. She kept that one streak for a while, then in her 30's the rest started getting gray. All of her hair was gray by the time she was 40. I don't know what causes it, but I've seen it happen to others also.

Yes they do. It's genetic. My great aunt had completely white hair by te time she was in her early 20's. I started having noticeable gray at 18. Ten years later my hair is more than 70% if I do not keep it colored.

Look at the picture pasted here He is Robin1, one of may myloters, younger than 40 year. His hair is whitish gray as I found in the picture of his avatar. This is one of the many examples contradicting your statement that you have never seen any person in younger age than 40 years.

Yes. I see some kids here who others call "Albino". They do not have any pigments that cause them to appear white everywhere, even in the hair. I also have classmates during high school who have some white hair, which can easily noticed because of their black hair.

Yes I saw some younger people whi has white hairs. Just like my schoolmate in college. So funny becuase the ony white hairs is in front. Another on emy workmate, whos is just 19yo. They said it's genetic. They acquired it from they parents who have white hairs in younger years.
