Well this probably isn't what you want to hear - but my Dad was totally grey at 23, and I discovered my first grey hair at the age of 17 when I was still at school! LOL! Mostly it is genetic - if eithier of your parents went grey early, then chances are you will too! Haning said that - I am 50 now, and still not totally grey - just a few here and there, which, because I'm naturally light blonde anyway, don't show up at all! So maybe the ones you found this morning will the the only ones you'll get for the 20 years! If not - "L'Oreal" Excellence" is great for covering them!!

Gray Hair is not so bad! - gray haired woman
Gray hair is hereditary and my brother was 18 when he started going gray. My daughter is 40 and she doesn't have one gray hair! A word of advice to you from someone who knows....don't listen to all the crazy things people will tell you like "pull them out" and all the other little tidbits because they don't work.

My boyfriend is twenty one and already going gray. I believe his dads hair was completely gray by the age of twenty five. It could be stress or hereditary.
