I am a 26 year old white male. I noticed my first gray hairs when I was 6 years old. By the time I reached age 13 I had significant gray hair and by 23 my entire head was gray (clear strands). Now I am 26 my head, beard, chest, and even pubic area are gray. I have always had dandruff and have seen many doctors and have had extensive bloodwork done with no success. My skin does not tolerate shampoo or any topical medication that I have been given by doctors so now I do not use any. I was orphaned at birth so i do not know if my situation is hereditary. And because of my bright blue eyes people constantly come up to me and ask if I have some time of medical condition that has made me like this. Believe it or not I get people that come up to me all the time to tell me that I look like a wolf. If you know of any tricks to reverse premature grays please let me know otherwise I will just have to deal with it.
Hello,
The causes of premature graying of hair could be nutrients and proteins deficiency in the hair cells, emotional or physical stress and dandruff. Other causes of premature graying of hair are an unclean condition of the scalp, washing the hair with hot water, drying it with an electric dryer, and use of hair dyes. Heredity is also a predisposing factor. If there is or nutritional deficiency then give your diet an overhaul if you're lacking vital nutrients for growth and switch to foods for healthy hair.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

My husband and I were both prematurely gray. Our four children are all prematurely gray. Blame it on genes. By the way I found my first gray hair before I hit my teens. Count yourself lucky.
