Could it be genetics?

STRESS causes it

genetics.
which is scary, cause my mom was completely grey at 35. That's okay, though..I've been dying mine since 13 anyway.

Genetics
Stress
Hormones

Age.

Loss of melanin in the hair. Melanin is resposible for the color in the hair. No one is sure why this happens to some people at a very early age, or why some people in the 70's still have a full head of hair in their natural color.

my friend Josh had it 2. Well it's common i had a strand of gold hair 1 time

Genetics mainly and sometimes excessive stress

it could be genetic check if anyone in ur family had premature white hair.
it could be stress related or nutrional .some autoimmune reaction going in ur mealnocytes which kills them and causes graying of the hair
why dont u contact ur local Dermatologest they might help u ?.

take care

P.S melanocytes r the cells that make melanin the pigment of hair and skin..

Stress and genetics are the two main factors. In my own case (this is true, by the way).I got married when I was 26 and had gray hair before my 27th birthday!
