Am I suffering from premature greying?

I was born with several naturally grey hairs. But within the last few years they have been increasing. I have about 70 of them in one general area. Is a sign of aging? Mind you Im 14 years old also.

Am I suffering from premature greying?

Hello

I understand you very well, I suppose is all genetic and hereditary from your father or grandfather. I and my brother had already grey hairs with seventeen, now we're both in our thirthies and we both are half grey and black. It's not so bad and it's more important to have hairs than not.

You can't influence it and nothing can be done about it, you must accept it and don't take care what other people say. Some of your school friends and girls maybe will take jokes about it and laugh, but you must have self-esteem and not listen to them. Don't make you a problem about it, because it's from the nature and you can't influence it.

If it will disturb you in the later future you can dye them, like I and my brother did it at the age of 22. Now in our thirthies it's not more necessary to dye them, because it's normal at that age to have grey hairs. You must always think that women like that too, they sure will not take you only for your hairs.

Like I said you before, when you will grown older you will see that a lot of your friend and other men will loose their hair. So than it's better to have them full and grey.

The time and speed of grey hair onset is due in part to genetics, and early onset of grey hair can run in families. Occasionally, a few grey hairs can develop in children, even as young as eight years and generally develop with increasing age. The gradual development of grey hair occurs when melanocytes produce less pigment.

Melanocytes are the cells responsible for pigment formation in both the skin and hair. Grey hair is an optical illusion caused by the present of one white hair amongst other black hair. The greying first develops on the beard, moustache, side locks and/or at the temples. This greying may spread to other parts of the head with time.

Pre-Mature Greying As A Sign Of Disease

Very often, premature greying can be a sign of disease wherein the greying is not hereditary but is caused by an underlying disease. It can occur with a number of conditions, including hyperthyroidism, hormonal imbalance, hypothyroidism and pernicious anemia (greying of hair along with symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath and possibly chest pains), genetic disorders, Vitamin B12 deficiency.

Werner閳ユ獨 syndrome and Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome are two such conditions, which can cause the hair to grey. Prematurely grey hair is often one of the earliest signs of Werner閳ユ獨 syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, which usually presents in persons at about 20 years of age, but sometimes appears as early as eight years.
