Why do some people get grey hair so young in life and some people do not?  Is this stress related?

it is a mixture of stress, genetic link and biologically changes in your body, your dietcan also influnce it! I started balding at 19, (my grandad was bald by 18 so i've done well!) My girlfriend also is greying and shes under 30, but she does stress out a lot.

Hereditary hair lost occurs between the age of 17 to 25.Stress does have a factor.Use Nioxon,originally design for people going through kemo,all vitamins and herbs.You find it in salons.But remember it will only give what you have -if a follicle is dead and gone nothing will help.But it will stop you from losing more.

My dad said he starting seeing grey hair when he was 16. He had black hair. In his mid 20's he was nearly all white headed.

It could be stress or perhaps you need a better shampoo to make you're hair stronger. I am having the same problem and I am also 20.

That is a beautiful thing....sounds like you are living your life to the fullest, and that's all anyone can hope for.\nIn my late 30's I am still concerned w/ my appearance. I won't lie here, I still check on new wrinkles, grey hairs etc. I am not obsessed mind you, but with each passing day I realize more and more the importance w/ being who I am and not allowing myself to be overly critical of myself. I am much happier as a 30 something yr old than I ever was at any other age. \nI like to think I'm like a fine wine....only getting better w/ age!\nLIVE, LOVE, LAUGH I say!!

The hair below may not be as light as the hair that is atop our heads because the hair on our heads is exposed to the effects of sun. \n\nMy hair is fairly light all over, something you may not know is that when you get older and the hair on your head begins to turn gray your hair "down under" may also turn gray!  \n\nMy great grandmother told me once after it turned gray that all the hair fell out, but I don't know if that was the truth, (I never looked to see) if I live that long I am sure I will find out though! :D\nruthie~

heritage, genetics, life.  Any answer could give you many scientific ideas as to why your hair gets darker over time, even blondes sometmes have that happen.  It's just a mixture of things, like why someone's skin is darker, or lighter or like in my case, I'm in my 30's, I'm a male, and have no body hair.  So you'd have to think that there's many factors involved.

i think it's a freak of nature. in any case, i have a friend who has a grey strand of hair groing just below her left eye. and a colleague who has a long strand of hair, grey too, on her right elbow. both of them consider these their lucky strands!

stress and old age. \n\nHair typically turns gray as a result of aging. Pigment in the hair shaft comes from special cells at the root (base) of the hair. These cells are genetically programmed to make a certain amount of pigment (melanin) at specific ages. At some point in the aging process, these cells make less and less pigment until the hair has very little pigment. White hair has no pigment, and gray hair has some but not as much as a red, black or brown hair.\n\nNot all hairs respond in the same way or at the same time. So the graying process usually is gradual. You can't prevent graying. Some people start graying in their 30s, and some not until their 60s. Genetics likely play a strong role in graying.\n\nPeople rarely go gray overnight. If they do, it's typically due to alopecia areata. This condition causes the thicker, darker hairs to stop growing before it affects the growth of gray hairs — giving the impression of graying overnight. Alopecia areata eventually causes roundish patches of hair loss or complete loss of hair on the head or body. Its cause isn't known.

The darker your pigmentation, the thicker and darker your hair is going to be. It`s a genetic trait. Most people have the same amount of hair.\nA very light colored blond will have just at much hair, but it is much much thinner and lighter so not nearly as obvious.

I dont personally think you hair colors makes you more fun. Its all about the person as a whole. Everybody has fun!

Its been happening to me for 7 years and i still have a long way to go. It might have something to do with sun exposure. My beard is white , my mustache more white than black, and DMV lists my hair color as gray.

Hair turns gray as we age because the follicles at the base of the hair shaft cease to produce melanin. Each follicle contains a finite number of pigment cells. These pigment cells produce melanin, a chemical that gives the hair shaft (the visible strands) its color (black, brown, blonde, red, and all shades in between.) The darkness or lightness of your hair depends on how much melanin each strand contains. Melanin is the same pigment that makes skin tan upon exposure to the sun.\n\nWith age, the pigment cells in the follicle gradually die off. As they do so, that strand will no longer contain as much color and will show up as silver, gray, or white as it grows. Eventually, all the pigment cells will die and the hair becomes completely gray.\n\nThe age at which you go gray is determined by your genes.

Grey hair occurs because there is a lack of pigmentation available to "color" the hair as it grows out of the follicle.  People gray at different rates, but losing pigment is uaully a genetic issue.  Did your parents grey prematurely?

people have that pigmentation variations all over their body, such as birth marks, or an increased melanin patch somewhere, some ppl lack melanin in some parts of their body. It just so happens that that variation happend on their penis head.
