I'm 17 and have grey hairs!

I have just found a few in my hair! :s-smilie:

Should I be worried? My hair is naturally really dark so they show up easily. I die my hair every few months could this be a reason?

I'm 16 and I get them too - I also have brown hair but i've never dyed it, and my hair dresser said that dying it wont make a difference - it wont make any more hairs grey, they just do it on their own. which sucks!!

As scary as it sounds - it's totally normal. Just pluck them.

All I can say, is live with it really.

I have over a hundred - I'm only slightly older than you
I first got my white hair at 11.

Whats worse, getting them at 17 or 11?

Also, is it noticeable?
Mine are :smile:

And I'm alright with having them :biggrin:

look cool yeah

My ex boyfriend had loads (from being about 15 I think) and I know alot of other young people with them. Its no big deal, run over them with mascara if it bothers you :smile:

it's more common than you think , for most people it's hereditary but there's a slight chance it's due to a vitamin defficiency.

I would never have thought of that.

you're fine! totally normal :smile:

however, the dying of your hair probably played a big factor in you getting grey hairs this early.

I have been lacking in my consumption of 5 portions of fruit and veg recently, I'll try and eat more!

I sometimes do that.

My mum makes a special herbed dye for me - leave it on for 6-10 hours. so my hair gets all the nutrients etc. And white hairs become golden
