The onset of grey hair and the speed at which people go grey varies considerably from person. Most people actually start going grey in their late 20s but they don't notice it immediately.

Premature graying is defined as grey hair onset before late teens for Caucasians and before age 30 in Africans and Asians, or alternatively 50% or more grey scalp hair before age 50.

It is externally important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms: if you treat yourself for the wrong illness or a specific symptom of a complex disease, you may delay legitimate treatment of a serious underlying problem.

In order words, the greatest danger in self-treatment may be self-diagnosis. If you do not know what you really have, you can not treat it!

It is difficult to weed out misinformation and piece together countless facts in order to see the big picture.

The time and speed of grey-hair onset due in part to genetics, and early onset grey hair development can run in families.

The hair has a tendency to lose its natural colour with advancing age and turn grey, but premature graying is a morbid condition and it makes even the young look order.
