    I've heard it said that every time you pull out a grey hair 4 more come to its funeral.
    Yep I heard that too...

    I think it can be related to stress. Maybe it's a combo of stress & genetics. My mum went grey quite early & she has suffered significant stress in her life particularly in her late teens & early twenties. She comes from a large family who otherwise seem blessed with late greying hair. I don't have any scientific studies to back that up though.

    I really don't think it has anything to do with stress.

    My aunt went grey in her twenties in a family of ten where none of the others went grey prematurely. I think that's just throwback genetics. She did not suffer more stress than anyone else.

    I'd like to be a little more grey. Goes better with my wig. And makes me look more authentic
