I have had early greying of hair I think. I have lots of grey around my temples and it makes me feel old. No one eles I know has as much as I do at my age.

It usually is genetically determined.

Assuming that it is not hereditary in your case, just make sure you have a healthy diet. Try to find a supplement containing PABA and Folic Acid. All the B Vitamins in fact are necessary for the production of hair colour. Also Copper is important for hair colour production. A good multimineral supplement containing copper and zinc plus B Vitamins is beneficial for the hair. At least you can try but it is not guaranteed if genetics has played a role.

It can be hereditary. My mother greyed early and both my sisters were completely grey before they were 30.

You can also grey prematurely if you have been quite ill and nerves can play a big part in it also.
