Grey hair and only 17?

Honey, It's hereditary. I have had a silver streak in the front of my head since I was 14 years old. I'm a hairdresser and I don't color my hair. I celebrate it. It's different and everyone wants to know where I got it done.

You have two choices....work with it and incorporate it into a hairstyle that will show it off.....or color it to cover the grey.

You have short hair....and coloring can become very costly because you cut your hair so often the color will get cut out.

Life doesn't end when you get a grey hair....enjoy it...;)

BTW...I'm 47 now....and I have 60 % silver in my hair. It looks like a frost and I don't have to pay to get it...;)

Do you remember Taylor Hicks, the American Idol winner from a few years ago? He has a head full of completely grey hair, and he actually started getting gray hair when he was 14. It was just because of his genetics.

Your grey hair may be because of hereditary reasons too. If someone in your family has grey hair then maybe you have a high possibility to have grey hair.

Another reason maybe because of stress. If you are stressed out, then you can have grey hair. There is no scientific connection of your hair and stress. But scientifically, your hair becomes gray because of the melanin content in your hair.

What is melanin? It is a substance found in skin, hair, the pigmented tissue underlying the iris, the medulla and zona reticularis of the adrenal gland, the stria vascularis of the inner ear, and in pigment bearing neurons of certain deep brain nuclei such as the locus ceruleus and the substantia nigra. Melanin is the primary determinant of human skin color. THis also determines the color of your hair. Blondes have less melanin while blacks have a lot. Also, redheaded people have a higher concentration of iron oxide in their melanin, thus the term "rusty." Melanin has many polymers, like the example of redheads. Their melanin has a greater number of Pheomelanin polymers..

Grey hair may be caused by lesser presence of melanin as you grow old. But since your young, then maybe your hair has Eumelanin polymers. THat's just normal. Don't worry.

Gray hairs are genetic, but also can sprout up if you are under stress....

My grandfather was totally white haired by the time he was 21. I am in my 30's and have gray here and there. My mother did not go gray until her 50's.

It all depends on your genetics and your lifestyle (more stress, earlier gray hairs).
