My eldest 2yo twin has about 10 greys. I can't believe it!!
I was checking his hair for nits today and I found over 10 grey hairs!! Why does he have grey hairs at 2yo?!?!?!
I rang a friend of mine and she said it could be caused by stress, but really what can a 2yo be stressed over?? Both him and his brother are very happy and much loved.
The only thing I can think of is he may be frustrated as he is 80% deaf. He doesn't hear well or speech much. Do you think that could be a factor??
His Dad started going grey at about 20, and I wouldn't know (I dye my hair every 8 weeks at least)
Why does my 2yo boy have Grey Hair???????? The hair has a tendency to lose its natural colour with advancing age and turn grey, but premature greying is a morbid condition and it makes even the young look older. The hair is an appendage of the skin. It is composed of the same kinds of cells as are found in the outer layer of the skin, which is known as the epidermis. Hair grows from hair follicles which are deep recesses in the epidermis. The sebaceous glands of the scalp secrete an oily substance called sebum, which is the source of nutrition, lustre, and blackness of the hair. The hair cannot be fed externally, for such nourishment, as the scalp requires, must come to it from the bloodstream. 1
Gray hair in childhood is known as 閳ユザremature graying閳?or canities.
Premature graying in children is usually genetically programmed -- If
the parents or grandparents had premature graying, the children may
follow suit. 2

Hope this helps but to ease your worries you should go to see a doctor they're trained in this field!!
Why does my 2yo boy have Grey Hair???????? Perhaps he has a small mole under the grey hair?
Why does my 2yo boy have Grey Hair???????? Sounds like me. I had them when I was 1, or so my mom tells me. Lol. He's probably not stressed though; my grey's really started to come back in 5th and 6th grades.
A lot was changing at once, pretty stressful. Lol.
But he'll be fine. There's always dye when he gets older =]
Why does my 2yo boy have Grey Hair???????? Maybe his dad had a few grey hairs as a baby and he may have given the early grey hair gene to the one twin and not the other.
So this twin will probably be like his dad and be grey by age 20.
The other twin may not have received the early grey hair gene that makes a persons hair turn grey at an early age.I doubt if it is caused by stress like your friend said because you mentioned
that they are happy and much loved.
Why does my 2yo boy have Grey Hair???????? My mother has always had a grey patch of hair at the side of her head (her whole life). It is from not having any colour pigment for those hairs. Perhaps he just has a few hairs with no colour pigment?
