gray hair at 22. wtf?

[btownbuck2012]

Is this normal or abnormal. I came into college with a thick head of black healthy hair.

I'm in my senior year and literally have 10-15 grey hairs in my head. I cut them out so they're not at all noticeable. Could this be due to stress?

I'll admit i've been highly stressed during certain points in college. Right now being one of them in regards to all the homework and studying i have to do this weekend.

It's just that I never thought i was SO stressed that my hair would start turning gray. It's kind of a bummer. Anybody else experiencing this or have experienced this?

I have a ****-ton of gray. Probably to do with stress as I have more then my father in his late 40's.

Doesn't really bother me though, looks kind of nice

Threads like this that makes me glad that my dad is in his mid-fifties and hair is as black as ever.

Just curious, you try plucking the 10-15 grey hairs you have? Is that better than just cutting it?

Could be ur **** GMO diet and fluoridated water.

I think stress can help trigger it but it's all in your genetics.

I bet whomever you get your hair from will of went bald / gray around the same time. I get my hair from my dad. He's 50, still not balding and started getting gray hairs at about 48, luckily for me.

i guess i don't see the point in plucking them. it seems like a new one pops up every day

yea i tend to agree. my mom is in her mid 50's and if she didn't dye her hair she'd have a full head of white hair. She told me she started graying late 20's early 30's.

It has to be stress. College gets overwhelming sometimes. fvck...

That's no guarantee. My mom and dad had their first grey hairs at 40+ y/o. My mom discovered my first grey hair when I was 17 y/o. I think it's due to my perfectionistic tendencies.

If you looked at my Dad's hair then at mine you would agree it was true with me at least, lol.
