Luv, hair is basically dead, except for the follicle. It doesn't just change, because it's dead, and the only change can happen at the follicle. You just never noticed it before, but it was actually there the whole time. This thing with your dad and your gray hair? the timing of when you noticed is purely coincidental, that's all.

by the way, I love the song on your profile... one of my favorites!

My mom said that is a sign of osteoperosis, just color you hair and take calcium vitamins. You could ask your doctor if there is anything serious.

Yes it is possible to have white hair "just like that". I have had many instances where one day nothing, then the next a 2 or 3 inch white hair. I don't know about the stress being linked to it.

that's how it happens. one at a time. you probably won't go grey for years and years and years. just a random thing. **** happens. who knows why. but it does.

I'm not sure if it's possible or not but why worry about it. Just pluck it and forget it. Your too young to worry about things like this and very pretty as well I might add.

No problem. Just relax and take it easy, Feel free to IM or email if you need a friend.

Maybe it's there already, you only noticed it lately. Having white hair is also hereditary, if your mom or dad got white hair chances are you're going to live with it too. Being upset does'nt produce white hair in a couple of hours. Don't worry, having it is also a sign of wisdom. Look at the bright side. Most young people today are going to parlors to have their hair highlighted white or silver..

Gray hair and age

The first onset of gray hair and the speed at which people go gray varies considerably from person to person. Most people actually start going gray in their late 20s but they don't notice it immediately. Premature graying is defined as gray hair onset before late teens for Caucasians and before age 30 in Africans and Asians, or alternatively 50% or more gray scalp hair before age 50. Very occasionally, a few gray hairs can develop in children as young as 8 years and yet it indicates nothing other than an early onset of the gray hair that we all develop with increasing age. Typical gray hair first develops at age 34.2 +/- 9.6 years in Caucasians while for Black people the average age of onset is 43.9 +/-10.3 years (Keogh 1965). As a rough guide, 50% of the population in the US and Europe have 50% gray hair by age 50.

The most common areas on the scalp in which to first see gray hair development are above the ears and/or at the temples. This first gray hair may spread around the sides and to the crown with time. Gray hair development in the beard and mustache may also start quite early, while gray hair on the chest and pubic region generally only occurs some years after onset of gray hair on the scalp.

Gray hair is caused by the gradual reduction of melanin production over time within the affected hair follicle. The melanocytes in the hair follicles produce less and less melanin, and the result is a loss of hair fiber color strength. What we call gray hair is not gray at all if you look at the individual hair fibers. Some hair fibers will contain some color while others are virtually white. What we describe as gray comes about from our perception of the overall scalp hair color. The contrast between the hair with more color and the white hair causes the appearance we call gray hair. Thus two people with gray hair, standing side by side, may have different shades of gray. Blondes are most likely to develop a completely white head of hair in old age because their hair fiber has a very low density of pigment in it to start with.

The time and speed of gray hair onset is due in part to genetics. Certainly early onset gray hair development can run in families. In my own family women are invariably affected by early and rapid onset gray hair while men have a more typical gray hair development. This difference in gray hair development in my family might suggest that at least some of the genes that promote early gray hair onset are located on the X chromosome. However, there are most likely many genes that determine the time and speed of gray hair development located on several human chromosomes. What genes determine gray hair is not known and much research needs to be done in this area. The environment may also potentially modify gray hair development but there is effectively no research on this subject.

It is a well known fact that Adnan 艦enses got all of his hair white in just one night :P

Well, I got couple of them, my GF had one, it is normal at 20+ ages.

The same thing happened to me. I plucked it out and 3 or 4 more came back in its place, so I plucked out them and they never came back. Strange huh?

Sorry to hear about your father. I hope everything goes well. It is quite normal to have one grey hair at your age my dear. Don't let it worry you. I started having grey hair in my 40s and disguised it with hair color :)))))) Now I am 90% grey. Well, I am 57 years old. Some ladies start having greys at an early age. Don't worry, you are still young and pretty.

There is a conspiracy theory that those companies who sell hair color creams, are doing something to make people's hair go white, so they can sell more :))))))))))

just joking.
