Hair going grey/ white in early 20s is that common?

Question

I am 21 and my hair is turning grey/ white. I am unsure if this is common or if I need to see a doctor (as I could be deficient in something/ it's stress related)

Answer

I started getting grey hair in my early 20’s. My dad went grey in his 20s and my younger brother also.
It’s mostly genetic, but can be diet related and rarely something more serious.

Answer

My friend started going grey by the time she was 20. A lot of my cousins and Polynesian friends started going grey early. Some of my Samoan and Maori friends were already going grey while we were in intermediate school (aged 11-13). 
It’s mostly genetics that make you go grey young.

Answer

Do your family members have a history of gray hair at a young age? My dad and brothers all went gray young (20s-30s) but they haven’t lost their hair. Same with my husband. He’s had salt in his pepper before I met him, and we met when he was 26. Now at 32, he’s even more gray! It’s less noticeable when he has his hair shorter though.

Answer

Some people get it early. My husband is 28 and he already has a lot of white hair. My cousin by the time he turned 30 his whole head was almost white 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I had a friend in high school whose hair was salt and pepper. For his family they just started to go grey early. Not sure what a doctor could tell you but you can always call the nurse and ask their opinion.

Answer

I’m 17 and already have some grays
