Hello,
Nutritional deficiencies like vitamin B12 deficiency, severe iron deficiency, chronic protein loss, copper deficiency are often found associated with premature greying of hairs. Other factors that have been incriminated are low serum ferritin, and low serum calcium and vitamin D3 levels. Take a supplement with minerals and vitamins. Also, do a blood count.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
