General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi there,

Having grey hair is related to:
- heredity : if any of your relatives (mother, father, etc.) have had grey hair early in life
- vitamin deficiency

I advise to get checked by dermatologist to rule out any skin problem or vitamin deficiency. If everything is ok,then, it is genetic. Eating healthy and conducting a healthy life can slow down the greying process.
