i'm 27. when i got my first few silver hairs in the last year or two I was OK with it. my girlfriend always gives me $hit about looking young anyway. but things are getting out of control and it's on the verge of going from huh look at that to srsly wtf.

anything i can do to stop the advance? when I said I wanted to be the next Peter Lynch or Bill Ackman, this isn't what I meant.

There are certain herbs which based on anecdotal evidence can slow the progress. Google. 27-29 is around the age the first few begin to pop up - the beginning signs that the trip to Valhalla is certain. Vedic Astrology refers to it as the "Saturn Return" - https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikiped.../Saturn_return Convince yourself that you're actually seeing platinum blond strands show up. And remember, gray hair didn't prevent Steve Martin from success in career and with "the ladies".

I have read that cutting back on caffeine can help stem the tide.

I had a grey streak at the back of my head when I was 21, nothing I could do about it and its far too late for Grecian 2000 so I enjoy the mantle of Sliver Fox.

I started having a few strands since 15 years old. Still only see a few white strands.

It's not sign of bad health. I think it's just genes and stress.

Got my first grey hair at 15 and went mostly grey by 30. Rare male effect FTW ...

As forStyle posted earlier - genetics and stress (and mostly stress I believe)

Found my first silvers and greys when I was in middle school during final season
Recently came across a bunch again while trying to write two final papers at the same time

In case your hair happens to be black or a rather dark color apparently eating black sesame works?

27 is too early. I personally wouldn't mind going all grey by 50 though.

I'd rather be going grey at 27 than be balding...

damnit

(you probably just look refined)

what's worse is if you're greying and have a receding hairline... that's double fail at age 24.

I've had some noticeable gray hair for years, and now in my early 30s they seem to be spreading. A few people give me **** for it, but *******. I'm not dying my hair.
