I've always been wondering this,
I have a lot of grey hairs at the side of my head, like actual big bits of hair.
Weird as im 13 right?! Anyone know why I have this? :confused:

Some people grey earlier bro. You can always dye it. I have a friend who's 16 and has some grey hair growing which is pretty early. 13 is really young though, you could ask your doctor about it I suppose. I'm not 100% if they will want to do anything.

People go grey at different times, and obviously, you've gone grey at an early age. But don't worry! A few people do. I looked up why people get grey hair and i got this result. Obviously, it may not be 100% accurate as it is only the net.
What causes grey hair? Why does hair turns grey?

Let's look at the causes of grey hair. As discussed in previous articles, what happens when you get grey hair is that your body produces less melanin than before. Ellen is the pigment that colors the hair follicles. And, what melanin starts to receive, that's when your hair starts or grey. At the point there is no melanin in any of your hair that's what your hair starts to turn white.
If you want to get rid of it you can dye your hair. First off, get temperary dyes till you find the perfect colour, and then once you've found it, go to the hairdressers or a pro. and get it dyed! You could also get shampoo for grey hair. Here are some natural ways:
Here are some natural remedies for grey hair.

Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add two tablespoons of fresh sage you can also add a little bit of rosemary to it. Let it steep and then let it cool. Apply the mixture to your hair and you will notice that the pigments from the herbs will help to start color your hair black begin.

Once that is done can make the same mixture but substitute chamomile flowers with the sage. By doing this, it will make your hair shiny.

Other enhancements to keep your hair from turning grey too fast deal with aching sure you give your hair enough nourishment. If he shampoo your hair a lot, you can be stripping out a lot of the nourishment from your hair. Try putting in a running in some natural coconut oil or aloe after every shampoo. These will help put the nutrients back in your hair that were stripped out from cleaning it.

Hope this helps!!:)

I've never heard of it as early as yours has come through but yes it is possible. I've started going gray at the sides of my head above my ears. But as someone above said, it could be stress. I've been quite sick lately so im putting it down to that. As you're bulimic its very likely its stress induced. Try asking your parents if premature grayness runs in the family?
