Reasons for whitened: hair early.1.Genetics. 2. Age 3. Stressors. The age of initial graying/ whiteneing is largely due to genetics. Stressors like nutritional deficiencies, traumatic head injuries, low Vit. B levels, zinc deficiency, severe illness, surgery & marked emotional stress may cause earlier depigmentation in people who are predisposed to gray hair. In general– genetics plays the biggest role.
