Hey all, i had googled strands of grey hair and saw this is one of the forums that there are threads about it but not many..
I'm 30 year old male and i had noticed i got a few strands of grey hair. The thing though is I'm Asian and asians generally don't age that much until they are much older.
The thing is I work online on the computer and basically on the computer most of the day. The thing is i got very stressed/angry lately. I also have anxiety and it has been much worst lately. Back then it wasn't that bad but it has gotten worst. What i want to know is, is there a way to prevent any grey hair from reappearing? I had thought about just plucking those few strands of grey hair from my head but did not do this. I had a haircut as well due to this but then i noticed even after my haircut, i still see those few pieces of grey hair when looking into the mirror. I never had grey hair ever. The other thing is my hair grows very fast. I know lot of people go bald as they go older but i don't think i would has this problem until i'm much older etc.
What can i do about my few strands of grey hair? Do i take a scissor and cut each of those out so it doesn't grow out again? Also is plucking considered just pulling that piece of hair from your head? I cannot do that now as my hair is pretty short due to having a haircut. I'm pretty positive i developed these few grey hair recently due to be being very anxious/angry recently. I had noticed this sort of a bit after it and figured that is definitely the cause.
I heard of people who get grey hair even as young as 18 as well and someone mentioned they had that at 18 when they were very stressed with studying etc. I work online on the computer and have stress most of the time. But im positive what triggered this was me losing my cool and start even cursing when i got angry very recently. I think the age when you get grey hair that should worry you would be either late 20s or early 30s. The reason is because that is when you are getting older and not getting younger. Now if i was 21 and i got a few grey hair, it wouldn't bother me much because i know that has to be stress related and 21 is very young. I also read some people get grey hair because they dont have enough vitamin b12 etc. I'm pretty sure this isn't my case. I also read lot of people mention stress and anxiety will cause you to have grey hair and i strongly believe this. It has to be the combination of these and all three of these got very extremely for me recently.
Does anyone know what i can do now to prevent any grey hair from reappearing? Because when i seen this few grey hair... i seen 2 of them... however im not sure if i have any on the back of my head etc. Basically those 2 grey hairs are on the right side of my head. So obviously the most important thing now is do my best to lessen stress. I also have a good bit of acne at my age and this is mainly triggered by stress/anger. I know this is 100 percent. So when i go through a short time when i have very little anger/stress, then my face clears up a lot. Its like when people ask does stress/anger/anxiety cause acne and many people on the forums agree. But the fact that i got these few pieces of grey hair, i notice 2 that is for sure and another one that im not sure exactly if it is or not, then this has gotten me worried. I know there are men/women that get a hair full of grey hair when they have a kid but i I don't have that issue now.
My anxiety is also bad and its hard to control it. However, anger can be controlled for me. Stress can as well.
What is my best solution for this? I mean, could i pluck/cut these few grey hairs from the root of my hair... then just my best do avoid any stress and anger and lessen anxiety, then the grey hair won't grow out? I had wanted to ask the barber last time if he could cut those few grey hair off of me first but did not. My thoughts were if i did that, then those grey hair from those exact spot in my head might not grow back. Then he cut the rest of my hair like normal. But he just cut my hair normally etc. Then i looked in mirror at my short hair and noticed 2 spots where i have that same white hair growing etc.
Would appreciate advice on this. Because if i don't have any grey hair reappearing again, then i will make sure i do my best to not get stressed/angry and make sure i do my best to lessen anxiety.
Are there people here who gotten some grey hair due to stress... then eventually lessened their stress a lot, then the grey hair did not grow out anymore? And if so, did this require you to cut those pieces of gray hair first? And if so, did you have to do this at the root of it so there wasn't even a centimeter of grey hair on that spot? To me, that would be the most important thing though. Because if that is the case, i make sure i do everything i can to avoid stress etc.
I like to also add that i read an article on huntington post that mentions how people notice they get grey hair after a stressful time or event. So if thats the case, then does that mean that event basically made those few strands of grey forever?
Or could that grey hair become black hair once again?

I really don't think you have much to worry about if you only have 2 grey hairs. Most likely, only you are aware of it. It takes about 15-20% grey hair (of the total strands) to get obvious.
I am older from Generation X but still have dark hair. I am Native American with jet-black hair. I think I have at least one grey hair in the back. I do have a few in the mustache but it's not very noticeable either.
For the most part, in my late 40s I don't get paranoid about it.
Back in the fall I was trying to do a PhD in Florida. The post-doc was about 28 and Chinese. He made it clear that he thought I was too old to be doing a PhD and joked about it. But as we were talking my eyes adjusted to the light of the lab. The irony was that he had very noticeable strands of grey hair popping out all over his head. It was evenly distributed and obvious. So the guy was about 28 and already going grey with much more grey strands than me. And he was complaining about me being too old for a PhD. Go figure. At his rate, it must be getting bright white by 35.
Most people start going grey by their early 30s. Your rate is normal and kind of slow compared to that post-doc.
For what it's worth, I just googled "how to increase melanin in hair" and thought this might help: How to Increase Melanin to Restore Hair Color | LIVESTRONG.COM personally I am very happy with my white/grey hair but I look after it been using Pro-naturals Hair Repair System since 2014. I think if you make sure your hair is clean, shiny, no dandruff and looking neat whether your hair is black or white makes not a jot of difference, stop stressing a few grey hairs make you look distinguished!
Getting angry and swearing did not give you grey hair. Follicles no longer producing melanin did, and that also wasn't caused by losing your cool and cussing.

This. You gray at a certain rate according to genetics, and possibly other environmental factors.
