?Grey hair is a crown of splendor? says the Bible. Similar proverbs exist, all reiterating the splendor and the ?wisdom? associated with greying locks. However, not everyone thinks that way. While others may be comfortable with a greying head, an equal number refuses to accept it. Greying of hair is a natural process. As one advances through the years, the body starts aging and a greying head is one of the ways in which aging manifests. But, sometimes, greying of the hair occurs prematurely ? even in teenagers. It can be a source of insecurity and despair which can negatively impact one?s life. The untimely greying of hair has been linked to a number of factors like genes, vitamin deficiency and even stress.
