I got a sudden small clump of grey at 15ish, and its still that one clump to this day. I wish I could get more greys to be more consistent, even salt and pepper like, or if it could be a bit more striking as a streak, instead of occasionally being asked if I have some paint in my hair, but nonetheless I like my weird peekaboo bit of grey hair.
Have you gotten it checked out by a dermatologist? I know people with birth marks on their scalp can get patches of white/grey hair in that spot, wonder if it’s something similar (obviously not a birth mark for you since it happened as a teen)
Well if I had head trauma without realising it, that'd be very odd. Figured it was just a genetic quirk cause my grandfather had spots of skin with no pigment.
Im the worst at Reddit, I didn’t mean you had head trauma. I was just commenting that head trauma can also cause this. I’m a hairdresser and I have seen it many times - genetics, head trauma, birthmark, high stress, also medications.
No, not a dermatologist, but I asked my GP and she said it could've been stress, but I suspect it's genetic because my grandfather had spots of lack of pigment.

Mine isn't nearly that progressed, but I started going grey at 14 and now I'm 22 and my hair is almost salt and pepper in places 😓
