That’s very sad to hear. Does anyone else in the family have premature greying? A few recent studies have shown that premature greying may be related to deficiencies in blood like vitamin b12, vitamin D, ferritin etc. or altered cholesterol levels.

See a dermatologist who can examine the scalp and get the relevant blood tests done. Keep me posted.
