If you want to know when you will turn gray, one thing you can do is look at your parents. How early in your life youll gray will depend quite a bit on genetic factors. Graying is a natural part of aging and happens when the cells in the hair shaft stop making pigment. That lack of pigment will make the hair lose most of its color and turn gray. But the good news is that while you may not be able to stop from getting gray you can slow down the process and learn how to avoid gray hair for a while.

Here are some tips you can take that can slow down the advance of your gray hair:

1. I dont want to sound like a nag, but if you dont want gray hair early in life, give up the cigarettes. It has been scientifically proven that smoking will age your whole body, inside and out, and that aging includes making your hair go gray. If you are serious about preventing gray hair for as long as humanly possible, the first thing you have to do is stop smoking, youll look younger everywhere not just your hair.
