Is Early Gray Hair Related to Premature Balding? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

I seem to have come down with gray hair at an alarmingly young age, but as per your website, this is apparently possible and common. However, I would like to know if such a thing is related to premature hair loss. Could you please answer, if you could spare the time?

  • Gray hair is not related to premature balding.
  • You can have premature balding withou gray hair.
  • You can have gray hair without premature balding.

In my experience I have not seen a good correlation. It is just a genetic puzzle that we are still trying to figure out. We are all different.

An interesting point to note about hair color though, I have read that being a red head is associated with high pain tolerance. See Melanocortin-1 Gene for Red Hair and Pain Tolerance for details.

  1. I read that you can delay gray hair in Earl Mindells vitamin bible. I also have gray hair and am worried about it, which is probably making it worse.
