ť ť Hi Gina, I just keep thinking if the only way for me to have more hair
ť ť would be for it to be grey, I would gladly take it. Bring on the grey!
ť
ť ť Anything!

ť
ť I'll be 38 in a little over 1 week. I have a mother who is 66 and has
ť less grey hair and more hair in general than me. I have a double whammy
ť in that I'm losing loads of hair AND the only hair I seem to keep/grow is
ť grey. I lose all my pigmented hairs. I just don't know why I'd have to
ť be cursed with the grey AND the thinning. This makes me think of a
ť deficiency....but which one?
ť
ť I'm at a total loss these days. Totally depressed over this.
ť
ť I go back to work in a couple weeks and I am so anxious to see people who
ť haven't seen me in 3 months. They will be shocked. I look like I have
ť aged 20 years.

Found this applicable to children....don't know about adults!

The most common is vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, is present widely in foods from animal sources. Dietary deficiency is difficult to achieve, unless a person is eating a strict vegan diet. A lack of vitamin B12 can occur even in the face of adequate B12 intake. The body's ability to absorb and use B12 can be hampered by surgery involving the stomach or small bowel, diseases affecting the small bowel (e.g. regional enteritis, necrotizing enterocolitis, tuberculosis, diverticulosis, or fish tapeworms), or a congenital lack of the molecules needed to absorb B12 (intrinsic factor or Transcobalamin I, II, or III). A simple blood test can diagnose current vitamin B12 deficiency. Some anemias -- the megaloblastic ones (including the anemia caused by B12 deficiency) -- can produce gray hairs as an early sign. A simple blood test detects current anemia. Several thyroid disorders, particularly hyperthyroidism, reduce melanocyte activity while they are present. Disorders of skin pigmentation, such as vitiligo (which follows the destruction of melanocytes in the skin), can also result in a loss of hair pigmentation.
