Gray hair?

I hope someone has some answers or at least a similar experience. I am 25 and have found the occasional white/gray strand of hair since my late teens. Lately I have noticed a small cluster of hair turning white on the top of my head towards the back. While I am not happy about it, I can accept the fact that I'm going gray "early".

What I am concerned about is that for the past year or so I have been finding these weird hairs randomly spread out on my head. They are black (my hair is a light reddish brown) and they are EXTREMELY thick and wiry. Is this just another form of going gray or is it something else? I have asked co-workers/family/friends and I have googled and I can't seem to find anything that matches what I am experiencing. I'm afraid that one day I will have a head full of hair like this. It's nothing like the white/gray I have or have seen on my mother.

I started finding gray hair as a teen also, it only started me on hair color sooner than most women lol. Seems odd to find hair of a completely different color than your natural color that isn't gray/white though.

You might need to find out who the real dad is.

I think so too. I'm hoping to find a reason for it. Thankfully it's not noticable...yet.

Hormones can do crazy things to your hair, among other things. Check with your doctor next time you go.

I have mousy brown, fine hair, but have occasionally found one of the hairs like you mentioned...very dark and wiry. I don't know what they are or why they are there, but since I have only found 4-5 of them, I haven't worried.
