My daughter got the same treatment until she was past 30 and she is 100% Euro-American background. She also never got taller than 4’10” and stayed slim. Ironically she was completely gray haired by age 24 (but dyed her hair from age 14 when she got her first noticeable gray).

same with me and ditto the gray hair. I started dying my hair when someone called me Q-Tip. Still skinny and don’t look my age - 57. Much younger people assume they are older than me and that causes PROBLEMS. The good thing is, I’m in better shape than my comtemporaries. The bad thing is, if I hadn’t started smoking at 16 - to assume the personae of someone older - I would probably look about 27.

Isn’t that interesting?

I was a VERY late bloomer, not reaching menarche until 19 due to extreme physical activity. (At my height, though, it wasn’t gymnastics — it was everything else.)

Here I was, 6 feet tall, thin as a rail and modeling in NYC, and what do I find? Grey hairs. So many that I had to start covering them up. By the time I was 30, I was completely white (underneath the dye job). Of course, my mother was also prematurely grey, but I thought that was because she had had a hysterectomy.

I wonder if one (late development) has anything to do with premature greying. Be interesting to find out, huh?

Regards,
