early onset of gray hair due to reduced melanin production

Premature Graying, also known as Premature Hair Graying, refers to the early onset of gray or white hair, typically occurring before the age of 20 in Caucasians and before 30 in African Americans. This condition can be influenced by genetic factors, oxidative stress, and certain medical conditions, leading to a reduction in melanin production in hair follicles.
