premature graying
Youthful hair whitening
Premature graying is the loss of hair pigment earlier than typical, usually before age 30.
The phrase describes gray or white hair appearing at an age when most people retain their natural color: Stress didn't cause his premature graying—it runs in his family.
Sometimes used figuratively for anything that ages a person before their time: This job is giving me premature graying.
