If your hair turns white before the age of 25, then it can be termed as premature greying of hair. Signs of premature ageing can be due to Vitamin B12 deficiency or severe iron deficiency (Deficiency of Vitamin B12). A poor diet that lacks enough protein, copper and other essential vitamins and minerals can lead to premature greying of hair.
