No. Most of it is to do with the genes. Look at your mother and father. If they have gray hair then you'll get it too. Sometimes head injuries will damage the pigment of the scalp and gray hair can occur in that spot. Straightening your hair yourself without a professionals advice is very hard on the hair and if you can stop! Even blow-drying your hair is hard on it as is hot weather. Just like your face have a day or two where you wear no make-up and let your skin breath. Hair should get a rest too. Some people don't know that they should have 3 different types of shampoos on the go. The hair can get too use to one shampoo and you may find the frizzies happening. If you are of black origin then it's quite popular to straighten hair. To give your hair a rest buy a wig! Wigs are really in fashion and if you go to a good wig shop no one would know the difference if you wore one. A good case is Oprah. She always looks good, but does wear wigs at times.

Damaging your hair a lot will cause it to not only age faster, but deteriorate easily.

Straightening occasionally with a flat iron is your best option, but do keep in mind that it's also damaging to your hair.

Try using repairing shampoos like Sunsilk Hyrdra TLC which repairs damaged hair. Just remember to keep your scalp healthy because all that heat is not good for your hair.

If you condition well, and take care of your hair it won't get gray.

Im not sure about the grey hair with straighteners but they do burn out natural oils in your hair quicker so this means that your hair will get split ends quicker and will be dry.

Washing your hair in hot water does not damage your hair at all.

i reccommend to everyone to keep using heat spray and not to straighten their hair too much because it will dry your hair out when you get older.

I dont think you have anything to worry about.

Grey hair comes naturally

Hope you find everything that you are looking for and that you have a good 2008 =]
