White/grey hair explosion!

Alright, dunno which forum would be best, but I'll go with this one for now...

So I'm curious about when TFP'ers started getting white/grey hairs. I noticed mine when I was about 20, in my senior year of college... had about 10-20 of them, mostly in one area of my scalp. I also have very dark brown hair, so they stood out pretty clearly. Mind you, I didn't sleep much in college at all, and was fairly stressed most of the time... so I always wondered whether my health/stress had anything to do with it, or if it was just a natural occurance.

Now I'm 26 and have TONS of white hairs... easily in the hundreds. In the last 6 years they have just gone crazy. Of course, my stress levels haven't decreased much, so that could still be a factor, but I'm wondering how long it will be before I go completely grey and if there's any way of preventing this from happening? (Or at least slowing it down.) I'm not a fan of dying my hair, at least not until I get really desperate. Any tips on diet, hair treatment, etc? Or is this just inevitable...
