Better living through chemistry. And why not? Grey hair or receding hair doesn't really say anything about how vigorous or healthy you are; it's just the luck of the draw. If it bothers you, and you can change that luck, do it.

You're thinking of spironolactone, which works in the same way as Propecia but isn't the same. It has a raft of other anti-androgenic effects, is a diuretic, and can cause impotence and reduction of body hair, which result in its being used as the primary anti-androgen in male-to-female transsexuals in the US. Not a good choice if your goal is not to go bald.

I have no white hair that I know of at 29. My sister is already salt and pepper and is not even 20 yet. She doesn't hesitate to dye, and with nearly black hair already, it isn't difficult to dye it in a way that looks natural.
