According to Wikipedia, copper depletion leads to poor melanin synthesis. Since melanin is what gives someone their hair color, it is believed that copper may play a role in the onset of gray hair. On the other hand, some people have reported a noticeable improvement in the reversal or slowing of gray hair by taking chelated copper supplements. I am one such individual whom has experienced this first hand.

Yesterday your mom was playing with your hair and she found some gray hair you are just 13 why was this?

Premature gray hair may be due to the poor diet, stress, heredity, unhealthy scalp, washing hair with hot water, lac of vitamin B, iron, and copper. If your gray hair is heredity, then you can't do nothing to change the color of hair. But you can prevent further premature gray hair. For this, increase vitamin A in your diet. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Moreover, try to stay away from the stress as much as possible. Eat plenty of whole grains and dried fruits. Take protein regularly but in the moderation.
