Question 1

single white hair that grows on my eyebrow occasionally. does that mean good luck?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: Any minor change on your body that you would like to interpret as good luck  -  well  -  i would support that.  A prominent white eyebrow hair if in your experience indicates good luck - hang on to that thought.

Question 2

if we pluck the white hair in our head.....it will go more white hair or it's good ? then what we can do to readuce the white hair ?

Accepted Answer

Dye: Plucking grey/white will neither increase nor decrease those. The only practical solution is to dye your hair, if you are bothered by the white hair. I would recommend leaving things alone. Dying your hair for the rest of your life may not be what you wish to get into at your age.

Question 3

hi i discovered about 5 grey hairs in my head, i'm 19. my parents did not grey early. does this mean i have white hair by 20s. does stress cause this?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Severe illness and stress can indeed induce some hair changes, both in color and density.  This is relatively uncommon, however.

Just don't pull them out because 5 new will grow for every one you pull ;-)

Question 4

long white hair just above eyebrow? i am 19 what on earth is this?

Accepted Answer

Hair: This is hair that has no pigment. Please see your dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options. This way you can find out what is causing this.

Question 5

can you suggest of a safe product/ brand, if one needs to colour some of the white hair in eyebrows while the rest of hair are dark brown/black
thanku?

Accepted Answer

Hair dye: Any hair dye may be used to tint brow hair.  Do not get it into your eyes.

Question 6

why do children grow white hair on their eyebrows ?

Accepted Answer

Not common: As far as I have known and seen this is not as common as you are mentioning. But wait till other doctors respond too.  Discuss it with your pediatrician.

Question 7

hello. my 6 year old son has one couple of white hairs in head and one single white hair in one of his eyebrow. do we need to worry for this ?

Accepted Answer

: It is not uncommon for children to have a few white hairs, and in most cases, it is not a cause for concern. However, if there are sudden or numerous white hairs, it may be worth consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying health issues.

Question 8

: Premature graying of hair, termed canities, most commonly occurs in children with vitiligo or alopecia areata.  Less commonly, canities is associated with various conditions, e.g., pernicious anemia, thyroid disorders.  Consultation with dermatologist would be appropriate.
