Question 1

i have white hair growth all over my  head about 20% and im 21 years old?

Accepted Answer

What's your question: We don't control hair color, texture, distribution etc. Some lose Not everyone goes bald but some do much earlier than others. Not everyone develops white hair but some do earlier than others. Same goes for distribution, etc. While stress might temporarily lead to hair loss, it won't be a permanent issue. Change in hair color tends to be permanent. Very few metabolic issues affect hair like diabet

Question 2

i found some white hair in my black hair of head . although that my age is 18 years old .

Accepted Answer

May be other causes: Premature graying can occur, though it is usually genetic so you may be able to look at your family and see that you inherited it from a family member.  There are other causes of hypopigmentation (decreased color) of a hair.  Trauma, bacterial or fungal infection, chemical or sun bleaching, or other dermatology conditions can cause this also.  Check in with your doctor if you have related symptoms.

Question 3

how do i get rid of white hairs that are growing on head rapidly. i'm 25 years old male. why i am getting white hair in this early age? pls. help.

Accepted Answer

Some things: There are a few reported readily reversible causes like B12 deficiency and thyroid disease that can be readily tested for.  There are some other less common causes like pigment diseases(think vitiligo), but again, these are rare. It's more likely that this is genetic.  But you can do some things to help avoid worsening things, like avoid smoking and harsh chemical hair products.

White hairs: The tendency to timing and distribution of white hairs is  inherited.  As part of your unique self, I would try to be comfortable with your hair color.  Alternatively some men and women color or henna their hair to try to disguise the white hairs.  Best wishes

Question 8

: 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 9

my 6 year old son has got one white hair on his eyebrow and couple of white hairs on his head. i am worried about this. could you please help me with this ? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: 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.

Question 10

why do we get white hair on head?

Accepted Answer

Aging: As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color, like gray, silver, or white, as it grows. As people continue to age, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, hair will look completely gray.
