Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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 2

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

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.

Question 3

New white hair on my head?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might have premature gray hair.  This is not uncommon, especially in people whose family members were gray at an early age. If you are concerned, discuss this with your doctor at your next physical.

Question 4

I am 18 years old and i have recently found about 5 strands of white hair on my head. what is the cause if this?

genetics, check with family about how young  people were when they turned grey. not many medical issues cause "white hair" in an adult

Question 6

Hi sir/ madam , my age now 29 not married . but last 5 month my head too much of white hair coming . how i stopped this white hair . any tips?

Accepted Answer

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 7

Why do we get white hair on head?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

If i remove a white hair from my head does it bring two more white hairs in that same place? i m just 24 year old

Accepted Answer

Just kidding!!! That's just an old folk tale. Pulling out white hairs does nothing to increase (replacement) number of white hairs. All it does is temporarily decrease white hair count by one. White hair is genetically determined. Aging plays a role, not teenagers or stress. Check out http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/grayhair.html.
