White hair in young age - it is a hereditary or genes problem. there is no solution for this. Only option is to use a good hair dye. I have come across many youngsters affected by this problem. ask her not to worry about it but concentrate on improving her studies or job. wish her good luck.

Yes,I think heredity is the cause.My younger sister has streaks of white hair and I don't have,praise be to God.She probably got it from my father's side.If you have falling hair from commercial dyes,you can use natural ones like Henna.It's not as harsh as the commercial dyes and can actually make your hair thicker and shinier.I believe you have lots of it in India.

Hello Surekha, no one look good in white hair in young age. I think it is not possible with any herbal treatment to change colour of hair in black. Use Heena it is available in different colour. My daughters are using it, although they have not white hair problem, they have not hair falling problems.

Hi Surekha! I used to have white hair but just one or two. Your sister need to take several treatment form the hair treatment salon which provide treatments for white hair. There are many causes for premature grey/white hair. Lack of certain vitamins and minerals result this so she should take more vitamin B which is incorporate lots of wheat, oats, green leafy vegetables, nuts and fruits. Plus food rich with iodine like fish, carrots, and bananas to maintain the health of the hair. They are other reason and ways to overcome it. She should search more for it. When I faced the same problem a year ago what I did is I use coconut extract, massaging the scalp and the hair with it and it works.(^^)

And don't forget your sister can try to use that coconut extract method too to get back her black hair back! Just try it out. It won't cause any harm plus coconut is good for our hair right??(^^)

I have the same problem. :( I think stress is one of the causes. So minimizing stress would help. I don't know any cure. I also don't want to dye my hair since I'm afraid of the side effects. So I also wish to know some solutions.

Yes friend stress and depression is the reason for white hair but now due to improper eating not very well sleeping also the reason for white hair. Yes some time dye cause the side effects. Like on eyes or on falling hair. But here nobody saying any natural medicine for white hair. Everyone saying for hair dye. thanks for response

The only thing you really can do is dye it. Temporary dyes are not harsh like permanent ones, so they will not cause hair loss. However, these might not be as effective and will fade easily. My mom uses semi-permanant dyes, and she has some gray and white hair, and she uses dark colors.

Friend due to dye hair may be fall and rough. You say permanent dye but how is it possible permanent dye. Tell me which liquid or dye is used for permanent dye. thanks for response.

I would think the problem you describe is caused by missing some nutrition in the diet. Especially if her hair is also falling out. I did just color my hair with henna, which is not supposed to damage hair. Your sister needs to eat enough protein and get enough healthy vitamins and minerals.

Thanks friend for suggestion yes heena is good way to remove the white hair at least somewhat I will tell her. You are right enough protein is necessary for body.

Getting White hair in very young age is the present growing common problem...in the youth. I am an engineering student, in my class 40%of the students are effected by this. Depress, timeless eating are the main reasons for this...

Yes friend you are right this is common problem so I want to know any solution other than dye. Depression is main reason for white hair and less vitamin. Thanks to share your view.

Hi surekha There could be several reasons. It can be hereditary, where due to genetics they get the family traits. Also, it could be for some malnutrition of the hair where the hair follicles loose it's nutrients. I remember being in 8th grade and about 12 years old and a student had a full head of white hair. Because we were so young and not understanding, many thought he was old. Sadly, now as an adult, I realize that is not the case as many can inherit this from family heredity. There are some who have patches and considered as birth marks where they have clumps of white patched hair.

Though one can eat properly and add some additional supplements, there really is nothing to change the gray if hereditary. The only thing is to use hair dye, henna. It is not a permanent solution but will cover the grays for 1 month or more. It should be used cautiously as it can damage the hair too.

really, genes play a big role in this. there is nothing we can do about it but do some temporary remedy.

At present,there are more and more young people with greying hair .I think It has to do with faster pace of life than ever , the mind of encumbrances,as well as family genetic ,apart from they fail to take a balanced diet thereby they lack some vitamins.

Yes friend the main reason is lack of vitamin and lot of tension. You are right every young person facing this problem. Thanks for response.

White hair is due to genes. There are so many young people with white hair strands already. The best solution would be to color the hair fully with the natural color to hide the white hair strands.

surekharahti WE are not doctors here so I would really suggest you go to a dermatologist and tell him or her your problems about falling hair and premature gray or white hair. Some cosmetologists also could help you with premature graying of hair. I just do not trust most old wives theories on premature graying., Someone who has had medical training will be much more apt to give you information to help solve the problems.

Friend thanks for suggestion but I want to know any household remedy or solution. My sister already used medical treatment but now effects of it.

Did a doctor ever tell her why her hair is white??? She should just leave it. Dyes are no good. She needs to just accept her hairs natural color.

I guess that's hereditary and in one's genes. I also seen few people who has white hair in very young age. maybe the best remedy for the meantime is dye it with black or dark brown. I don't think there is cure for this since it's already white soon as it grows.

Friend no one is telling here to cure the hair problem everyone suggesting only dye but due to dye hair will be rough. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know what is causing people's hair to gray at younger ages than it used to traditionally change, but my guess is that it has something to do with some of the things that people are eating these days. I am 31 years old and I will admit that I will find a gray hair in my head from time to time, but they are few and far between so it isn't something that is really noticeable. However, I've got a cousin that is just a few months older than me and he has been going gray since we were both in our early twenties.

I've had a big white streak of hair (like Rogue from X Men) since I was about sixteen. I'm not sure if it's due to stress or a thyroid problem. Most of the things I've read have said that it can be due to thyroid, but I've also heard that it could be nothing. There are ways to test your thyroid by taking your temperature in your armpit every morning right when you wake up. I've heard this test can be better than a regular blood test for TSH.

White or gray hair is actually clear hair, it lacks pigmentation which gives hair it's color. The reason hair looks gray or white is because of the way light reflects from it. The compound that colors hair is called melanin, which consists of two types, eumelanin and pheomelanin. These determine the hair color and the darkness or lightness of that color. Genetics control hair color and the amounts of melanin one has, genetics also control the production and length of this production of this substance. It seems two genes are responsible for hair coloration of lack there of, Bcl2 and Bcl-w. There are some things which can affect hair color or lack there of, malnutrition being one of them, Werner syndrome and pernicious anemia being two others. Lacking a medical reason for hair color loss, genetics is the answer. As for a solution, consider this, white or clear hair on a younger person is unusual and therefore attention getting, it leaves one with no concern for color when choosing clothing as nothing could look 'bad'. White or clear hair could be considered elegant rather than aging. Attitude may be the answer here rather than artificial coloring. Wish my red hair would turn clear...I still wouldn't tan but at least it might look like I did.
