Is White Hair Normal?

• Its not uncommon for your hair to change as you
  get older. As a younger person, maybe you had a
  full head of brown, black, red, or blonde hair.
  Now that youre older, you may notice thinning in
  certain areas of your head, or your hair may
  change from its original color to gray or white.
• Your body has hair follicles, which are small
  sacs that line skin cells. Hair follicles have
  pigment cells known as melanin. These cells give
  your hair its color. But over time, hair
  follicles can lose pigment, resulting in white
  hair.

Causes White Hair at a Young Age

• White hair is more noticeable in people with a
  darker hair color. Although white hair is
  characteristic of aging, colorless hair strands
  can appear at any age even while youre still
  in high school or college. If youre a teenager
  or in your 20s, you might find one or more
  strands of white hair.
• There could be ways to restore pigmentation, but
  it depends on the cause. Here are common causes
  of premature white hair.
• Genetics
• Your makeup plays a big role in when (or if) you
  develop white hair. If you notice white hair at
  an early age, its likely that your parents or
  grandparents also had graying or white hair at an
  early age.
• You cant change genetics. But if you dont like
  the way your gray hair looks, you can always
  color your hair.

Causes white hair at a young age

• Stress
• Everyone deals with stress from time to time. The
  consequences of chronic stress can include
• sleep problems
• anxiety
• change in appetite
• high blood pressure
• Stress can also affect your hair. A 2013
  study found a connection between stress and a
  depletion of stem cells in the hair follicles of
  mice. So if youve noticed a rise in your number
  of white strands, stress might be the culprit.
  This theory might also explain why some world
  leaders appear to age or gray faster while in
  office.

• Autoimmune Disease
• An autoimmune disease can also cause premature
  white hair. This is when the bodys immune system
  attacks its own cells. In the case
  of alopecia and vitiligo, the immune system can
  attack hair and cause loss of pigment.
• Thyroid Disorder
• Hormonal changes caused by a thyroid problem
  such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may
  also be responsible for premature white hair. The
  thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at
  the base of your neck. It helps control many
  bodily functions such as metabolism. The health
  of your thyroid can also influence the color of
  your hair. An overactive or underactive thyroid
  can cause your body to produce less melanin.

Causes White Hair at a Young Age

• Vitamin B-12 Deficiency
• White hair at an early age can also indicate
  a vitamin B-12 deficiency. This vitamin plays an
  important role in your body. It gives you energy,
  plus it contributes to healthy hair growth and
  hair color.
• Smoking
• Theres also a link between premature white hair
  and smoking. One study of 107 subjects found a
  connection between the onset of gray hair before
  the age of 30 and cigarette smoking.

White Hair Can be Prevented?

• The ability to reverse or prevent white hair
  depends on the cause. If the cause is genetics,
  there isnt anything you can do to prevent or
  permanently reverse the color change.
• If you suspect a health problem, consult a doctor
  to see if an underlying condition is responsible
  for white hair. If you treat the underlying
  health problem, pigmentation may return, but
  there are no guarantees.
• According to one study, if a thyroid problem
  causes white hair, re-pigmentation may occur
  after hormone therapy treatment. Taking vitamin
  B-12 shots or pills to correct a deficiency may
  also improve the health of hair follicles and
  return your natural color. If white hair occurs
  as a result of stress or smoking, there isnt
  evidence to support the return of pigmentation
  after quitting smoking or reducing stress.
