Why do i have white hair at a young age?

If all your hair is white, then it is almost certainly genetic. If there is only a white patch, it is also possibly related to a birth mark or something similar on your scalp. There is nothing you can do to stop the hair color change, besides dyeing it, of course.

Why do i have white hair at a young age?

There is not much you can do to stop premature greying. This is caused by a decrease in melanin in the hair.

Why do i have white hair at a young age?

It's genetic.

Thanks to my mom I've already got white streaks in my hair at 20 and she says I'll probably be all gray by 25 ::hugs her hair dye::

Why do i have white hair at a young age?

its genetic and u cant help it.maybe u should go to a hair care specialist.they might help.

Why do i have white hair at a young age?

The determination of when someone begins graying, whether it comes with aging or prematurely, seems to be almost entirely based on genetics. Sometimes people are born with gray hair because it is passed down genetically.

The change in hair color is caused by the gradual decrease of pigmentation that occurs when melanin ceases to be produced in the hair root, and new hairs grow in without pigment. Two genes appear to be responsible for the process of greying, Bcl2 and Mitf. The stem cells at the base of hair follicles are responsible for producing melanocytes, the cells that produce and store pigment in hair and skin. The death of the melanocyte stem cells causes hair to begin going grey.[2]

There are no special diets, nutritional supplements, vitamins, nor proteins that have been proven to slow, stop, or in any way affect the graying process, although many have been marketed over the years.

I've had gray hairs since I was 23...my mother started getting them at 26 so I wasn't surprised that I got them early too. You can't stop them from changing...its part of life

The reason why your hair is going gray could be any amount of reasons. The hair fibers appear gray because they are lacking in pigment. Basically what has happened is that the hair follicle responsible for that hair fiber is no longer capable of coloring the hair that it secretes.

Hair is pigmented by the same mechanism that your skin is pigmented 鈥?through action of cells called melanocytes. Essentially hair is pigmented because these melanocytes travel to the follicle, and through various complex mechanisms that aren鈥檛 well understood, the hair (which is a protein) comes out with some color 鈥?in my case black (with a few of those grew hairs, too).

Why is your hair going gray? Well, the easy answer is that the melanocytes are either migrating away from the follicle, or they are inactive for some reason. Why would they inactivate? Any guess is a good guess here 鈥?this is still a bit controversial. But, I think that most scientists would agree that it has something to do with the DNA. People who go gray early (experiencing premature leukotrichia 鈥?leukotrichia means loss of pigment of the hair, or in other words, a condition where the hair is gray. 鈥淟euko鈥?means white; 鈥渢richia鈥?is from the Greek meaning hair or tail) are most likely genetically predisposed.

Maybe I should explain that a little further, eh? Genetically predisposed means that you have the genetic make-up such that under the 鈥渞ight鈥?set of circumstances, those genes will be activated. An example of a genetic predisposition would be certain kinds of cancers. In this example some people have certain genes that make it much more likely that they will develop a certain kind of cancer when they are placed in a certain situation. This means, a malnutrition state might trigger a certain kind of cancer. Or maybe a great deal of stress will cause some other phenotype.

So a genetic predisposition should be considered like potential energy in physics. If a book is sitting up on top of a shelf, it is said to have potential energy. The potential energy is the amount of energy produced by that book as it falls to the floor. The fact that it is stationary and not moving, or actually producing the energy, makes it 鈥減otential鈥?and not kinetic energy. Once the book is moving, the energy produced is kinetic energy (energy of motion). A genetic predisposition is much the same 鈥?there鈥檚 potential for the phenotype encoded by that gene (or those genes if it鈥檚 part of a whole system of genes) to show up, but it鈥檚 not necessarily being shown/produced.

Back to the matter at hand 鈥?you were genetically predisposed to show gray hair. However, because something has happened, you are now showing gray hair. That event that happened to trigger this could be something that you could control, or it could be something beyond your control. In some people, going gray just happens, it happens at a certain time, and then it doesn鈥檛 proceed much beyond that.

Be that as it may, there鈥檚 nothing wrong with having gray hair. It鈥檚 just another thing that helps you be an individual. There are not any treatments that I know of, other than to dye your hair, that would make your hair less gray. Well, there are treatments, but they鈥檙e cost prohibitive, and I doubt they鈥檝e been approved by the FDA yet.

However, you really should try to eat three meals a day if you can. Actually, it鈥檚 a little better to spread that out over 5 smaller meals if possible. Going through a quasi-starvation state is not necessarily good for the body. It鈥檚 a bit rougher on the body to go long stretches of time without eating. The body does strange things to compensate, so try to get back on a fairly normal schedule. And eat a nice healthy, balanced diet. I鈥檓 not saying that those things will stop the gray hair (it might, who knows!), but it certainly won鈥檛 hurt things any, and if anything, it might help out a bit!

Take mehendi(marudhani leaf powder) and mix it with water and make it as a dough. Keep it in an iron pan or vessel(iron is good for the hair)for one full night.On the next day,take one spoon of tea powder and pour one glass of water to it.Boil it and bring it to half the glass.After it is cool,mix mehendi with it.Take your hair,make lot of partings and apply it in each section.Keep it for some time.Do not overdry it,because it will be hard to wash the mehendi from the hair.After few minutes,wash it well with shampoo.If you do not wash the hair well,you might get dandruff.For few days,your hair will look brown,then it will turn to thick black.This will also prevent white hair. Those with sinus problems are not recomended to use it.
