gray/white hairs at young age?!

Hi. dhellick08chou. I have a few gray hairs. I believed that I have pulled one of my gray hairs out of my scalp last week. It was a long strand. My gray hairs is not noticeable not unless you are looking really close. I had a long gray strand in my hair when I was in high school. When my aunt would fix my hair she saw it and she told me about this. She said that it is a sign of wisdom, which is a very good thing. I don't know any other remedy besides you just dying your hair strand. If it is only a few then you can cover it up by wearing your hair toppled over so that it won't show. I am not worrying about mines. I have jet black hair and my gray strand does not hardly show anyway.

Hi dhellick08chou, Welcome to Mylot. Yeah its common problem for youngesters. There are few herbal oils which goes into the root to stop white hairs. Also today people go for colouring stuffs to hide the white hairs. Best is go for natural way of oil. Try Ashwini, its good. But not sure if its available in your country.

My sister and I both have gray hair at young age, we inherited from our parents who both have a lot of gray hairs in young age aswell. I don't think there is a remedy for it, it is just natural, I used to dye my hair all the time and now I jus tpull the gray ones out on the top.

You really don't have to be elderly to have graay hair. My mother-in-law still tells her grandchildren the stories of how she had gray hair at nineteenn. It doesn't seem like it should be real, but it is. I guess it's just in the genes and something we just pass on through the generations.

I know someone with the same situation like you. and he thought it is because of the brand of shampoo he is using. He uses Head & Shoulders combined with Clear for men. Those brand of shampoo were business rivals in shampoo category. so he think the chemical fight each other when he uses it. and it results to washing out the color of the hair. I think his opinion is kinda crazy. =)

Sucess a lot of sucess of course

You can always dye your hair as bad as that is but it can happen. You can also keep it shaved(depending on gender). My father had grey hair when he was 16. Growing up everyone thought he was my grandfather and I'd get mad and yell and stomp hes my DAD! When I found out that he had grey hair at 16 I was so paranoid that I'd end up being 16 and grey too and I really don't want to happen. Here I am 19 and no grey hair! Thank goodness I'm so anti dye but at 16 I'd dye my hair very often if that was the case!

Not sure of any remedy for it. I know that my sister was getting them at age 16. I have heard though or read it somewhere that melanin levels in your body help with the color of hair as well as like how tan someone is.

Yes, even I had white hair in my childhood.I used Ayurvedic medicines available in the market and I got rid of the problem. I don't think it is hereditary because none of my parents, their grand parents had this problem. I am the only one in the family. Many friends used to make fun of my white hair. Now I feel comfortable because no need to use dyes to colour the hair.

At the age of 11?? It really sounds bad for even if it is a hereditary trait to get gray hairs early. You probably must be lacking some nutrients or maybe even having stress. Those are main reasons for hair turning gray. Try to see a doctor about it as soon as you can. Also, ensure that you are eating a proper well-balanced and well-rounded diet, lots of fruits and green veggies everyday. If you eat junk food, give them up totally because they seem to be the main culprits of gray hairs.
