I am 18 years old and some of my hairs have turned white. I've noticed that each week their are some new white hairs grown. How can I prevent this? Can white hairs be removed from hair transplantation?

Hi lybrate-user. Most people have white hairs by 35 years of age. But in some it can start very early as in your case. This condition is called premature greying or premature canities. Certain medical conditions like thyroid problems, stress, vitamin B12 deficiency etc can cause greying of hair. So get yourself checked if you suffer from any of these conditions. Also do not take too much stress, have a good 8 hour sleep, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables so that vitamin deficiencies can get corrected.
