My daughter is 1 year old and is having a single grey hair on her head backside. To add a point, myself developed with grey hairs during my school time when I was around 12 years old. I am shocked to see a grey hair for my daughter at the age of just before 1. Please help me to understand the cause for this and how to correct it or avoid it from further increasing. Your support is highly appreciated.
