I am 21 years old and I have about 15 white hairs around my temples… I used to have about 3 or 4 last year but a lot of stress over this past year has spread the white hairs. I have been told that plucking out the white hairs will cause for the white hairs to spread. Is this true? Also, are there any spray on dyes or temporary touch up dyes that are available on the market? Any information would be helpful, thanks!
Plucking hairs produces traction alopecia and may cause permanent loss of the hair if you persist on doing it. Plucking hair in one area will NOT cause hair to be lost or gray in another area. You will almost certainly see more white hairs over the years. I would put my money on genetic causes, not stress.
As for hair dyes, you should ask your local hair stylist.

I have been told that a new treatement for white hair would have been discovered in England. It would take a daily pill and your hair could be black again. Would somebody tell me if it is true?

hi, am 18 years old i have more than 8 white hairs on my head and i wonder is the white hairs will spread over the years because last years i found only 5 white hairs. furthermore, is the white hairs genetic, is it bad to have them, and how would you prevent to have them.
I’m 17 and I have around 20-30 white hairs already. Will I have to resort to hair dyes my whole life??
