White Hair / Grey Hair
As you age, having graying or white hair will almost seem like a natural phenomenon. But what if you start seeing it in your teens…that’s going to start raising a lot of eyes as well as questions like “Are you feeling alright?” or “You’re looking haggard lately, what’s happening to you?”

It is apparent that graying is not a healthy sign. Doesn’t it make you just want to pluck them all off and keep them out of sight? The thing is, there will be no end to your white hair, no matter how much you pick at them. It’s only going to make things worse! According to research, 1 in 5 young men and women will start to face premature graying once they reach the age of 25. By the time they’re in their 40s and 50s, there will be about 30% more white hair.

Causes

1. Natural ageing process：
   Basically, every strand of hair is divided into its hair shaft (the part that’s exposed on the surface of the scalp) as well as the follicle (hidden beneath the scalp). Normally, the amount of Melanin we produce determines the colour density of our hair.
   
   On a whole, most Asians in their childhood as well as teenage years are able to produce vast quantities of Melanin. As the years add on, the natural ability to produce Melanin will start to slow down and gradually diminish, causing the Melanin in the hair shafts and well as follicles to disappear, finally resulting in a full head of white hair.
   
   
2. Sudden graying：
   The appearance of white hair can suddenly take place when one is going through a traumatic situation. White hair will start to appear first on the forehead and near the temple areas.
   
   
3. Lack of proper nutrients
   This can happen when you’re well in your youth. The amount of white hair may not be obvious, but by the time you discover them, it could already be growing at an uncontrollable rate.
   
   The graying process can be accelerated by cell malfunction, body deficiency, heredity or genetic disorders, as well as external factors like surgery, emotional shock or an accident that could easily have unsettled our biological systems.

Think about it – white or gray hair will add on the years to your physical appearance; it’ll almost be like you lost that youthful look of yours in a matter of months! It doesn’t matter if your hair is turning white prematurely or it’s just part of the process of ageing. As soon as you discover that your hair is losing its colour, you should seek professional help to get to the root of the problem as soon as possible.

There is definitely a cure for this! Think your hair won’t grow back just because you’ve been plagued with a head of whites or grays? Well fret not! That will only happen without the appropriate hair care; early treatment is the only way to halt premature greying.

If you seek the help of a professional hair specialist as soon as a hair problem arises, chances are you’ll be able to restore your hair to its original colour and shine. In no time at all, you’ll have a new lease of life.
