    doesn't matter, having a few strand of white hair won't kill you, just color it

    i would only worry if i was growing bald!!

    its true..cos our original hair colour is white, but its just the pigment cells that make our hair colour..as time goes by..the pigment cells can start to weaken naturally or due to stress etc..which is why gray/ white hair begins to appear..

    It is most likely to be stress, pressure.

    i agree with all of the above; namely stress beside the age factor is what makes hair white. or it could be genetics but that's very rare. i have a friend who has some white strands of hair (even from the root) who's had it ever since she was little so it's in her DNA.

    I think white hair is part of aging, it also runs in the genes and stress is also a factor...As for what to eat to have less white hair...I heard u can eat "fat choi" although I would love to find out more recipes if anyone knows anything...white hair is annoying to have :p I heard the more you dye your hair, the more white hair u get~

    you say that white hair is annoying but its weird to think that there are people out there who like to have white hair, otherwise why whould there be an option to highlight your hair white. lol

    genese, diet, and environment.

    many of my friends have white hair at an early age, in their teens. im thankful i dont have any at all, not even 1 i dont think. but i believe my diet plays a role. i eat almost anything, and etc.
