    how early you get white hair depends partly on genes inherited by your family

    But dying your hair is the only way to hide it temporarily. Are there any other ways?

    It would be great if they could come up with something to get your haircolor back permanently or at least for a longer periode. Haircoloring only works for a short time and especially if your hair grows very fast.
    All my siblings have white hair at an early age, though only some strings here and there but it's very annoying because it's very visible when you have black hair. But we all inherited some bad genes from our father.

    Ive been told its due to stress, but ive read that its all to do with genes. Its hereditary apparently.

    Im 18 and I got a fair few white hairs, could be stress, but then again, my mums side of the fam seem to get white hairs young

    well i agree with wot the people said...
    stress
    genes
    diet
    age--not so much of a factor if ur genes does not play a big role
    well handling stress is a good way to reduce the amount of white hair.. or to slow its become white rate
    there is nothign you could do about genes ;) you are born with it in you.. in your dna ;)
    and diet is very important... i dont really know what kind of food could cause it though.. but then anti oxidant food will help to reduce it ;)
    anti aging to ;)

    White hair is mostly caused by stress or pressure...

    or you might get white hairs at a young age cos its in your genes...
