18 Year Old With White Hair

Hi, im an 18 year old male. I have thick hair and 40% of my hair are white. is there anyway to pervent white hair? its pretty embarrassing. My head starting itching a lot starting last year, dandruff exposes when i scratch my scalp. i started using scalpicin, but it only makes the itch go away for few hours. I seriously claw my head sometimes and feel like my head bleeds. ive been getting some pimples on the side of my head. i pop them sometimes to get rid of them. i take showers everyday, im healthy, i got short hair, i got smooth skin. i just have white hair, few pimples and late night scalp itch. What the hell is going on… im only 18.

The pimples may be the result of the ‘clawing’ you are doing. Breaking the skin makes you a set-up for folliculitis (which causes pimples). White hair is genetically controlled. I have seen many people turn white early in life. When that happens, hair dyes are the way to manage the process. Get a professional stylist who is skilled in this process and your gray will be washed away. It will require frequent applications to maintain the new color. There is no permanent solution to going gray or white prematurely. The frequency of dying depends upon the growth rate. The average person grows 1/2 inch per month and the roots of the gray new hair will start to show in a week or so. Then, once you understand the rate of growth the the ‘root showing’ issue, you can make up a schedule for repeat dying of the hair.
