Answer 1

maybe see a doctor. or it is genetic. my friend has had white hairs since she was about your age as well. but i think you should see a doct if it really bothers you

Answer 2

Hair turns white for a variety of reasons.  One of the biggest however is poor nutrition.  Although more than likely the color of the 2 or 3 hairs that you already have probably will never come back, to avoid getting more it is VERY important that you eat a well balanced diet.  This means, proper amounts of protein, fruits, veggies, dairy and grains.  Contrary to popular belief, your body needs a little bit of everything to survive, remember the food pyramid!  If you have everything in moderation it is possible to stay skinny and have a healthy body.

Answer 3

Talk to your doctor - you should be eating 2000 calories a day. dont binge just eat right and healthy go to seventeen.com in the health section about food. they might have something there for you. but you need to eat more and your doctor will tell you what vitamins to take. FEEL BETTER. you will get more white hairs if you dont start getting to a more reasonable weight.  

Answer 4

Some people just have them, I know an eighth grader who has a long white streak in her hair. Do your relatives have them? It could be genes.

Answer 5

Yes, watch what you're eating, and try to consume more vitamins and minerals to enrich the scalp. It could also be from stress, it can do a lot to your body, try to ease out a little bit. :) I hope I helped.

Good luck, take care! xxxx.

Answer 6

Hello Umm If you are underweight just eat more portions of healthy foods and stay active the white hairs are probably lack of vitamins

Answer 7

I've never heard of malnutrition causing hair to lose it's pigment, but I suppose it's possible. Some people just naturally have stray white or gray hairs from a young age and some naturally go white before they're twenty. You could try dying it if you're self conscious of it.

Answer 8

Yes, you need to be eating healthier and getting all of your vitamins, minerals, and nutirents daily. It seems normal that you have some grey hairs because you are underweight and your body's cells aren't getting the nutrients to produce the correct pigment of your hair. Get healthy, trust me you'll see a difference because you'll loose the grey hairs and also have thicker, bouncier, and healthier hair.

Answer 9

if its on your head then is it at the end? if so then maybe its because you straightening it too much . .
