Hairs Getting White

Well I have been trying to get my question squeezed in , in that list from the start of this month and at last I have got it .

Well the problem that I am facing is that I am just 18 years of age and my hairs are getting white . They sometimes start getting white from the top and some from the botton i.e the base . This is happening from last three to four years. As far as the history of my parents is concerned , my MOM faced the same trouble while she was at my age and go all her hairs white , from then on she has used Dyes. I have consulted a no. of homeopath doctors and they all gave me hope but nothing resulted. I even went to the side of herbal treatment but all my hopes and efforts ended in smoke . Now I have approached you.

Here I should also mention that I am a DNS patient. Whom ever I have consulted has said that this is becoz of this , that my nasal holes are quite small becoz of which the needed amount of Oxygen does not get in making circulation of blood difficult.

Well please help me. This is really creating a lot of trouble for me especially when I come across my age mates , they all at times make fun of me saying that you are quite old and its your hairs that suggest that.

I am really looking forward to a positive response from your side.

Thanx.
Tarique.

Tarique:

In some families, hairs whiten early.  This is not a "disease" per se, but rather a genetic tendency to have what happens to everyone sooner or later happen early.

There is no treatment.  There are, however, hair dyes which can make your condition invisible to anyone but you.  They are safe and effective.  Seek them out, learn to use them, or have a hairdresser apply them for you.  Then you can dismiss your self-consciousness.

By the way, I am unfamiliar with the term, DNS.

Best.
