premature gray hair
My 5 year old has straight, light brown hair. Lately I've noticed several white, kinky/wiry hairs growing out of his head? Everything I've seen online about premature gray hair mentions children 8 and up. Does anyone know if this is a symptom of an illness/disease in very young children?
My 12 year old daughter has the same hair type as your son. I have found several kinky tight curly grey hairs in her head also. She has eczema and is allergic to gluten. We need to get her checked for gluten intolerance. I don't know if these are related to the hairs. Maybe it is a copper difficiency. My child is on no medications and uses shampoo from Walmart. Maybe someone can post more answers or suggestions. Thanks.
