this spread uncontrolled? hi, im 24 and have discovered a bunch of white hair growing in the scalp area above and behind my right ear. i have been involved in alot of stress from years, i belong to the kinda work in which i gota deal with alot of stress. however there is no such history in my family, so im cancelling genetics out. my question is, will reduction in this stress (meaning change in lifestyle work etc) have any affect in the multiplication or can prevent the multiplication of these white hair? i know from my research so far that there is no effective cure.

Stress will not affect the growth rate either way, they are there to stay. I started going grey in my mid 20s and from around 26 I had a silver stripe in my hair. I dyed it for years and then just left it to grow. I love it, its distinctive and I no longer worry about it.

Just go to your Dr. to examine what causes it,if there is no physical cause then go to your Psichologist.I haven't heard about white hair,but what I know and Drs say is that stress can cause lose of hair.
