Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting on HCM.
White hair i.e premature greying of hair occurs when the hair loses all of its pigment i.e melanin.
Hair color acts as mere camouflage by imparting temporary color to your hair but comes with price. Usually most of hair colors available in market contain ammonia, PPD and other strong chemicals which damage and weaken hair and thus lead to hair fall.
The treatment of premature greying is challenging with not sure shot remedy.
Recent research has brought up a new molecule called Melitane ( ALTRIS gel) which if applied to grey hair roots can turn them black. Ususally it takes 4-6 months of regular treatment to appreciate the results if any.
Additionally take tablets containing biotin and calcium pantothenate for 4-6 months.
As an option to hair color you can try using a biocolor which is ammonia and PPD free. It is available with brand name VEGETAL biocolor and is available online.
Hope this was useful.
Let me know if you need any more assistance from my side.
