Posted on Sat, 28 Dec 2013
Question: Hi - 33 yr old male. Recently my hair has been rapidly graying more than usual. This is thin wispy white hair that cannot be dyed. Also some thinning on the sides of my head. I realize that this is controlled by genetics but even my mother was able to XXXXXXX her hair. I was recently terminated from my job and had to stop taking my Lexapro. Sleep quality has also not been good. Finally, my sun exposure has also increased recently in Florida, although try to where a hat most of the time. Please let me know if this can be reversed. Thank you
