Teenagers with many white hairs

Generally speaking, everyone believes that adolescence is the fastest period of development, and all aspects of the human body's functions are most fully developed during this period. But nowadays, many people have white hair at a young age, and they grow in large patches, making them look particularly old. In many cases, this is caused by excessive stress. So, what should we do if young people have a lot of gray hair?

"Premature graying of hair" refers to the premature graying of hair in adolescence, making the hair appear gray. What determines the color of hair is the amount of pigment particles in the hair. When hair turns from black to white, it is generally due to the decline of the function of the hair's pigment cells. When they decline to the point where they can no longer produce pigment particles, the hair turns completely white.

In normal people, hair pigment cells begin to decline from the age of 35. Some people have white hair in their 20s, which is medically called juvenile graying, commonly known as "premature graying".
