Generally, new hair turns white after 50 years, but now there is a problem with white hair before 20 to 30 years or even earlier. In fact, hair follicles contain cells that produce pigment.

It is normal for hair to turn gray with age. But there are reasons behind hair turning white at an early age. Experts see several reasons for this. Too much stress or other health problems can also be the reason. According to research, gray hair is largely genetic.
