    What do I do if my hair is turning white when I'm still young?
    Community Answer
    Some people get white hair when young from genetics and the only way around this is to dye your hair. That said, not getting enough of some nutrients may make your hair turn white. Nutrients affect your hair a lot in general so make sure you get enough zinc, iron, copper, vitamins and protein. Also, avoid stress.
