Hi there,

To be honest, this is my first time in 20 odd years in the field that someone has asked me this query. Very refreshing change. Actually, one can try to bleach a forelock & there are some strong chemical bleaches. But I would recommend a mild bleach so that you do not end up damaging your hair. Do not take oral medications as albeit they may work, it would be ethically incorrect for me to name them & they may cause some serious side effects.

Do hope this answers' your question. Cheers & Good Luck.

P.S..I empathise with you as at one point I shared a similar predicament . Cheers!
