Brief Answer:
need further details

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting me with your health concern and after reviewing the same, I am of the following opinion:

1. White hair(s) at her age could be because of:
- any nutritional deficiency (check with CBC and vitamin B12, Iron studies, Vit. D)

2. Stress ( any undue physical/mental/job/family pressure) causing Anxiety issues.

3. Any medical condition (check with her Thyroid test)

4. Check with a Trichologist for any Autoimmune disorder of the scalp (alopecia/vitiligo)

5. Any excessive use of harsh hair dyes/shampoos or any other hair care products??

6. Genetics: any history of premature graying of hair at young age in your family??

Do revert back with your clarifications for further line of management.
