Hi,
White hair at the age of 26 years is quite unusual. This is known as premature canities.

Let me first reassure you that the habit of masturbation is not at all affecting your change in hair color. Masturbation is a normal issue with everybody and it is just like eevry type of need of body. Do not at all correlate masturbation with grey hair. Thought the frequency is bit higher so you can reduce the same.

The latest of the treatment available for the same is by "Melitain gel" local application. For the prevention there is no mainstay of therapy but you can take vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other B complexes.

Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and sprouts which contains vitamins and minerals necessary for normal hair function.

Reduce your stress level and stop any substance abuse like smoking or alcohol.

Take care.
