What Causes White Underarm Hairs?

I just noticed a few underarm hair growing white. I am not very old and have about 4 white grey hair on my head. So it is a little worrying. Is it because of my deodorant? Some of the hair is only partly white ( only the top part) which gives me the idea that the phenomenon is not internal

Hello,

Thank You for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Having about 4 grey hair is not a problem. It is not usually caused by deodorant.

Sometimes partly grey hair is also common and is also not significant. I meant not a big concern. However, the cause would be genetic mostly and is very difficult to treat.
