Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for the query.
White hairs appear due to loss of melanin.
It is a genetically determined condition and very difficult to treat.
There is an enzyme test to detect activity of melanin formation. It is called as tyrosinase test. This test can tell exactly what is the problem.
You may XXXXXXX a trichologist and get your self tested.
Regarding treatment, you cannot expect great results as it is very difficult to induce melanin synthesis.
Let me know if you have any other doubts .
Thank you
