hi
it is mainly due to hormonal reason
u need to consult dermatologist
he will do ur hormonal evaluation
heredity is also common cause
white hair does not response to laser treatment
for that only electrolysis is very effective.
it is to be done for each and every hair and mild painful
but give excelllent result
