i'm getting white hair!!!
Can somebody please tell me what to do! I'm only 13yrs old and I'm having a lot of white hair! I know it's because I always keep my hair up when it's wet, but now, I don't know what to do to get it back. I don't want to dye my hair, because it'll kill the hair cells. Someone help please!

Keeping your hair up when wet has nothing to do with the cause of this...but you should see a doctor about it. Tell your parent that you have this problem, if they don't already know. Its unheard of for someone your age to go grey or white ! Could be a nutritional deficiency...or sign of some other medical condition that will require treatment. Don't put it off, please?
Good luck, Dr. Stephanie

Nope, that is not why. I believe a couple of other Adviceinators already explained it correctly so I won't bother reiterating but if I were you I would try combing some strong tea or coffee through it. That will put some color back into it without the hassles of dye. You will have to reapply it often but it works for brown hair. If you like red hair try some henna. If you are blond then does any of this really matter? The white hair will blend in anyway! Now for the dumb blond joke(You all saw it coming didn't you?) The Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, a dumb blond and a smart blond were walking down the street when they spotted a ten dollar bill on the ground. Which one picked it up? The dumb blonde of course! There is no such thing as the Tooth fairy, Santa Claus or a smart blonde!

Just so you know if you choose to dye it when it grows out. It will always be the first hair that you notice because it is so hard to dye as it probably has no pigment.
Your hair doesn't change colour because its up when its wet. I get how you feel though I have random bits of white hair and people used to laugh at me when I was your age. And now people I meet are like "wow that's so cool, seriously you've had this naturally since you were a baby?"
If you don't want to dye your hair there is not much you can do but embrace it! Also its supposed to be lucky to have white streaks. :)

I knew two sisters growing up, one in high school and the other in college. Both had hair that went grey early, like by 22 the one who was my friend has totally grey hair, due to a hereditary trait.
So if it's all over, it's somewhere in the genes.
If its just one chunk of hair going totally white and the rest staying your natural color, its a little more rare but a common thing too and you may be the only one in your family with that. I had a coworker friend whose daughter had the chunk of white hair. Her friends were envious. If they wanted to color their hair green or red or blue, they had to totally strip their hair first of their natural color before recoloring which is a much harsher process on the hair. If you do get a chunk or all white hair, you'll be able to color your hair any color you want, a lot more easily than others.
Wearing hair up, no matter in what style, whether wet or dry does not change hair color. People with lighter hair spending lots of time in the sun with nicer weather here now, will find the sun can turn their hair a shade lighter but will never go totally white. Its the sun bleaching the hair. I'm brunette and the only thing sun does, is bring out red or copper highlights more if it does anything at all. Some lighter brunettes who may have been blond as a baby can find the top layer of hair bleaching almost blonde in comparison but it will go back to brunette with the return of fall and winter and cloudy sunless skies.
I understand you are worried about coloring the hair, so either wear it white or try the natural foods stores who carry personal care products that are natural. Some carry hair coloring products that are gentle on the hair and on the environment.

Don't stress out- It can sometimes be due to stress.
Wow if its a stripe you'll be like Anna from Frozen~
This is not that uncommon. It can be due to genetics, it can be just natural.
I'm sure your whole head wont go white- not that that's a bad thing. Your face will still be young so its not like you'll look old or anything. Be calm.
It can sometimes be t vitamin deficiency. Visit a local dietician or doctor and ask them what you may need to supplement your diet.
