I'm only 26 but my hair and beard are turning from black to white really fast. How can I stop this and get my natural black hair back? Is there any way to reverse the white hair or would I need surgery for permanent results?

While you may not be able to fully reverse the greying of your hair and beard at your age, you can take steps to slow down the process and potentially improve the health of your hair. It's important to remember that genetic factors play a significant role in greying, so complete reversal might not be possible.
