Single Red Hair
Hello, I noticed that my 1.3 year old baby boy has a single red hair on his head. So I'm really afraid if this leads to white hair ?? Currently we use bore water in home. Or is this due to any vitamin deficiency ?? Please clarify. Thank You.

White hair could be due to chemicals in the water, u can use mineral water to wash your baby's hair for the time being. The use of supplement would also help. You don't have to worry. Change of water could solve the issue. If it happens repeatedly get a pediatrician to examine however.
