Desperate mother

My colleague, Ms. Lenny, is quite worried about premature white hair and hopes that some readers might be able to give her a recipe or advice to prevent white hair.

She has four children, two of them teenage girls who have lots of white hairs, which gives them a sense of inferiority.

Ms. Lenny admitted that such an affliction is hereditary, inasmuch as she herself (46 years of age) has to dye her hair periodically. She would be very much obliged to anyone who could offer a cure. She has consulted many doctors but to no avail. She even shaved her son's head, but the white hair sprouted again. Now a desperate mother, she is seeking advice to solve the problem.
