Question: My beard and mustache have gone almost completely gray, but I have only a sprinkling of white hair on my head. Is this normal?
Dr. Hibberd's answer:
Graying of facial hair before scalp hair is distinctly unusual. I suppose it’s time for you to go clean-shaven for a while.
Perhaps you are applying a bleaching agent in one of your facial cleansers?
Gather your products together, and consult your family doctor or pharmacist to be sure you are not accidently bleaching your facial hair.
Without knowing your age and medical situation, I would defer to your personal physician on this one.
