As people age, the pigment cells in each hair follicle begin to die. This causes the hair to become white or grey. This is not unnatural or bad for you - it just show's you are growing older. Most people get their first few white hairs in their late forties or fifties.

Is it ok if a boy has white hair?

This may not be a problem. In the case of baby boys, hair is often very light at birth, and it gets darker as the boy gets older. But there are also some boys with a genetic disease called "albinism," and their hair will remain white. A doctor can tell you whether or not the baby has this particular condition.
