Photos would certainly help, but is the hair growing in pure white from the roots or turning grey white, more of a film all over? If it is the latter it could be something like dandruff, mites or mange, all quite a common reaction to a time of poor nutrition and straying. I would get her checked by a vet if you can, just to be sure - some skin infections can be passed to humans so a professional check is particularly important if that is a possible cause.
