Reply ... There can be many reasons for graying of hair at this age. Our skin is covered with millions of hair follicles and they contain melanin in the form of pigment. When the hair follicles lose the pigment-producing cells, the hair turns white. Graying of hair is a natural process of aging, but having gray hair at an early age is a matter of concern. Reason ... - genetic characteristics. Deficiency of zinc, biotin, copper, vitamin B, vitamin E and vitamin D. Hair loss due to daily pollution.
- Stress, high blood pressure and anxiety. Diseases such as alopecia areata (excessive hair loss), thyroid disease, hair abnormalities, vitiligo (a skin disease) etc. Chemical dyes and other products applied to the hair are also the cause. Hydrogen peroxide, a harmful chemical present in dyes, reduces melanin. First of all, fix your eating habits. Eat foods rich in antioxidants, such as fruits, green vegetables, green tea and fish Cashews, potatoes, chickpeas, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and mushrooms are rich in copper and vitamin E. These foods can increase the pigmentation of the hair.
• Consuming more fruits rich in vitamin C like oranges, melons and strawberries can slow down the rate of premature graying of hair. Consuming foods rich in Vitamin B such as milk, red meat, curd, cottage cheese, bananas and carrots help to keep cells healthy and active, making hair strong and soft. PABA and pantothenic acid are used to delay the onset of whitening of hair. Supplements containing folic acid and pantothenic acid help restore hair to its original color. Use mild shampoo or organic shampoo.
Do not use hair bleaching agents, ionizing and coloring rods. Mix curry leaves, almonds, vitamin E, mustard and natural colors in coconut oil and apply it on the hair. In some cases, with proper diagnosis and treatment, graying of hair can be prevented. In that case, definitely see a doctor.
