How To Stop Hair Turning White at Young Age |Premature Grey Hair Treatment
Hi friends, today we will be speaking about premature greying of hair.
I will talk about the causes, as well as the treatment.
Hair often start greying by 35-40 years of age.
But nowadays it is happening, that by the time a person is in their 20's their hair starts becoming grey.
Why do hair start greying in young people?
In our hair roots, as well as skin there is a special kind of cell which is called "Melanocyte" these cells create black pigmentation in our hair and skin.
The darker the colour that these cells make the darker our skin colour becomes.
The degree of darkness of our hair and skin is determined by our genes.Those who produce a lot of dark pigment in their skin are brown/dark complexioned.
And those people whose skin produces lesser pigment, have fair skin.
Greying of hair due to external & environmental factors These pigment manufacturing cells are very delicate.
And whenever our body is weakened by illness the production of pigment by these cells gets interrupted.
For example ,Any kind of stress or tension or a prolonged illness such as typhoid, or malaria or diabetes, asthma, kidney & liver diseases etc causes the hair to start greying.
Certain causes are medically established which cause premature greying.The first is our genes.Those people who have a family trait of premature greying of hair are naturally prone to premature greying.
The other reason is a deficiency of Vitamin B12 or Vitamin B5 in our system.
Anaemia also leads to premature greying of hair. Hormonal imbalances in our body which is often triggered by stress.
Also, pituitary and thyroid hormone imbalances have started becoming very common in young persons nowadays.
In women, during pregnancy and menopause when hormone levels are disturbed there can be incidences of hair becoming grey.
In an attempt to reduce stress, people have begun abusing substances like alcohol, coffee, cigarettes and drugs.
So in essence, many factors contribute to premature greying of hair.
Usually, once hair start becoming grey, it is not easy to make them their natural colour again but we can still do some treatments which can prevent premature greying of hair.
