Graying of hair is caused when cells at the hair base (melanocytes) stop producing the pigment which is responsible for giving our hair its colour. Hair is said to have greyed prematurely if it occurs before the age of 30 years.
Causes :
- Genetic
- Stress
- Autoimmune disease such as Vitiligo, thyroid problem or alopecia areata
- Vitamin B 12 defiency
- Smoking
Treatment Options:
The ability to reverse or prevent white hair depends on the cause. If the cause is genetics, there isn't anything you can do to prevent or permanently reverse the color change. If a health problem is suspected, hair can repigment when the underlying condition responsible for white hair is treated.
