Grey Hair Cause, Treatment & Prevention
There could be a lot of reasons for early onset of greying
of hair, much before the onset of aging. One reason could be stress and
tension. As you age your body’s capacity to produce the pigment melanin (that
gives the skin and hair its olor) decreases and they turn white. Smoking is
also one of the reasons for gray hair during early years. Certain medical
illnesses or health problems can also lead to graying or premature aging of
hair. Some drugs or use of hydrogen
peroxide can also lead to change of hair colour.
Apart from temporary cosmetic treatments like dyeing and
colouring, you can try the natural methods outlined above for gray hair
treatment. The effect of dyes will last for about a month, while permanent hair
colour will last a few months. In both cases, the new hair growth after the
treatment will be white, making touch-ups necessary. In either case, repeated
application will lead to side effects and thus aren’t a very healthy
alternative.
Prevention of greying is a difficult issue to handle as gray
hair is caused by a lot of factors. Grey hair due to age or heredity is beyond
our control. By doing things like taking good care of our health, avoiding
harmful chemical products, eating a healthy diet with nutritious food, taking
vitamin supplements if required, avoiding stress, and having good sleeping
habits every day we could delay the onset.
