Premature hair graying is one of the side effects of modern living and for many, it’s a scary experience; many enter panic mode when they notice the first white strand especially when they are still in their youth.
There are many factors responsible for
appearance of premature white hair, but the good news is that it is preventable
with simple remedies and precautions.
Hair whitening is due to loss of hair pigments; hair turns gray as pigment reduces and becomes completely white when there is no pigment again. The amount of pigment that is injected into each
strand of hair gets reduced as humans age.And
aside from aging, other factors that cause premature hair graying include
genes, hormones, medical conditions, lack of iron, iodine, and vitamin B12,
deficiency of melanin, chemocals, smoking as well as thyroid issues, amongst
many others.
Genes determine what age individual hair loses
pigment, imbalance in hormones can trigger or increase premature graying of
hair while some medical conditions like vitiligoi, pernicious anemia, thyroid
diseases and premature aging syndromes can trigger loss of pigment in hair.
Is it possible to naturally get rid of white
hair? This is dependent on the cause of graying. If it is caused by genes,
there is not much one can do to reverse the change.
For
graying caused by underlying health conditions, the most viable option is to
treat the ailment responsible. Once the problem is treated, it may help restore
pigment to the hair, though there is no guarantee.
Graying can be stopped through re-pigmentation
which is possible after hormone therapy treatment or taking shots or pills of
vitamin B12.
Are there natural remedies?
