Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

What you are having is premature grey hair. The various causes for premature graying of hair are genetics or hereditary factors, malnutrition and a diet deficient in vitamin B, smoking, thyroid disease, stress and anxiety, unclean condition of the scalp and drying it with an electric dryer. Change in water does not cause premature grey hair.

In your case, given your family history of your father having premature grey hair, it looks like genetic factors are responsible in your case.

For grey hair:

1)     Take vitamin B supplements like Cobadex for some days.

2)     Eat a healthy, nutritious diet and do not take any undue stress. You can also indulge in yoga and meditation.

3)     Get your thyroid status checked if you have any additional symptoms like dry skin, obesity, cold intolerance etc.

4)     At this point in time no remedy exists that can reverse the greying process but for the already grey hair, but you can use various types of permanent, semi-permanent and semi-permanent hair dyes after consulting a trichologist.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
