Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query. The most important cause for premature graying of hair is genetic or hereditary factors. Hair turns white due to lack of pigmentation and melanin. Other important causes are malnutrition and a diet deficient in vit B , smoking ,thyroid disease, stress and anxiety, unclean condition of the scalp, drying it with an electric dryer and use of hair dyes.
If the cause is genetic then very little can be done for the hair that have already turned gray, but if the cause is dietary then taking healthy nutritious diet and vitamin B supplements may help. Indulge in relaxation and meditate to avoid stress and avoid smoking if you smoke. Keep the hair clean by using a mild shampoo and use warm water for rinsing hair. Hot water should not be used. These methods may help in preventing further graying of hair. Hair that have lost pigmentation need to be colored by hair dyes or hair colors.
Hope this answers your query. If you have follow up queries , do not hesitate to write back. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wish you good health.
