My Beard And Hair Started Greying. Looking For Solution
Question: Hi sir I am at 30 my beard and hair are getting grey .I am very much frustrated need a solution for the same.
Hello..Welcome to XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
Hair turns white due to lack of pigment melanin.
The most important cause for premature graying of hair is genetic or hereditary factors. Other important causes are :
1)malnutrition
2)smoking
3)thyroid disease and adrenal disease
4)stress and anxiety
5)usage of chemicals: drying it with an electric dryer & use of hair dyes.
If the cause is genetic/heriditary,there is very little possibility that you can do something about it.
However, frequently ,it is multifactorial and the following can be done :
1) Taking healthy nutritious diet : Green leafy vegetables( raw as in salads), yoghurt, cheese, milk etc.
2) Indulge in relaxation to avoid stress
3) Avoid smoking if you smoke
4) Take multivitamin tablets with ZINC, BIOTIN, PABA ,CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE eg. Curlzvit. Take one tab a day for 3 months.
Hope this is helpful to you.I will be happy to answer your follow-up questions.
Wish you good health.
