Posted on Thu, 12 Mar 2015

Question: My hair are getting gray , what to be followed to make the existing gray hair to black

Answered by Dr. Shahid Hassan (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Chances are there

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

Premature greying of hair is called Canitis.
Melitane (acetyl hexapeptide 1) is the molecule which claim to darken hair and reverse greying.

In my clinical experience chances reversing grey hair is 50-60%. But it is very effective in stopping further greying.

Take tab PABA (Para aminobenzoic acid) one tab twice daily.

This will benefit you certainly.

Thanks.
