Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Greying of hair occurs when the melanin of a particular hair follicle is permanently exhausted.
Treatment of grey hair is pretty challenging. I would advise you biotin and calcium pantothenate combination tablets for atleast 6-8 months. Apply Altris gel containing Melitane, which is a new compound shown good results in premature greying of hair. Also, a novel hair sunscreen cum hair serum Q sera black has shown good results in preventation of hair damage from sun and pollution.
Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and try to de-stress your lifestyle. Try to limit your smoking and alchohol intake.
I am sure this will take care of your issue.
Thank you

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Premature Greying is still a poorly understood entity. The causes suggested are genetic, Vitamin deficiencies, Stress, free radical injury etc. The treatment recommended is vitamin supplements with atleast 100 to 200 mg of calcium pantothenate, PABA, Biotin and anti oxidants. Now a new product has come in the market(Melitane- Altris gel) which has peptide which stimulates the pigment producing cells of hair. Sufficient studies and experience is not yet available for it.
Cessation of smoking is a good idea as it causes lot of free radical injury.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
