Hi

Premature graying of hair can occur due to autoimmune disease, nutritional deficiency ,stress or excessive use of harmful chemicals. Complete blood count should be taken.Complete reversal of graying may not be possible if genetic reason is the cause. Multivitamin supplements ,increased intake of antioxidant rich food,avoiding smoking and stress can reduce white hair.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
