When you think of grey hair,you think  that only people who are over 50 year old  can have grey hair.But this is not true.Grey hair can be seen in people in their 20s,30s,even in their late teens.



Causes of Grey Hair Or Premature Grey Hair:

1.Growing old.As a person ages, the cells in the hair root reduces the production of melanin and the hair slowly turns grey.

2.Heredity.Genes play a large role in graying.

3.Stress.Being constantly under stress can make your hair turn grey.

4.Smoking.Smokingis linked to premature graying.

A 1996 British Medical Journal study conducted by J.G. Mosley, MD found that tobacco smoking may cause premature graying. Smokers were found to be four times more likely to begin graying prematurely, compared to nonsmokers in the study.

5.Lack of Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA).


PABA is typically known as the hair color vitamin.PABA is required for the synthesis of folic acid within the body and contributes to the proper metabolism of protein. It has the ability to block against the UV rays of the sun and is commonly used in sunscreen preparations.The usual dose of PABA is between 25 and 300 mg for adults.


A deficiency in PABA may lead to grey hair. Research has shown its effects on animal hair cells. It is seen that when animal cells have been reintroduced to the vitamin, normal coloration is restored.


Like wise,studies conducted on humans found that when every meal was supplemented with 200 mg of the vitamin PABA, seventy percent of the grays returned to their original color.

Another study found that PABA, combined with Folic Acid, successfully reversed gray hair as well.Good sources of PABA include:Sources: Brewer's yeast, molasses, liver, kidney, whole grains.





6.Lack of Omega-3 fatty acids such as cod liver oil,salmon..etc in one's diet.

7.Excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol, and fried foods.

8.Unclean condition of one's scalp.

9.Deficiency of B vitamins such as Biotin, Folic Acid, B12 and Pantothenic Acid (vitamin B5).

10.Lack of copper in the body.premature graying is a sign of a copper deficiency.

11.Thyroid Imbalance.

12.Werner syndrome and pernicious anemia can also cause premature graying.Werner Syndrome is a very rare disorder characterized by premature or  accelerated aging.

And it should also be mentioned here that if you stop following these recommendations, you will lose any benefit you gained and the grey will return.
