Today even children are not out of bounds of stress and hence graying of hair starts as early as in a ten year old. But to prevent graying of hair you have to know about it a little. Hence read on to know more. Every hair follicle has melanocytes, which are hair pigmentation producing cells. When a hair strand grows out of a hair follicle, melanocytes inject melanin into the strand that makes the hair colored. Usually with age, the melanocytes slowly stop producing the melanin, thus making the hair strands turn first gray and then white. But due to some reasons like some kinds of illness or stress or lack of proper nutrition, the melanocytes might stop producing enough melanin before time. This is what causes Premature Graying of hair. The kind of illnesses that might cause premature graying of hair includes hyperthyroidism, hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, pernicious anemia and so on. It can also be caused by excessive damage to the hair that happens from the effect of using chemical dyes frequently, keeping the scalp unclean and effect of some high dosage drugs. Since the reasons of premature graying of hair are varied, it is suggested that for treatment you consult a good Trichologist first before trying anything for yourself. For one thing using dyes that contain ammonia to color your hair would be a mistake that would further aggravate the problem. But unfortunately that is what most people do. While there are many reasons that cause early graying of hair. Major Causes for Premature Graying of Hair are: 1. Pollution 2. Lack of proper Nutrition 3. Hyperthyroidism 4. Hormonal Imbalances 5. Hypothyroidism 6. Pernicious Anemia 7. Usage of Chemical Dyes 8. Keeping Scalp Unclean 9. Consumption of some High Dosage Drugs If you too are facing the problem of #premature #graying of #hair, make sure you consult a good Trichologist to find out the reason behind the problem. Once the reason is clear it would be much easier to find a solution too. If the only option you have is to color your #hair, make sure you use a color that contains no #ammonia. Hence using something natural like the henna would be a good idea. And if you are fortunate to still have a mane of hair that has not started to gray yet, make sure you take proper care of it.
