Is White Hair Normal?
Aging leads to white or grey hair which is a natural change. The amount of melanin which gives our hair its color, is reduced as we age. This is what causes grey or white hair. In most cases, greying appears for people in their 40s or later.
But if you notice grey hair before you are 30, it means you have premature grey hair. Lifestyle, diet, or genes can be the reason in such situations. If you start treating it early, you may be able to slow the progress of further greying.
What Causes White Hair at a Young Age?
Many factors can cause premature grey hair. Knowing about them helps you deal with or prevent them.
Common Hair Greying Causes:
● Genetics
If your parents had early greying, you may too.
● Vitamin Deficiency
Inadequate Vitamin B12, D, iron, and copper in the diet reduces melanin formation.
● Oxidative Stress
Hair cells can be harmed by free radicals that are produced when our diet and air are polluted.

Premature Hair Greying: A Step-by-Step Hair Care Routine
Maintaining a routine for hair helps keep the scalp healthy and stops greying, at least for a while. Here is a simple plan to help get the best outcome:
Step 1: Cleanse
Use a shampoo that is made for your type of scalp. Try our anti-dandruff kit. It removes dandruff and buildup from hair that might block the follicles.
Step 2: Nourish
Use a hydrating hair mask once each week. It hydrates dry hair and brings back the softness it needs.
Step 3: Strengthen
Gently massage our everyday hair tonic into your scalp. It supports the flow of blood to the scalp and wakes up melanin cells which give color to hair roots.
Step 4: Protect
Avoid heat tools and harsh styling products. Be sure to put a scarf or hat on your hair any time you are under the sun.
Step 5: Massage
Oil massaging once or twice a week is good for your blood circulation. Hair grows better and is less likely to gray because of this.
