Brief Answer:
"Premature canities".

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome again and thanks for posting your details. I can understand the concern for white hairs at the age of 28 years. As I said previously early greying of hair is known as "Premature canities".

Let you understand basic medical facts regarding this condition- Our hair roots contains color forming cells known as melanocytes. These continuously secretes color into the hair shaft. During aging process after the age of 30-35 years these stops functioning in a skewed manner and accordingly the hair becomes grey slowly. If at all this process appears early and the melanocytes are damaged then cause white colored hair. This condition is called as Premature canities.

The exact cause has still not been identified yet and most often the cause is unknown. But we implicate genetical factors, nutritional factor and preceding illness to be important causes.

Many times stress, dietary imbalance or any log term illness is considered to be an underlying important causes. Many a times the scalp hair color is basically genetically mediated so it depends on family pattern also in some persons.

For the prevention part- I first of all counsel my patient that white hair is not a disease entity. There is no pin point treatment for it.

I suggest my patients to take vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes. Multivitamin tablets contains all these essential nutrients and zinc with above mentioned vitamins, so you can take it.

Recently, a gel is now available in the market which contains "melitane" (commercially available as Altris gel) a new compound launched to prevent premature greying. It contains a peptide which stimulates the pigment producing cells of hair.

Additioannly a Hair Serum ( Q-SERA BLACK) is also availble. It contains Phytic acid, Amino acids, peptides & Acetyl Hexapeptide-1. This serum protects hair from UV rays causing structural damage i.e. internally & externally along with the prevention of graying.You should consult a dermatologist and take guidance so that long term use can be maintained.

For the best of natural methods I suggest my patients to do yoga especially "Pranayama" which helps in stopping the process early. Additionally increase you protein intake on daily basis and eat sprouts. Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and sprouts which contains vitamins and minerals necessary for normal hair function.

These natural methods will be helpful in at-least hating the further progression of white hairs.

I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.

"Wish you good health"
