Brief Answer:
Pabatab...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Premature hair greying is usually due to unknown cause. There is no clinically proven treatment available to treat premature hair greying. However a few small scale studies done in the past revealed supplementing Paraaminobenzoic acid (PABA) is known to stop and reverse premature greying. Therefore you may try PABA supplements for few months and see if it helps.

Tab Pabatab is one such brands available in the market. You can try this supplement - tab pabatab 500mg twice a day for 3-6 months.

That being said, if you are cosmetically worried, the best approach to treat premature hair greying is through hair coloring and dyeing.

Hope this helps.
