Brief Answer: Oral PABA+5%Melitane Detailed Answer: Hello and Welcome to healthcaremagic. I am Dr. Kakkar. I havegone through your query and I have understood your concern: 1) Hair is said to gray prematurely when it occurs before the age of 20 in whites, 25 in Asians and before 30 in africans Premature graying of hair occurs more commonly without any underlying pathology but is said to be mostly inherited. A role is postulated for environmental factors such as ultraviolet light, climate, smoking, drugs, trace elements, and nutritional deficiencies in the causation of premature graying. However, to date the exact etiology of premature graying has not been established. The color of hair mainly relies on the presence or absence of melanin pigment. It has been shown that gray hair has undergone a marked reduction in melanogenically active melanocytes in the hair follicle. Studies also show a relation between premature graying of hair and low S. Ferritin, S. Ca and vit D3 levels Treatment modalities available are: --Calcium pantothenate and --Para Aminobenzoic acid 100 mg thrice daily. With Para aminobenzoic acid (PABA) temporary hair darkening has been reported after ingestion of 100 mg three times daily. Darkening is obvious within 2–4 months of starting treatment. Even if it does'nt reverse the already white hairs into black, it can definitely arrest further progress. Topical 5% Melitane is also claimed to reverse and arrest further premature graying of hair. Therefore I would advice that you visit a dermatologist and discuss regarding various treatment modalities and get a prescription. 2) Regarding curls, it is natural thing. One cannot get rid of the curls permanently but one can go in for chemical straightening/hair relaxing of the hair length. However, the new hair that grows will be curly in nature. Biotin, l-cysteine, methionine and certain minerals and vitamin combinations are available in oral tablets and capsules form(Proanagen is marketed by curatio in india) and are considered to be good for improving hair quality and texture. Follihair tablets are also basically hair supplements and contain multiple ingredients like Biotin, Iron, Calcium pantothenate etc. They are helpful in controlling hair fall and help to restore good hair health. However they need to be taken for at least 4-6 months at a stretch. The action is slow, therefore don't expect immediate results. It is advisable to take them for a good 1-2 months to judge whether they are going to be effective Or not. regards
