Brief Answer:
Melitane gel

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Premature graying of hair occurs when the hair follicle is permanently exhausted of melanin (Pigment responsible for color of skin and hair).
Many factors like UV rays, Pollution, malnutrition, Chemical treatment of hair ( perming, coloring, etc) can predispose to premature greying.
As of now very limited options are available that works for premature greying.
I would suggest daily application of gel containing Melitane for atleast 6 months over affected areas. Melitane is a new molecule that has shown to reverse greying of hair.
Also, Take tablet containing biotin calcium pantothenate, PABA as essential ingredients for atleast 6 months. This tablet will additionally target your hairfall.
Use gentle shampoo for regular rinsing of hair.
Use a good hair serum with UV protection in day time to prevent damage from sun and pollution.
Let me know if you need any more assistance from my side.
Thanks
