Gray hair is caused due to a variety of conditions. The food you consume, your family history as well as vitamin deficiencies can aggravate it.

Taking supplements with vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid may help controlling graying of hair. Vitamin E, an antioxidant if taken in appropriate amount has been found to be useful in controlling the process of ageing.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
