Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Greying of hair occurs when the melanin of a particular hair follicle is permanently exhausted.Premature greying of hair is attributed to many factors like diet,nutrition, UV rays, pollution, cosmetics/dyes/colors, genetics, medications etc.
Treatment of grey hair is pretty challenging and results are not very encouraging.
I would advise you biotin and calcium pantothenate combination tablets for atleast 6-8 months.
Apply Altris gel containing Melitane, which is a new compound that has shown good results in premature greying of hair.
Also, a novel hair sunscreen cum hair serum Q sera black has shown good results in prevention of hair damage from sun and pollution.
Use gentle shampoo and conditioner for regular hair wash.
Use coconut oil twice a week for scalp nourishment.
Drink plenty of water and take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet Try to de-stress your lifestyle and indulge into regular exercise.
Try to limit your smoking and alchohol intake.
I am sure this will take care of your issue.
Thank you
