How to Get Rid of Gray Hair?

Gray hair is a common concern that many people face as they age.  It is often believed that graying hair can diminish one’s beauty and make them look older than they feel. In recent decades, some individuals have started graying at an earlier age than their parents and grandparents. It is not uncommon to see gray hairs in someone’s 20s or 30s.

White hair appearing at a younger age is also becoming more common. There are many reasons that cause hair to turn prematurely gray or white. The reasons that cause gray hair are the same as the reasons that cause white hair. The difference is that white hair has less pigment than gray hair.

The natural color of hair occurs due to the production of melanin released by specific cells known as melanocytes. As we age, the hair follicles and the hair shaft start to wear down. Slowly, the number of melanocytes diminishes, and their efficient functionality decreases spontaneously. This is why you may first discover a strand of gray or white hair on your head. Premature graying (or hair turning white) has many factors and causes that can be influenced to improve how you look and feel.

Causes of Premature Graying

  • It may be Genetic

There can be a genetic tendency behind the gray hair. The reason for premature graying can be determined by your DNA. Studies found that genes can be the most dominating factor giving rise to when gray or white hair first starts appearing. 

  • Nutritional Deficiencies

Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12, iron, and copper are pivotal nutrients that help your hair preserve its natural color for a longer period. Lack of these nutrients in your body will inhibit the systems of your body, and as a result, you will see the premature graying of hair. 

  • Smoking

Smoking can be a significant cause of the gray hair. Smoking makes you age faster, which includes premature greying of hair and wrinkling of skin. The reason can be the oxidative stress due to the free radicals, or it can happen due to the chemical impact of nicotine.  

  • Free Radicals

Oxidative stress can be the antagonist for the melanocytes. The causes of oxidative stress, which can cause free radicals, may include:

  • Radiation
  • Stress
  • Inflammation

These causes may give rise to free radicals. If your hair is exposed to sunlight for a long period this also causes your hair to stress. As the body starts to lose the natural antioxidant level over time, hydrogen peroxide gets collected around the roots of your hair. Hydrogen peroxide is considered a bleaching agent which acts as a factor in hair graying or becoming white.

Diet changes, stress changes, and using natural hair colors can help decrease the advancement of grey hair.

Like death and taxes, there is no known way of stopping grey hair other than dieing. Although grey hair can not be stopped, greying can be dimished or slowed down.

Although plucking out grey hairs may sound like a good idea, plucking hairs can damage the follicle, especially if it is repeated plucking. The damaged hair follicle can then stop producing new hairs leading to hair loss.

This is not actually settled science yet. There has been at least 1 study that has demonstrated that there can be a reversal of grey hair by analyzing individual hairs. Grey hair reversal has also been noted in individuals who are experiencing less stress and those have have recovered from illness. From the study"Rosenberg et al. report a new way to digitize and measure small changes in color along single human hairs. This method revealed that some white hairs naturally regain their color, something that had not been reported in a cohort of healthy individuals before. Aligning the hair pigmentation patterns with recent reports of stress in the hair donors’ lives showed striking associations. When one donor reported an increase in stress, a hair lost its pigment. When the donor reported a reduction in stress, the same hair regained its pigment."
