Causes of Premature Graying Hair!!!

Most of us find grey hair peeping our one fine day. For some people finding grey hair could be quite okay for them and some people it is thought about what could be the reason to bring this sign of aging. Once a upon a time grey hair was related to a person’s age and was treated as a sign of becoming old. Gray’s would be seen for some people during their forties and for some even later. But today things are quite different. Some people find their first grey hair during their twenties and thirties and some of them find it during their teens.

According to the trend you would be lucky if you are in you thirties and you still do not have a single grey hair.  Our hair follicles produces a pigment called the melanin which is responsible for giving our hair the natural color it has. If our hair follicle produces more melanin then our hair will be even darker. If the hair follicles produce less melanin then the color of the hair would be lighter in other words your hair would turn grey.  If the melanin decreases at very early age then we land up in premature graying of hair.

Cause of Premature Graying of hair: 

There are many reasons why we get premature gray hair. Here are a few reasons why we get premature grays.

Genetic:

This is one reason which you could hold your parents responsible and they in turn could blame their parents. It is proved by scientists that premature graying of hair is mainly a genetic problem. In case your parents had the same experience and had grays at an early age then there are a lot of chances of you facing the same problem.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency:

Another main reason for getting premature grey hair is because of the deficiency of Vitamin B12. If we lack in Vitamin B12 then this would be lead to early graying of hair. Because of this deficiency grey hair is seen at an early age.

Thyroid and other Health problems:

If you detected a major sickness or you are suffering from some health problems for quite some time then there are chances of you getting premature grey hair. People suffering from thyroid  also have the probability of getting grey hair at an early age. 

Lack of Nutrition:

Being fit is nothing but eating healthy and the right food. What we consume is finally what we notice on our skin, hair and our health. The correct type of diet will give all the necessary nutrients our body requires to function. If we are healthy that will show up on our hair and premature graying would be delayed.

Stress:

Stress  is something that is not completely supported by science. But we all aware that the more we are stressed the chances of getting early grey hair is more. People who have a stressful life or people who take unnecessary stress signs of hair graying early are more. These people can start graying much before the age their hair is supposed to become grey.

 

Smoking:

If you are a person who is smoking and not yet stopped smoking,  then it high time you thought about it. Researches have proved that people who smoke have greater chances of getting premature grey hair than people who do not smoke. Every time we see a new grey it is quite annoying am I right. But you help it premature graying is genetic or it is because of health problems. But for the other cause of premature graying you can surely postpone it but taking care of your health properly and living happily.

Hope this article was useful to you and by now you would have realized why your hair is graying early.
