Male pattern baldness and premature hair greying at 26 years can be influenced by a combination of nutritional deficiencies, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Your reports show severely low Vitamin B12 (82) and low Vitamin D (13), both of which play an important role in hair follicle health, pigment production, and scalp circulation. Possible causes: - Vitamin B12 deficiency: Can lead to hair thinning, premature greying, fatigue, and poor oxygen delivery to hair roots. - Vitamin D deficiency: Affects hair follicle cycling and may worsen hair fall. - Genetic predisposition: Male pattern baldness is often hereditary and may progress faster when deficiencies are present. - Chronic stress, irregular sleep, and poor nutrient absorption can accelerate both hair loss and greying. - Dietary and lifestyle focus: Include adequate high-quality protein, B12-rich foods (eggs, dairy, fish), iron-rich foods, and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables. Ensure daily sunlight exposure for vitamin D activation. Maintain regular sleep, manage stress, and avoid crash dieting.

It might be due to low metabolic rate and low absorption level. At this age you can easily get rid rid of the problem. Get the vata ( body heat level) level checked and go accordingly
