Extent of white hairs suggest serum/oil
I’m a 26-year-old male working night shifts in IT. Over the past few years, I’ve developed premature greying. I’m specifically looking for prescription-based or medically recommended hair oils or serums that can help: Control further greying Possibly restore natural black hair over time My goal is to improve hair health and reduce white hairs within the next 5–6 months. I live in a village area with no access to a hair specialist, so I need practical, proven options that are available online or over-the-counter.

Premature greying at 26, especially with night-shift work is extremely common. What you’re showing in the photos is early-stage greying, not irreversible mature greying. This is the stage where treatment is actually most effective if customised correctly. But let me be very clear about one thing: There is NO single oil or serum that reverses greying for everyone. Greying has multiple causes, and the treatment depends on which of these is affecting you: Melanocyte (pigment cell) fatigue Vitamin/mineral deficiencies Oxidative stress from night shifts Scalp micro-inflammation Genetic predisposition Lifestyle-related melatonin and cortisol imbalance Unless the exact cause is identified, products will feel useless and you’ll waste months. What you’re expecting is realistic BUT only with the right approach In your case, the goal is: 1. Stop further greying 2. Strengthen pigment cells 3. Slowly improve the density of black hair over months 4. Use options that are practical, affordable, and available online This can absolutely be done but not with random OTC products. These are scientifically supported strategies that help in 5–6 months: 1. Correcting internal deficiencies Greying is almost always accelerated by low: Vitamin B12 Ferritin Vitamin D Copper Folate You need to get these checked first. I can’t recommend supplements without understanding your levels. -2. Using the right anti-grey formulations There are ingredients that work But they must be prescribed only after evaluating scalp health, extent of greying, and sensitivity. Giving names here without assessing your case would be irresponsible and ineffective. 3. Scalp-care routine to protect melanocytes Certain oils/serums help pigment protection, but choosing the wrong one can worsen shedding or irritation. The right routine depends on: Your scalp type Your work schedule Stress level Current hair quality Again, needs individualisation. 4. Night-shift modifications Melatonin disruption directly accelerates greying. A structured correction plan is essential for people working night shifts. What you actually need A personalised anti-grey plan, not generic advice. Premature greying responds extremely well when the plan is customised. That includes: Blood test evaluation Scalp pattern analysis Selecting the correct serum Deciding if you need internal supplements Setting a 5–6 month protocol that fits your lifestyle I can help you with all this once I evaluate your case properly. If you'd like to move forward, you can book a consultation with me directly at nine three two six zero two zero five three six on WhatsApp, so I can design the exact treatment protocol for you.

Most likely not fully reversible — but you can slow further greying and sometimes get partial repigmentation if a treatable cause (like low ferritin or B12) is fixed. Start by correcting your low ferritin and borderline B12 — that gives you the best chance of improvement over months. � PMC +1 Quick practical plan (what actually helps): Fix iron + B12 first — get ferritin up (aim >50 ng/mL) and B12 into normal/high range; this can sometimes restore pigment. Take the ferrous-bisglycinate + methylcobalamin you were asking about (it’s fine) and recheck after 8–12 weeks. � PMC +1 Reduce obvious contributors: stop smoking, manage stress, improve sleep and diet (protein, copper, zinc, B-vitamins). These won’t guarantee reversal but help hair health. � MDPI Topical/clinic options — no widely proven drug reliably restores grey hair yet, but small reports and experimental options exist (so consider only if you accept uncertain results): topical palmitoyl-tetrapeptide-20 formulations (case reports of repigmentation), topical “pseudocatalase” in research settings, and low-level laser therapy are being studied. None are guaranteed. � PMC +2 If you want a visible result fast, use temporary/permanent hair dye or root-touch products while you treat deficiencies. How long to expect: If pigment is reversible (deficiency-related), you may see changes over 3–6 months as new hairs grow. If greying is genetic, you may only slow progression, not get full black hair back. � PMC If you want, I can: give a short, practical supplementation plan (doses and timing) based on your ferritin 10.9 and B12 281, or list a few accessible serums/devices (OTC) with notes on the evidence and where to buy online.
