It is a growing concern that today even kids as young as ten years old suffer from #Graying of #hair. It was a very rare phenomenon even a few years ago but it is increasing every day. #Stress.

Today even children are not out of bounds of #stress and hence #graying of #hair starts as early as in a ten year old. But to prevent #graying of #hair you have to know about it a little. Hence read on to know more.

Every #hair #follicle has #melanocytes, which are hair pigmentation producing cells. When a hair #strand grows out of a #hair #follicle, #melanocytes inject #melanin into the #strand that makes the #hair colored. Usually with age, the #melanocytes slowly stop producing the #melanin, thus making the hair #strands turn first #gray and then white. But due to some reasons like some kinds of illness or #stress or lack of proper #nutrition, the #melanocytes might stop producing enough #melanin before time. This is what causes #Premature Graying of hair.

The kind of illnesses that might cause #premature #graying of #hair includes #hyperthyroidism, #hormonal #imbalances, #hypothyroidism, #pernicious #anemia and so on. It can also be caused by excessive damage to the #hair that happens from the effect of using chemical #dyes frequently, keeping the #scalp unclean and effect of some high dosage drugs. Since the reasons of #premature #graying of #hair are varied, it is suggested that for treatment you consult a good #Trichologist first before trying anything for yourself. For one thing using dyes that contain #ammonia to color your hair would be a mistake that would further aggravate the problem. But unfortunately that is what most people do.

While there are many reasons that cause early #graying of #hair.

Major Causes for Premature Graying of Hair are:

1. #Pollution

2. Lack of proper Nutrition

3. #Hyperthyroidism

4. #Hormonal #Imbalances

5. #Hypothyroidism

6. #Pernicious #Anemia

7. Usage of #Chemical #Dyes

8. Keeping #Scalp Unclean

9. Consumption of some High Dosage Drugs

If you too are facing the problem of #premature #graying of #hair, make sure you consult a good #Trichologist to find out the reason behind the problem. Once the reason is clear it would be much easier to find a solution too. If the only option you have is to color your #hair, make sure you use a color that contains no #ammonia. Hence using something natural like the henna would be a good idea. And if you are fortunate to still have a mane of hair that has not started to gray yet, make sure you take proper care of it.
