You don't have to go grey! A leading expert reveals the secret to hanging on to your natural colour - with no dye needed

As we age, the appearance of grey hair can be a reminder of advancing years, but recent research offers hope in slowing this process. Here, we explore strategies to delay greying, focusing on lifestyle adjustments and nutritional considerations.

No smoking or vaping – they kill colour cells

Smoking and vaping accelerate greying by triggering oxidative stress, damaging melanin-producing cells in the scalp. Avoiding tobacco products is essential for preserving hair color.

Keep out of the sun to avoid UV damage

Excessive sun exposure causes oxidative stress, similar to smoking, damaging melanin-producing cells. Wearing hats outdoors and using antioxidant-rich conditioners can mitigate UV-related damage.

The essential vitamin that vegan diets lack

Vegans may lack vitamin B12, crucial for melanocyte regeneration. Supplementation or consuming B12-rich foods red meat, such as liver, can help delay greying, while iron supplements address potential deficiencies contributing to greying.

Stress is destroying your natural colour

Chronic stress can disrupt melanocyte function, leading to premature greying. Managing stress through relaxation activities reduces cortisol levels and minimizes its impact on hair color.

Get the blood flowing with a head massage

Scalp massage promotes blood flow to hair follicles and melanin-producing cells, potentially aiding hair growth and color retention. Consider using scalp massagers like the Manta Pulse for added benefits.

Suddenly greying? Get your thyroid checked

Rapid greying may indicate thyroid issues, as thyroxine levels affect melanin production. Consultation with a healthcare professional can diagnose and treat underlying thyroid conditions, potentially restoring hair color.

Country living may slow the process

Air pollution, akin to smoking, damages melanin-producing cells. Regular hair washing and antioxidant-rich conditioners can mitigate pollution-related damage, particularly for city dwellers.
