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.

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.
