How To Stop Gray Hairs At Young Age

Published

on

​Many people start growing gray hairs at very young age and they keep finding ways to stop it or at least reduce the rate. Most at times it nature and hereditary that cause this but we equally have several other factors.  Aside from having age spots, wrinkles, deep-seated laugh lines, crowfeet beside the eyes and other visible marks on the skin, graying hair is another inevitable part of the aging process. For the skin, there are anti-ageing serums that you can use, as well as surgical and non-surgical procedures that you can undergo to counteract the effects of ageing. But what about for the hair?

If you don’t want people to think you are actually old then I guess this topic will be of great help to you , so how can you prevent it from showing? Take a look at the following quick tips (put together after research on wikihow and Fitness and Beauty Tips Network)  that helps reverse gray hair issues:

1. A change of hair color or hair style.

Visit a salon and ask about your hair coloring options. If a major portion is affected, then you can try a new style or hair cut so that you can look younger. You can also buy a hair coloring kit if you want to cover your gray hair right in the comfort of your own home. Finally, if the distribution of gray hair is uneven – or if your hair color turns out to be darker and duller due to aging, then you can use highlights to bring the youth and luster back to your mane.

However, do bear in mind that it is best to choose a color dye closest to your original shade, as this will suit your skin tone and look the most natural. This can look extremely glamorous with a good cut to suit the shape of the face, and removes the need to worry about frequent trips to the salon to touch up those roots!

2 Massage with egg oil. 

Massage your scalp twice a week with egg oil and leave it on overnight. Egg oil contains anti-oxidant xanthophylls like lutein and zeaxanthin which arrest premature aging (graying) of hair and even reverses early stage grey hair. A tip for leaving it overnight is to cover your bed with a plastic sheet; it may be uncomfortable but it saves a ton of time when you want to clean your bed!
3. Use gray hair shampoo.

Use of emu oil shampoo is suggested since it is loaded with the much needed omega 3’s and nutrition to help with gray hair issues. Emu oil shampoo works great for many different problems including dry hair that comes with age and with too many chemicals in the hair.

4. Treat graying hair with essential vitamins & Omegas.

You need to include a lot of foods with vitamin B12, Folic Acid, and Omega 3 to your diet. These three components are effective in fighting against graying hair. Take them as a supplement or look for foods rich in these nutrients and include them in you diet until you get your diet back on track. The hair vitamins work for so many different hair related problems as well as faster hair growth. The Omega 3 will help your hair grow stronger, since it will become brittle with age. Vitamin B12, on the other hand, helps retain your hair’s original color – and a vitamin B supplement is also a good stress reliever.

Consider taking multivitamin supplements if you’re concerned about going gray too early. Taking supplements isn’t a magic potion guaranteed to keep your hair colorful, but it may give you a little extra time before it turns gray.

Vegans are more likely to have a B12 deficiency because it’s hard to get enough B12 through food other than animal products. Vegans should pay special attention to their B12 intake, through supplementation if necessary. Vegetarians can get B12 from milk and egg products.

5.Avoid devitalising foods, soft drinks etc

Devitalising foods such as white flour, refined sugar and all products made from them, soft drinks, pastries, jams and jellies should be avoided. These foods take away energy, cause wrinkles, unattractive skin, grey hair, and premature old age.

6. Reduce stress

There is no perfect solution to prevent stress-related gray hair, but of course, general stress reduction can help.

7. Quit smoking & exercise

If you smoke, try to quit or at least cut back. Get plenty of exercise and eat a well-balanced diet with plenty of anti-oxidant loaded vegetables and fruits. Anti-oxidants are nutrients which fight damage to our cells by chemicals known as free radicals; several studies indicate they may prevent cancer and they may also help prevent premature aging.

8. Adequate Sleep

Along with exercise and diet, be sure to get adequate sleep. Take time during the day to simply unwind and get your mind off your problems. Make time for activities you enjoy.

9. Positive Attitude

Above all cultivate a youthful, positive attitude. A positive attitude is a great buffer against life’s stresses, including stress-related gray hair.
10. Try other natural remedies 

To keep your hair vibrant, Try other natural remedies . While there are no conclusive studies to show that natural supplements can prevent gray hair, there are several remedies popular in India and other areas that are said to stop it in its tracks. If you decide to add a supplement to your daily diet, consult with a doctor or nutritionist first to make sure it’s a healthy choice for you. Here are some popular options:

Blackstrap molasses

Black sesame

Chlorophyll supplements

Nettle leaf

Seaweed

Amla (an ayurvedic herb)
Below are Myths About Gray Hair you should equally know 

Don’t get anxious about your stress . Probably the most popular myth about gray hair is that it starts growing in more quickly when you’re stressed. You’ve probably heard harried parents say “You’re going to give me gray hair!” to their misbehaving children a million times. The truth is, stress itself does not cause hair to grow in gray, so you can stop worrying that your job, family, lack of sleep and other issues are going to sap away your gorgeous color.

However, if you’re so stressed out that your hair is actually falling out, that’s cause for concern, since when your hair grows back in it could be lighter in pigment. If you’re that stressed out, it’s time to take measures to get some help. Consider talking to a therapist, meditation , and other practices that will help you feel happy and healthy again.

Forget the idea that plucking a gray hair will cause multiple grays to sprout. That’s an old wives’ tale that has no factual basis. If you have a prominent gray hair and it annoys you every time you notice it, feel free to pluck it out without worrying that you’ll cause a mini explosion of grays.

However, plucking grays isn’t a great long-term solution. Firstly, when you pluck, you can damage the hair follicle and prevent hairs from growing back. Secondly, the plucked follicle is gray and will always be gray; it won’t come back in your other color. And thirdly, eventually you’ll have too many to pluck, so you’ll need to find a better solution.

Set aside your worries about dyeing your hair turning it gray. If you went through a long phase of dyeing your hair every color under the sun, you might have had someone tell you that dyeing your hair turns it gray prematurely. This isn’t true at all, so cast your worries aside. However, excessive dyeing and bleaching can damage hair, which can cause it to fall out and grow back in a lighter pigment.

Feel free to let your hair get some sun. The sun will lighten your hair, but it doesn’t make your hair turn gray. Hair turns gray naturally due to the loss of melanin, which gives hair its pigment. Outside factors like sun exposure don’t make a difference when it comes to grayness.
