Premature greying refers to the progressive, naturally irreversible change in hair color. It features the appearance of salt-and-pepper hair, the silvery strands before the expected age, typically before the age of 20-30. It is one of the concerns identified and addressed by a cosmetic dermatologist or a trichologist.
The signs of premature greying include:
The natural hair color of a person is determined by the amount and type of melanin pigment present at the hair shaft. Melanin is a colored pigment produced by specialized cells called melanocytes, seated at the base of the hair follicle.
It comes in two forms: Eumelanin and Pheomelanin. Eumelanin is a darker pigment than the reddish pheomelanin pigment. When melanocytes produce more eumelanin, the natural hair is brown or black, and when pheomelanin, the natural hair is ginger or strawberry blond.
With aging, fewer melanocytes are available and so there is less melanin production. When the melanin gets replaced with air bubbles, the hair turns grey. You can get more details on the cause by consulting the Best Doctors for Greying Hair Treatment in Delhi at DMC Trichology.

A lifestyle change is a must.

Prevention or delaying of premature greying is not possible if it’s genetically induced. But, for other causes, some preventive measures include:
You should be following a proper hair care routine, which should include:
When melanocytes just above the hair papilla stop producing enough melanin, the hair cannot restore its natural color, it becomes permanently grey. Grey hair is not curable and not reversible if it's genetically induced. There are ways to temporarily reverse grey hair and arrest the progression till the typical physiological age of greying.
Premature greying mostly is found on the scalp but the condition can even affect hair on the face or other body sites.
Premature greying usually doesn’t affect hair texture but the grey hair may feel coarser and wiry.
Some home remedies that can help slow down hair greying without causing any harm include curry leaves, Indian gooseberry, bhringaraj, black tea, wheatgrass juice, and ghee. But they cannot reverse premature greying.
It's not advisable, as grey hair will come back and there will even be pain, discomfort, and risk of folliculitis.
The age when hair greying happens is variable with race. Typically, white people's hair goes grey in their mid-30s; Asians in their late 30’s; and Black people start having grey hair in their mid-40s.
