I am in my late 20s and have noticed strands of grey hair all of a sudden, is there a quick fix to this and a way to control growth of grey hair?
The appearance of grey hair is undoubtedly disturbing but this may also infer on how we are coping with our daily lives. Nevertheless, there are certain fixes that you could opt for right away, but also make it a point to be cautious henceforth.
Immediate solution: The first and the most urgent solution to graying hair is to apply a suitable hair dye colour. Amonia-free hair dyes are widely available from various brands but if you don’t want to use a chemical based hair dye, Ayurvedic and natural hair dyes are a better option.
Lifestyle habits that could be altered: Cutting down on smoking helps reduce the effects of ageing vastly. It has been proven scientifically that smoking causes unnecessary premature ageing. If this habit is in check, circulation is further improved and hence reduces the greys. Incorporate amla in your daily diet. Amla is known to be an age old remedy for reducing grey hair. Amla juice or the intake of amla itself can help control grey/white hair growth. Grey hair is also the result of a lack of copper in the body. To this end it may be a good idea to increase your intake of pineapples, blackberries, pomegranates, almonds and pumpkin seeds.
Don’t forget to stay hydrated with a high water intake and keep away from excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption. It is essential for you to pay heed to your diet; spicy, acidic and fried foods tend to cause a loss of moisture in the body, which prevents the nutrients from reaching the hair follicles and may hence turn the hair grey.
With our current lifestyle, we often lack time for ourselves and overlook our health and lifestyle habits. Graying hair can be seen as a warning sign for nutritional deficiencies and negligence with our health.
