I am worried about my hair turning gray at an early age. What is reason.Suggest!


Question:

Answers:
Typically it is just genetics. Did others in your family (parents, grandparents) have early greying?

Unfortuntately, the genetics of gray hair are not well understood. Hair coloring is due to the production of melanin by melanocytes in hair follicles. For reasons that are not yet entirely clear, as we age the amount of melanin producted by these cells decreases and hair turns gray
and then white. While the age of onset of gray hair varies tremendously most people start to show some gray hair in their 30s.

Timing and rate of graying do appear to have a genetic component but most likly involve muliple genes on different chromosomes rather tan a single gene.

The evidence for a genetic component is also found in families in which multiple members have premature graying (teens or early 20s) and in specific genetic syndromes such as progeria or Brooks syndrome which characteristically include premature gray hair.

There has been some association with early grey and smoking. Do you smoke? If so, stop. Will make your skin less wrinkled, as well!

I think that Grecian Formula works very well at returning your hair color. Have to keep using it, but it works well.
