Premature Greying
Grey hair appearing earlier than expected for your age and background — sometimes genetic, sometimes a sign worth investigating further.
Common Signs
Grey or white hairs appearing well before the typical age for your family backgroundGreying that starts in an unusual pattern or progresses quicklySometimes accompanied by other changes in hair texture
Possible Causes
Genetics and family history are, by far, the most common factorNutritional deficiencies, including B12, folate, iron and copperThyroid conditions and certain autoimmune conditions, in some casesSmoking and chronic stress are associated with earlier greying
How Hairmantra Can Help
While genetics cannot be changed, it is worth ruling out the factors that can be — nutritional gaps and thyroid function in particular. Dr Padmaja can advise on relevant testing to discuss with your GP, and share nutrition and scalp-care strategies that support the overall health of your hair, even where some greying is simply genetic.
