Expert Care for Grey Hair & Premature Greying
Understanding Grey Hair
What Causes Grey Hair?
Natural Ageing
With age, melanin production reduces. This is one of the most common reasons for grey hair.
Genetics
If your parents or close family members had early grey hair, you may also develop premature greying.
Reduced Melanin Production
When melanocytes slow down or stop producing pigment, hair gradually loses its natural colour.
Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress can affect hair follicle health and may contribute to early greying in some people.
Lifestyle Factors
Poor diet, lack of sleep, high stress, smoking, and exposure to pollution may affect overall hair health.
Medical & Nutritional Causes
Premature greying may sometimes be associated with vitamin B12, iron, copper, or folate deficiencies, thyroid disorders, and certain autoimmune conditions, where clinically relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about grey hair, premature greying, causes, prevention, nutrition, and hair colouring.
01 Can grey hair turn black again?
In most age-related or genetic cases, grey hair may not naturally turn black again. If greying is linked to a correctable deficiency or medical issue, treatment may help support healthier hair, but results vary.
02 Is premature greying hereditary?
Yes, family history is one of the most common factors. If your parents or close relatives had early grey hair, you may also be more likely to experience premature greying.
03 Does stress cause grey hair?
Stress may contribute to oxidative stress and overall hair health changes. It may not be the only cause, but chronic stress can be one of the factors linked with premature greying.
04 Is grey hair permanent?
Age-related and genetic grey hair is usually long-term. In some cases where greying is related to nutritional deficiency or medical conditions, addressing the cause may help improve hair health. Reversal is not guaranteed.
05 Can grey hair be prevented?
Natural greying due to ageing cannot be prevented. However, a healthy diet, avoiding smoking, managing stress, protecting hair from damage, and correcting deficiencies may help reduce the risk of premature greying.
06 What foods help maintain healthy hair?
Foods rich in Vitamin B12, iron, copper, folate, protein, and antioxidants support healthy hair. Include eggs, dairy, legumes, nuts, seeds, leafy vegetables, fruits, and protein-rich foods as part of a balanced diet.
07 Does smoking increase grey hair?
Smoking may contribute to oxidative stress and poor hair health. It is considered one of the lifestyle factors that may increase the risk of premature greying.
08 Can thyroid disorders cause grey hair?
Thyroid disorders may affect hair health and, in some cases, may be associated with premature greying or hair texture changes. A thyroid test may be recommended if clinically needed.
09 Is hair colouring safe for grey hair?
Hair colouring can be safe when done properly, but frequent chemical colouring, bleaching, or harsh products may damage hair. If you have dry hair, brittle hair, scalp irritation, or dandruff, consult a specialist before using strong chemical treatments.
10 At what age is greying considered premature?
Greying may be considered premature when it starts much earlier than expected, especially during the teenage years, 20s, or early 30s. This can vary based on ethnicity, genetics, and family history.
