✨Causes of Premature Gray Hair:
- Genetics – Family history is the most common reason for early graying.
- Vitamin Deficiencies – Lack of vitamins B12, D, E, and iron can affect hair pigmentation.
- Oxidative Stress – Free radicals can damage melanin-producing cells in the hair.
- Medical Conditions – Thyroid disorders, vitiligo, and autoimmune diseases may lead to early graying.
- Unhealthy Lifestyle – Smoking, stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep can accelerate graying.

✨Treatment Options:
- Vitamin Supplements – Correcting deficiencies, especially B12 and D, may slow down the process.
- Topical Treatments – Some natural oils like coconut oil, curry leaves oil, and amla oil are believed to support melanin production.
- Medical Treatments – In rare cases, dermatologists may prescribe treatments based on underlying conditions.
- Healthy Diet – A diet rich in antioxidants, proteins, and vitamins can support overall hair health.
