http://Dearest Dr Shikha,
I’m 19 belong to Pakistan.. I’m dealing with premature grey hair although there’s no grey hair in our genetics like all my brother’s having pure black hair. And I also got rough hair. So, needed some guidance to cure this.
Best Regards,
Hamza

Greying of hair is caused when cells at the hair base (melanocytes) stop producing the pigment which is responsible for giving our hair its colour. To continue making the colour-producing pigment, the cells need Vitamin B12.
In some cases, premature greying occurs if there’s a deficiency of Vitamin B12. You cannot possibly get healthy skin and shiny hair if you lack nutrition. A diet deficient in vitamins and minerals can lead to early greying. Premature greying has also been linked to medical conditions such as thyroid disorders and anaemia. Include Antioxidant-rich foods: Fresh fruits and vegetables, amla, green tea, olive oil, fish, flaxseeds etc.
For Vitamin B12- include seafood, eggs, and meats are good sources of vitamin B-12, and milk, salmon, and cheese are excellent sources of vitamin D. Massage your hair with coconut/ olive oil with curry leaves added to it. Reduce tea/coffee/smoking and alcohol. Practise pranayama daily.
