Premature Gray Hair

I suppose one could class Premature Gray hair as going Gray in your early 20’s. As there are actually many people that do actually go Gray at this age one could argue that going gray prematurely could actually even be younger.

We say its premature as most people will only start going Gray in their late 30’s and early 40’s. These age bands do vary but the common factor is as we age the cells in our hair follicles called Melanocytes stop generating the pigment which gives our hair its color. As we age the generating strength of the Melanocytes gets weaker and weaker making out hair slowly lose its color until it no longer has any pigment and actually ends up transparent. This contrast of transparent hair against out darker hair gives the Gray appearance. The hair follicle itself is not Gray in color.

Taking 15 mg of zinc along with 1 mg of copper each day may possibly help to prevent or delay the onset of Gray hair. Other nutrients that seem to help the hair retain its color include vitamin B5, biotin and folic acid. Some B-complex supplements contain these nutrients, and it may help you to take such a supplement each day.
