Graying Hair :
Achromotrichia, commonly called graying or whitening of hair, is a natural aging process where hair turns gray due to the loss of melanin pigment from the hair follicles. It is caused due to the natural process of aging, loss of pigment, genetics, thyroid disorder, and other factors like vitamin deficiencies, health disorders, and stress. There is no permanent reversal or prevention for the condition. Stress management, reducing smoking, having a good amount of sleep, a balanced diet, and supplementation can help maintain hair health, thereby reducing hair shedding and delaying graying. Gray hair can be managed by covering it using a dye that includes natural dyes, which are gentle on the scalp but quickly fade and need frequent touch ups, and synthetic dyes that are long lasting but may irritate the skin and cause allergies. Hence a certified dermatologist or trichologist consultation is recommended for the management of the condition without any complications.
