hair growth
Hair growth occurs when old cells are pushed out by the hair follicle due to the production of new cells. It occurs in three phases—growth (anagen), termination (catagen), and rest (telogen). During the resting period, your hair reaches its lifespan and falls out, and a new strand grows in its place.
hair pigmentation
When your hair grows, pigments are injected into it that give it its colour. With age, the amount of pigment injected into each strand of hair decreases, which is why it turns gray and eventually white.
Or
Hair is naturally colored by a pigment called melanin, which is released by specialized cells called melanocytes. As you age, the hair shaft and your hair follicles begin to degenerate. Over time, the number of melanocytes decreases or they stop working as effectively as before – and that’s when you start to see signs of “greying”. But there can be many reasons and risk factors for premature graying of hair.
due to gray hair
1. Lack of melanin
In most cases, lack of melanin is the main reason for graying of hair. The production of melanin depends on proper nutrition and protein supplements. Deficiency of these nutrients causes melanin to drop below acceptable levels.
2. Genetics
The tendency to gray early may be coded into your DNA. And in a study conducted on 6,000 Latin Americans, scientists recently identified the gene – IRF4.
3. Hormones
Your hormones have a huge impact on the pigmentation of your hair. Your hair may turn gray due to an imbalance.
For example
a) Thyroid Disease: An underactive or overactive thyroid can affect the melanin production in the hair which can lead to premature greying.
b) vitiligo, etc.
4. Nutrient Deficiency
Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, copper and iron can all discolor your hair.
Deficiencies can occur because you are not getting enough of these nutrients through diet (or sunlight in the case of D) or because you have an underlying condition that hinders their absorption – for example, Reduced stomach acid reduces B12 absorption.
lifestyle modification
Smoking :-
Smoking is one of the sources of free radicals development in your body, which causes oxidative stress.
This can lead to a reduction in pigmentation efficiency and melanin, resulting in graying of hair.
Defective diet: –
Consumption of junk food and processed food can lead to increased oxidative stress and accumulation of advanced glycation end products. This accelerates old age.
Lifestyle plays an important role in one’s life. It’s about your presence. Graying of hair is a sign of aging irrespective of your actual age. Of course, if it is due to genetic factors, one cannot help but experience it. However, other factors are avoidable and treatable. All you have to do is eat right, sleep well and avoid unwanted habits.

fruits and vegetables
orange:
Oranges can be consumed in the form of juice or can be used in the form of a paste. The citrus in oranges may help increase the production of the melanin pigment.
Lemon:
Lime is rich in citric acid and can be used as an anti-oxidant. Applying lemon juice can reduce dandruff and reverse graying of hair. The powder of dried lemon seeds can also be used in the form of a paste. Alternatively, dry lime or lemon powder can also be used.
Ginger:
Regular consumption of ginger powder with honey is helpful in providing Vitamin C to the body. However, pregnant women and people suffering from kidney disease should not consume ginger without the advice of their doctor.
Apple: This fruit is rich in vitamins, minerals and proteins. Regular consumption of apples in the form of fresh fruit or juice can help in slowing down the graying process.
Pineapple:
Pineapple also helps in increasing the production of melanin pigment and acts as a source of enhancing vitamins for mobilizing the pigment for hair growth.
