REASONS FOR WHITEN HAIR AND WAYS TO PREVENT IT
Hair whitening, which is considered one of the visible signs of aging, can sometimes occur at a very early age. So if you think you’re the only one whose hair started to turn white at a young age, you’re wrong. Early bleaching of hair is a fairly common problem, and as disturbing as it is, it can be a sign of another underlying problem! How about learning the causes that whiten your hair at a young age and what you need to do to prevent this condition? If you’re ready, we’ll start explaining.
1- Experiencing vitamin B12 deficiency
According to experts, the biggest cause that leads to bleaching of hair at a young age is a deficiency of vitamin B12.
This deficiency can also cause thinning and hair loss.
To avoid this, include foods such as eggs, veal, tuna and salmon in your diet. You can also supplement B12 by consulting a specialist if necessary.
2- Problems with thyroid function
Studies have shown that thyroid problems affect hair from Root to tip.
If you are having problems with whitening, breaking, or greasing your hair, it may be because your thyroid does not work well enough.
3- Consume more junk food instead of healthy foods
Not eating healthy can also cause your hair to whiten early.
A variety of studies on this subject confirm that a deficiency of ferritin, calcium, vitamin D, copper, zinc and iron can lead to this problem.
4- Experience constant stress and anxiety
Being stressed and anxious affects the stem cells responsible for the regeneration of your hair, leading to premature bleaching in your hair.
5- Being genetically predisposed
Yes, your white hair may have been inherited from your parents or grandparents.
According to dermatologists, our genetic codes have a big role in determining when our hair will turn white.
So if someone in your family has gray hair at an early age, you’re more likely to experience the same thing.
6- Use chemical hair products and harmful dyes
Most hair products, from shampoos to hair dyes, can cause hair whitening.
The harmful chemicals contained in these products reduce the level of melanin, which leads to your hair losing its natural color.
7- Ways to prevent hair whitening seen at age 13
Protect your hair from the harmful effects of the sun. If possible, use a hat or similar parts when you go out.
Stay as far away from curling irons and hair dryers as possible. Comb your hair using a wide hair brush.
Massage your hair regularly with coconut oil.
Add cabbage, almonds, carrot juice and broccoli to your daily diet.
