Reverse Hair Greying – Turn White Hair to Black

by

  • Medical & Dietary Treatments:

    1. Increase Vitamin B12 & Iron Intake

    • Foods: Eggs, dairy, leafy greens, fish, and fortified cereals.
    • Deficiency in B12 can lead to premature greying.

    2. Supplement with Biotin & Folic Acid

    • Helps promote hair pigment production and overall hair health.

    3. Reduce Stress

    • Practice yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises to lower oxidative stress.

    4. Use Natural Hair Dyes

    • Avoid chemical dyes; try herbal dyes like henna and indigo for a natural color boost.

    Dermatologist & Cosmetic Treatments for Grey Hair

    1. Topical Melanin-Stimulating Treatments (Experimental)

    • Some newer topical solutions are being developed to reactivate melanin production in hair follicles.
    • Example: Melitane™ (a peptide that boosts melanin) – still under research and not widely available.

    2. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

    • A non-invasive treatment that stimulates hair follicles and may delay or reduce greying.
    • Often used in clinic-based laser caps or combs.

    3. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for Scalp

    • Involves injecting platelets from your blood into the scalp to rejuvenate hair follicles.
    • May help improve pigment production and overall hair quality, though not a direct grey-reversing treatment.

    4. Microneedling with Peptides or Serums

    • Improves scalp health and can be paired with topical agents that may enhance pigmentation.
    • Often done in clinics or recommended by dermatologists.

    5. Hair Dyes with Low Chemical Load

    • Dermatologists recommend ammonia-free or PPD-free dyes to avoid scalp irritation.

    6. UV-Protective Hair Serums or Sprays

    • Dermatologists may suggest UV blockers for hair, as UV damage accelerates greying.

    7. Hormonal or Nutritional Screening

    • A dermatologist might test for thyroid issues, vitamin B12 deficiency, or anemia, which can cause premature greying.
    • You might be prescribed supplements or hormonal treatments accordingly.

    📝 Consult a Dermatologist If:

    • You’re under 25 and experiencing rapid greying.
    • There’s a family history of premature greying.
    • You suspect an underlying medical condition.
