How to Deal With Premature Gray Hair

When most people think of going gray, they assume that they are going to be well into their 50s and 60s when their hair color changes. However, due partly to genetics, many people find that they prematurely go gray. There are ways you can deal with this annoying occurrence.

Instructions

1. Rule out any health conditions that could cause premature gray hair. Although most people go prematurely gray due to heredity, some medical problems, such as anemia, can make a person go gray.

2. Try an herbal remedy. Certain herbs have been found to reverse the effects of premature graying. Curry leaves and gooseberry are known to be particularly effective.

3. Pluck out the hairs. If you have a few gray hairs, you can remove them by plucking them out with tweezers.

4. Color your hair. The most common way that people deal with prematurely gray hair is to dye it. Ask your hair stylist for color recommendations and find out how often you should color your hair to cover the gray effectively.

5. Keep your hair short. Long, unruly hair that does not get trimmed often is going to look unbecoming on a person with gray hair.

6. Show it off. Some people decide to skip the entire process of covering up gray hair and wear their hair gray with pride. Look into hairstyles that flatter your new hair color.

Tips & Warnings

• It's a myth that if you pluck a gray hair out, 10 more are going to pop out in its place.
