Many young people are worried about finding grey hairs in their hair.

Let's find out together why gray hair appears earlier than expected.

Genetics

If your parents' hair went gray prematurely, then you will most likely also have to deal with premature graying.

Stress

Another factor that influences the early appearance of gray hair is psychological stress, high levels of which lead to accelerated release of adrenaline, which, in turn, affects melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color.

Nutrient deficiency

If your body lacks vitamins A, B, C, D, E, as well as iron, zinc and protein, the likelihood of premature graying increases.
