#1. Understand your genes

Genetic built-up plays an important role in greying of hair. If someone’s family history points out to early greying signs then it is very likely that the younger generations too will be experiencing hair greying problems at an early age. A dermatological research has also concluded that while Caucasians start experiencing hair greying by early 30’s, the Africans and Asians begin facing greying problems from around late 30's to 40’s.

#2. Follow proper diet

Healthy lifestyle and proper diet is very important to tackle most of the hair related problems. Diets containing minerals and proteins help in increasing melanin pigments, which helps in preventing early greying of hair. Some of the melanin rich ingredients include iodine, ginger, honey, and iron. To prevent early signs of greying it is also important to include ingredients that are rich in vitamin B12 (eggs, cheese, fish, banana, etc.) in the diet.
