Causes of premature graying –
When hair turns gray, it means that the amount of melanin in the body decreases.
According to trichologist Denis Barbinov, early graying can be justified by genetics. If a person’s relatives turn gray early, then this feature can be transferred to him.
The second reason is a malfunction of the thyroid gland, which regulates the work of melanocytes. Any changes in the body can lead to a decrease in the level of melanin. This provokes gray hair in young adults.
As the trichologist added, premature graying may be due to an autoimmune disease. For example, if a patient has an intolerance to gluten, he will begin to not only gray, but also alopecia.
According to the doctor, most often a lack of vitamins, prolonged stress and taking medications cause the appearance of gray hair in 20-30 years.
