Reverse Premature Grey White Hair

Typically, white people (caucasians) start going grey when they are in their mid-30s, but we Thais (Asians) are usually luckier in that aspect. Normally, Thais only start to see signs of greying when they are in their late 30s or after that. Hence, if you start to see your hair turning white or grey in your 20s, it will be considered as premature greying.

From a survey done at one of our outlets, the highest percentage of people with white hair issues are above 40. From another study in a mixed gender outlet, male customer, on average, start having white hair earlier than female customers by about 5 years. However, we note there is no minimum age, we have seen teenagers as young as 14 years old having streaks and streaks of white hair. A quick rule of thumb used is the 50:50:50 rule: By the age of 50, 50% of the population will have 50% grey hair.

The reason why your former black hair is turning grey or white is because the colour-producing cells have stopped producing the pigments that give it that rich and deep colour. Your hair follicles contain pigmentation cells, which are also called melanin. While these cells are tiny and might seem insignificant, they are responsible for giving our hair its natural colour. The higher melanin content generated by your hair follicles, the darker your hair will be. Conversely, the lower the melanin content that is generated by your hair follicles, the lighter the colour of your hair will be. Another possible reason is that naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide might have built up in your hair, causing it to be bleached.

There is no physical harm derived from having grey or white hair. You could have a perfectly healthy scalp but have loads of white hair. The texture of the white hair is, however, not the same as normal hair. Melanin supplies the hair with moisture, thus, the white hair has less bounce and looks “lifeless”. Yet, when a person, suffers from premature greying, it could affect the self-image of that person. This can be stressful and frightening for some and could even affect their confidence and psychological well-being. Most of the complications that arise from premature greying and white hair derives from how an individual deals with the white hair issue. If a person constantly covers her white hair using chemical dye, it damages her hair and may even harm the scalp if the chemical dye is not done correctly. We have seen customers with severe hair loss caused by chemical burns to the scalp! Our advice is: if you have to constantly cover your white hair, it would be best to opt for a natural dye like ours. Keeping your scalp healthy plus covering those white hair naturally!
