Premature Greying
Premature greying refers to the loss of hair colour before the age of 25 in Asians. While genetics play a major role, nutritional deficiencies and certain medical conditions can contribute.
Signs and symptoms
Premature Greying commonly presents with the following signs. Not every patient shows all of them — an in-person examination by a dermatologist is what confirms the diagnosis.
Premature Greying of Hair
Loss of hair colour before the age of 25 in Asians, presenting as white or grey strands appearing progressively.
Affected area: scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes
Treatment approach
We evaluate for underlying causes — nutritional deficiencies (B12, iron, copper), thyroid disorders, and autoimmune conditions. Treatment addresses the root cause through supplements, diet modification, and topical agents where appropriate.
Common questions
Can premature grey hair turn black again?
Usually not. Once a follicle stops producing pigment the hair it grows stays white, and no medicine reliably restarts it. Where greying is linked to a deficiency — vitamin B12, iron or thyroid problems are the ones worth testing for — correcting that deficiency can slow further greying and is worth doing for your general health regardless. We would rather tell you this plainly than sell an expensive course for an outcome we cannot deliver.
