Why does hair turn white?

First of all, we need to know why hair turns white. The color of hair mainly comes from melanocytes. If melanocytes "strike", the hair will gradually lose color, become gray, and eventually become silver strands.

My hair turns gray at a young age. Is it related to genetics? There is indeed a relationship between

, but it is not absolute.

genes determine many of our characteristics, including hair color. If there is early gray hair in the family, then the probability of "less gray hair" in the offspring will indeed be higher. It's like a "family tradition," except that it's a bit of a headache.

However, genes are only one of the determining factors, not all.

Environmental factors, living habits, nutritional status, etc. will all affect the health of your hair. For example, long-term mental stress, lack of sleep, and unbalanced diet may accelerate the aging process of hair and cause gray hair to "report" in advance.

Other reasons why young people have gray hair

In addition to genetic factors, there are many reasons why young people have gray hair. For example, some chronic diseases (such as thyroid disease, anemia, etc.) may affect the production of melanin; the side effects of certain drugs (such as chemotherapy drugs) may also cause hair to turn gray; and frequent hair dyeing, perming and other chemical treatments, It can also cause damage to hair and accelerate the appearance of gray hair.

is white, can it be blackened again?

This is the issue that many young people are most concerned about. Unfortunately, once your hair turns gray, it is quite difficult to return it to black naturally. If you find that your hair is "white", it is best not to pull it out.
