    I am 19 years old, at this age m having 25% of my hairs white n hair damage. it was since I was 15 n the problem is growing even more. i used 2 live in a cold region till 15 but later I had 2 live in a very hot temperature region. Is it due to this unfavorable climatic change? If I say it is due to heredity, my parents have not much white hairs/damaged hairs even they are above 45, like m having. . I also took, n m taking lots of precautions, putting coconut hair oil with lime juice on my hair, having extra vitamin capsules twice a day. But it is of no use. My hairs are growing much weaker and white.

    And I am now coloring my hair, every week. But it is damaging my hair, these chemicals are harmful too, most of the peoples suffer from heavy rashes on their face, head or entire body skins, become seriously I’ll after putting this.

    What precautions do I have to take? What sorts of diet do I have to maintain? Nowadays why teenagers are facing this problem?? Is there any medications, or hair products for my whitened, damaged hair which can again maintain it back to normal??

    Hair turns white when melanin pigment ceases to be manufactured in the hair roots. Melanin is the pigment, giving color to the skin and the hair.
    Graying of hair is also determined genetically. Children with low immunity, those having low protein deficiency can also have grey hair.

    I would suggest the best natural way to prevent premature grey hair in young people, is to do Yoga which includes rubbing finger nails together 4 + 4 you will see results within 3 months or later, it is required to do it 5 mins in the morning and 5 min before you go to sleep.

    Apply dried gooseberries mixed with coconut oil on the scalp.
    Yogurt and yeast helps to lessen the grey hairs.
    Chebulic myroblan fruit paste boiled in oil and used on the hairs acts as a vitalizer.
    Chebulic myroblan is also used as a rinse to blacken the hairs.

    100% certain to work my friend, trust me

    Get some Molasses preferably blackstrap Molasses from a health shop (these are about £1 a jar, very cheap). These are natural from sugar canes, very rich in iron copper etc.
    Do some internet research and you will find that it has 88 differnt types of minerals and good stuff in it.
    It is very thick and gooy and very sweet but you will see the differnce within a week, it really kicks in at around 3 weeks.
    Add to cereals or in water like i do just take it straight down (2 tablespoons of it)…this works amazingly well.. it worked really well for me
    Good luck
