It's quite straight forward. Your hair turns gray when the pigment-producing cells in your hair follicles slow down or stop working. For most people that happens gradually with age. But some notice it much earlier.
But is it just because of "bad" genes? No.
Genetics plays a role, but nutrient deficiencies can play a role too.
That's because the cells responsible for hair color depend on specific nutrients to function properly. Without them, they can't keep up with pigment production. And that's when you start noticing gray hair.
The nutrients most connected to premature graying are B12, vitamin D, biotin, folate, and vitamin E. Simply because your hair follicles need these to keep melanin production running.
So, if you're noticing gray hair earlier than you expected, check that you're getting enough of these. Sometimes fixing a deficiency can slow it down or even partially reverse it.
I feel like a lot of people don't realize the connection between premature graying and nutrients, so I'm going to cover it in more detail in future reels.
I'm curious to know, did any of you manage to reverse graying by fixing a deficiency you had?
