POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy10 months agoA. Premature greying of hair in children can occur due to various reasons, including genetics, nutritional deficiencies, or medical conditions. Here’s how you can address it:
1. Identify the Cause:
Genetics: If early greying runs in the family, it might be hereditary.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of vitamins like B12, biotin, and minerals like copper or zinc can contribute.
Medical Conditions: Conditions like thyroid issues or vitiligo might cause premature greying.
2. Improve Nutrition:
Include foods rich in vitamin B12 (milk, eggs, fish), iron (spinach, lentils), copper (nuts, seeds), and zinc (whole grains, beans).
Offer a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and proteins.
3. Limit Harsh Chemicals:
Avoid using harsh shampoos, conditioners, or hair products that might damage the scalp or hair follicles.
4. Promote Healthy Hair Care:
Use mild, chemical-free shampoos.
Massage the scalp with natural oils like coconut or almond oil to improve blood circulation.
5. Consult a Doctor:
If the greying progresses rapidly, consult a pediatrician or dermatologist. They might recommend tests to check for deficiencies or underlying conditions and suggest supplements if needed.
Premature greying is usually harmless, but addressing the root cause can help slow its progression.
