How To Stop Hair Whitening At Young Age/ Home Remedies

Hair, as one of the factors of your beauty, is susceptible. You may not be able to bring back your bleached and lost hair, but why let the remaining hair on your head turn white?

Identifying the cause of hair whitening at a young age is the best way to treat and prevent further growth of white hair. Do not be fooled by the advertisements of some companies for the definitive treatment of white hair because if the cause of your white hair is genetic, there is no treatment, and you can only prevent the increase of your white hair. Remember to keep home remedies for hair whitening in mind and supply your body with vitamins.

Using chemical dyes does not help prevent the growth of white hair and speeds up this process. The best thing is to use herbs or natural colors to restore beauty to your hair.

  1. Squash

Pumpkin is one of the products that has shown its effect on stimulating hair and helping pigment cells. To use this product, you can put its oil on your hair.

  1. coconut oil

Since white hair is thicker and more fragile than colored hair, it quickly loses its proteins. Therefore, you should take more care of your white hair. Coconut oil, with its moisturizing and softening properties, prevents hair proteins from falling. To use coconut oil, apply one or two spoons on your white hair and wait an hour. Then remove it from your hair with a mild cleanser. After finishing work, apply a conditioner to your hair for more softness.

Henna is one of the natural hair color products used since ancient times. Henna is not dangerous for children; you can use it to cover your white hair. How to use it is as follows:

  • Add water to one cup of powdered henna to make a thick paste.
  • Mix well and apply the paste to your child’s hair using a pair of gloves.
  • Leave it on for an hour or two before washing it off.

Henna is a product that turns hair orange or light brown, but everyone may not like this color. Most people like to use a natural dye that gives their hair a black color. I recommend you black coffee. You can change your white hair to black with black coffee. However, this is temporary; you must re-dye their white hair after it grows back. How to consume black coffee is as follows:

  • Boil two to three cups of water.
  • Mix four to five teaspoons of coffee powder with plain water in another cup.
  • Mix the coffee mixture with boiled water. Let it cool.

  1. Prevent hair whitening at a young age with onions

You may know onion by its foul smell, but interestingly, it strengthens hair. During the research, scientists found they could produce shampoo from onion extract. Compared to other chemical products, the produced product irritates the hair less and is more effective in stimulating the follicles to produce melanin. Making onion shampoo is relatively easy; you can also make this shampoo at home.

  • Collect 100 grams of fresh onions.
  • Cut them into small pieces.
  • Chop the onion into smaller pieces using a food processor
  • Filter the onion extract by pouring the chopped onion on a muslin cloth
  • Then add onion extract (usually 1 to 3 ml) to a natural shampoo such as coconut, castor, and eucalyptus.

Use this shampoo to see the following results in your hair:

  • More nutrients and better nutrition of hair follicles
  • Moisturizing dry skin and hair
  • Promote hair growth
  • Less growth of graying at an early age

  1. Using rose water to remove hair whitening at a young age

No specific research shows that rose water can cause the loss of white hair. However, rose water has other properties that refresh the hair. The benefits of rose water for hair are:

  • Rose water helps reduce oiliness and dandruff.
  • It has anti-inflammatory properties making it useful for some scalp diseases such as psoriasis and eczema.

Many women with curly hair testify to the ability of rose water to calm frizz and increase shine.

Black seed is an annual flowering plant that is mainly found in India. Black seed oil is obtained simply by pressing black seed seeds. The black seed oil contains thymoquinone.

Thymoquinone promotes hair growth and slows down the aging process of hair follicles, thereby preventing hair thinning and whitening at a young age.

In general, black seed and its oil have many benefits for hair, which need to be reviewed in another article, but if we want to refer to its benefits case by case, we should mention these things:

Medicines to remedies for hair whitening

Are there pills to prevent gray hair? Medicines often cause hair loss or excessive hair growth, but they act as a complication of hair color change. It means that hair color change drugs are a drug’s side effect, and there is no specific drug to remove white hair. In the following, we introduce the drugs observed to change hair color.

  1. Chloroquine and white hair

This drug is used to treat lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. In some cases, it has been observed that this medicine makes the scalp shiny and rarely affects the color of the hair, sibyl, and eyebrows.

  1. Sunitinib drug to prevent hair graying at an early age

This drug is mainly used to treat cancer and carcinoma. Whitening of hair on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, or body hair may occur with this medicine. The effect of this drug is dose-dependent, which means that the intensity of the color change depends on the dose. 7-14% of patients with a lower dose (50 mg per day) and up to 64% of patients with a higher dose (more than 50 mg per day) have experienced hair color change

Medicines to remedies for hair whitening
  1. Sorafenib

This drug is used to treat thyroid cancer and kidney and liver carcinoma. By taking this drug, up to 27% of patients show a change in hair color after 2 to 6 weeks. According to the report, hair may grow back even while the patient is still treated with sorafenib. However, the newly grown hair is more fragile, curlier and sometimes darker than the original.

  1. Phenobarbital

Due to Lyell’s syndrome in several rare cases, this anticonvulsant drug has caused black hair to become blonde.

  1. Cisplatin

After hair loss, this anti-cancer agent has reported regrowth of lighter and darker hair.

Your frequently asked questions

In the following, we will examine the most common popular questions that arise in the minds of most of the audience.

  • Does taking a bath too much cause white hair?

There is little evidence that taking too many showers turns your hair gray. However, bathing too much will cause the loss of oil and beneficial bacteria on your head. With the loss of these things, your scalp becomes dry and may crack. Splitting your scalp exposes the roots of your hair to harmful bacteria that may affect your follicles.

  • What foods help prevent hair whitening at a young age?

As mentioned, you should get the minerals and vitamins your hair needs from food. Each food has different nutrients, but in general, you should eat the following foods regularly to avoid vitamin deficiency:

  • dairy
  • Fish
  • beef liver
  • Chicken
  • potato
  • Citrus
  • Beans and lentils
  • Dark leafy vegetables
  • Almonds and peanuts
  • White mushroom.
