Graying of the hair before the age of 20 in Caucasians and before the age of 30 in African Americans is known as Premature Graying Hair (PGH) or Canities. It might have a negative impact on someone's Quality of Life. According to unani system it may be because of weakness of Hazm, poor nutrition of the hair and predominance of Burudat (coldness) in the body. The precise etiopathogenesis is yet unclear. When a patient has PGH, they should be evaluated for metabolic disorders and syndromes. According to Unani System the cause of premature greying of hair is excess production of Balgham (Phlegm) is increased greying of hair. Hair Colors and Colorants can be a transitory treatment choice however aggravation and unfavorably susceptible impacts to certain people are accounted for, it likewise expands the financial burdan. Treatment choices for PGH is calcium pantothenate, PABA, or both in blend and treating the going with obsessive circumstances. Natural Drugs, Nutritional supplements, Unani herbs for both oral and local hair dyes continue to be the primary method of treating cosmetic issues. This review paper explores the detail etiopathogenesis and management of PGH.

BackgroundGraying is an inherent and unavoidable consequence of the aging process, impacting individuals of all genders. There are limited studies in Saudi Arabia that have examined the prevalence and predictors of premature graying of hair (PGH).ObjectivesThis study aims to explore the prevalence and predictors of PGH before the age of 30 among the population of Saudi Arabia.MethodsThis is a cross‐sectional online survey that was conducted between July 2023 and February 2024 in Saudi Arabia. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors of having gray hair before the age of 30.ResultsA total of 1193 participants were involved in this study. A significant portion of respondents reported having gray hair before the age of 30 (55.9%). The younger population (younger than 44 years), smokers, and those who have comorbidities, have anxiety, have depression, have a family history of gray hair before the age of 30 years, have a dry scalp, suffer from vitamin or mineral deficiencies, have hair loss due to immune diseases (such as alopecia), and use minoxidil or rosemary for hair loss were more likely to have gray hair before the age of 30 years (p < 0.05).ConclusionThis study highlighted the high prevalence rate and associated predictors of PGH in Saudi Arabia. Identified predictors include genetic, health, and lifestyle factors. Healthcare professionals and decision makers are advised to promote the awareness of the general public on its risk factors to enhance the prevention of PGH. Public health initiatives include campaigns on smoking cessation, healthy nutrition, and mental health.

This review aims to gain insight into the major causes of hair graying (canities) and how plant-derived extracts and phytochemicals could alleviate this symptom. Research articles on human hair graying were searched and selected using the PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. We first examined the intrinsic and extrinsic factors associated with hair graying, such as the reduced capacity of melanin synthesis and transfer, exhaustion of melanocyte stem cells (MSCs) and melanocytes, genetics and epigenetics, race, gender, family history, aging, oxidative stress, stress hormones, systematic disorders, nutrition, smoking, alcohol consumption, lifestyle, medications, and environmental factors. We also examined various plants and phytochemicals that have shown a potential to interfere with the onset or progression of human hair graying at different levels from in vitro studies to clinical studies: the extract of Polygonum multiflorum and its major components, 2,3,5,4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside and emodin; the extract of Eriodictyon angustifolium and its major flavonoid compounds, hydroxygenkwanin, sterubin, and luteolin; the extracts of Adzuki beans (Vigna angularis), Fuzhuan brick tea (Camellia sinensis), and Gynostemma pentaphyllum; bixin, a carotenoid compound found in Bixa orellana; and rhynchophylline, an alkaloid compound found in certain Uncaria species. Experimental evidence supports the notion that certain plant extracts and phytochemicals could alleviate hair graying by enhancing MSC maintenance or melanocyte function, reducing oxidative stress due to physiological and environmental influences, and managing the secretion and action of stress hormones to an appropriate level. It is suggested that hair graying may be reversible through the following tactical approaches: selective targeting of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)–microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) axis, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), or the norepinephrine–β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR)–protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway.
