Going grey has a perception of person getting old and not attractive. Therefore, lot of remedies are tried to colour the affected part of scalp. Use of measures to colour hair or use of medications to change the grey hair to black is only a temporary phenomenon which may not last long as the melanin a pigment which imparts colour to hair is gradually decreased. Men have greying much faster than women. Thyroid hormones [triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4)] and the central neuroendocrine regulator of the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which is produced within human scalp stimulate melanin production. Thus, both in hypo and hyperthyroid state greying can occur. This is also altered in Postmenopausal changes include decreased anagen hairs in the frontal scalp, lower growth rates. The preferred action is to have balanced diet, adequate vitamins, avoiding excessive exposure to sun and lubrication of hair regularly with any oil.

“…Atopic diathesis and autoimmune disorders like pernicious anaemia and hypothyroidism are proved to be associated with premature canities. (1,3,4) Apart from that stress, smoking and various micronutrient deficiencies have been found to be associated with premature greying of hair. (3,4) Haemoglobin, vitamin D3, vitamin B12 and ferritin were found to be deficient in many patients of premature canities.…”

Background: Premature canities is a very common problem. Patients with premature canities seek medical care for cosmetic concern but sometimes it may be associated with some underlying disease or deficiency state. Aim: Comparison of prevalence of certain micronutrient deficiency in prepubertal and post-pubertal patients of premature canities. Material and Method: An observational study was done on 40 self-reported cases of premature canities. Each patient was assessed for serum level of haemoglobin, ferritin, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12. Patients were divided into two groups, prepubertal patients were included in group-A and post-pubertal patients were included in group-B. Result: Haemoglobin deficiency was present in 75% patients of group-A and 25% patients of group-B. Ferritin deficiency was present in 62.5% patients of group-A and 37.5% patients of group-B. Vitamin D3 deficiency was present in 95.84% patients of group-A and 75% patients of group-B. Vitamin B12 deficiency was present in 83.34% patients of group-A and 43.75% patients of group-B. There was statistically significant difference between deficiency of haemoglobin and vitamin B12 in group-A and group-B, p value being 0.0018 and 0.0883 respectively. Conclusion: Prepubertal cases of premature canities are more prone to have underlying micronutrient deficiency. Key words: premature canities, micronutrient deficiency, prepubertal, post-pubertal

Background: Hair symbolizes well-being and self-expression, with graying occurring naturally among different racial groups at varying ages. Premature graying has psychological and societal impacts, influencing self-esteem and quality of life. Gray hair usually advances gradually and is permanent, with occasional reports of natural repigmentation. Premature graying of hair (PMGH) results from a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and cellular factors. Materials and Methods: Studies exploring links between gray hair and conditions such as osteopenia, hearing loss, smoking, obesity, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease have yielded mixed results. Despite continuous research into the causes of gray hair, effective, evidence-based treatments are lacking and still need to be improved. Conclusion: Herein, we reviewed the causes, mechanisms, risk factors, psychosocial effects, and emerging therapies for PMGH.
