Young adults are increasingly experiencing grey hair, a phenomenon previously associated with older age. While genetics plays a role, lifestyle factors like stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and pollution are accelerating hair aging. Dermatologists advise a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, adequate hydration, exercise, and sufficient sleep. Avoiding harsh chemical hair products and heat styling is also recommended to combat premature greying and maintain hair health.
