Question

My husband and mother-in-law both have premature graying, and I’m worried that my daughter might inherit this condition. She’s one year old, and a few strands of yellow hair have started to grow on her head. What precautions should I take?

Answer

Premature graying can be a result of both genetic and environmental factors. A lack of melanin is a primary cause. It is recommended to consume more walnuts and black sesame seeds, as well as regularly eat vegetables like carrots and spinach, and to massage the head to promote blood circulation. Emotional stress can also contribute to premature graying, so treatment requires long-term persistence, which may take about two years. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain consistency.
