Why the white hair

Gray hair is a very common phenomenon in normal times. However, under normal circumstances, as people age, they will grow gray hair. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, many young people now have a head full of white hair at a young age. In fact, gray hair may be caused by disease or other reasons. Gray hair has a great impact on people’s daily life and image, so it is necessary to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically.

Why do we have white hair?

1. Malnutrition

People who lack protein and are malnourished may also grow gray hair, especially those who lack trace elements such as copper, cobalt and iron. In addition, a lack of vitamins B1, B2, and B6 can also cause the growth of white hair.

2. Heredity or disease

There is another type of people who have white hair mainly due to genetics or disease. Some people have gray hair due to genetics, which is usually autosomal dominant. In addition, diseases such as progeria syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, pernicious anemia, hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, syphilis, etc. can also cause gray hair.

3. Excessive mental stress

People who have more worries are more likely to grow hair. This is the reason why they say "worry turns your hair gray". Some people with severe sleep disorders or those who are often in a state of mental fear have neurological disorders, their scalp blood vessels contract for a long time, blood circulation is blocked, and hair follicles cannot absorb nutrients. Over time it will lead to gray hair growth and hair loss.
