Have you finally spotted that first grey hair? Chances are you might be freaking right now. While you have all the reasons to be freaking out, we would recommend you to stay calm and read through the article which can help you learn a few dos and don’ts of grey hair. Sulking around, panicking, or standing in front of the mirror while contemplating what to do next isn’t going to do any good to you. We understand that this is not the most pleasant situation or something you were looking forward to, but this is not the end of the world quite literally. Whether it’s for a genetic reason or it’s the part of the aging process, grey hair is bound to happen one day or another and it’s better to accept it that way because no one can really get away with it for the entire life, of course, it can be concealed using hair dyes and colors but that doesn’t hide the truth. However, if it’s your first time experiencing it then it’s time that you get serious about your hair care routine and start paying more attention to it as there’s still some time you can prevent premature greying of your hair.
Listed below are a few do’s and don’ts that you must follow to prevent premature hair greying.
Dos:
Hot oil treatment
One of the best ways to keep your hair strong and healthy is to give it a hot oil treatment every once a week. Massaging your scalp using warm oil helps in strengthening your hair follicles and also improves blood circulation which further reduces the hair fall and also prevents your hair from turning grey. You can use any kind of oil you like but try using the one that comes with ingredients that could benefit your hair more amazingly.
Use ammonia-free dye to color your hair
Hair dyes are one of the roots causes of your hair turning grey. While most women like experimenting with coloring their hair temporarily, but it can severely damage the locks which further can ruin hair texture and turns it grey in no time. If you still want to continue coloring your hair then make sure to purchase ammonia-free dye that doesn’t produce any such harmful results and is easily available in the stores.
Reduce stress and anxiety levels
Another main reason behind your hair turning grey prematurely is high levels of stress and anxiety which is not good for your mental and physical health alike. High stress and anxiety levels often result in acne breakout, hair greying, and hair fall which is not something you definitely want to happen. Therefore, you should work on your mental health and try to keep yourself calm and relaxed by listening to music, doing meditation, yoga, exercise, or anything that you enjoy.
Don’ts:
Ignore your grey hair
While it’s a great thing to do to avoid taking any kind of stress but you should also take greying of your hair as a sign that something is wrong with your body and it needs to be worked upon. As much as we would like you to be least bothered about grey hair, sometimes it also becomes important to identify the root cause of your hair turning grey prematurely, and in most cases, it is either caused due to genetic reason or due to lack of proteins and other vital nutrients. This is why you should always add protein-rich food in your diet and keep yourself hydrated.
Pluck greys
Plucking grey hair is probably the first thing that comes to anybody’s mind but this is the last thing you should be doing. As tempting as this offer may sound, it can actually prove to be quite disastrous for your hair not because it will result in more grey hair but because it will weaken the cuticle as the base which will produce grey hair that is shorter and always sticks out which will look even funnier and less pleasant.
