I'm an 18-year-old and I've been really worried about my hair lately. It's been falling out a lot, and I've read that it might be male pattern hair loss. I've tried using minoxidil because I heard it helps, but it actually made everything worse. I've still got a decent amount of hair and I really want to keep it that way. What should I do to stop it from getting worse?

View allI've noticed that the hairs on my eyebrows and upper lip are starting to turn white. I've been dealing with grey hair for the past 34 years, and it just seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Is there any way to stop my eyebrow hairs from going white too?
Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. You can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.
