To address premature greying of hair, consider a holistic approach: maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins B12, E, and minerals like copper, zinc, and iron; reduce stress through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises; use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos; massage your scalp regularly; and consider Ayurvedic or natural remedies like amla, coconut oil, or henna, while avoiding excessive heat styling, harsh chemical treatments, and frequent dyeing.
