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. The hairs which have already turned white cannot be turned back to black. But 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.

I'm using minoxidil to help with hair growth and I've been at it for about a month now under my doctor's guidance. But I've noticed that I'm getting flaky white dandruff on my scalp from using it regularly. Is it normal to get dandruff when using minoxidil? Also, what would be the best way to handle it? I've heard that washing with anti-dandruff shampoo every day might not be great for my hair. What do you suggest?
