I'm planning to switch to a different brand of minoxidil after using my current one for 5 months because it's getting hard to find. I'm wondering if changing brands might have any impact on my hair. Could it cause any changes or issues I should be aware of?

View allI'm noticing that I have about 20 white hairs, and I'm really worried about it. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent more from appearing and what I should do to take care of my hair? What should I avoid doing to keep my hair healthy?
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.
