I'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.

I'm 26 and I've noticed that my hairline is receding, especially around my temples. I saw a dermatologist and they recommended I use Hair Joy 5 Minoxidil foam. I've started using it, but I'm experiencing a rapid heartbeat and I'm getting anxious about possibly having chest pain. I really want to keep using the minoxidil, but the side effects, especially the palpitations, are really worrying me. What should I do?
If you are experiencing rapid heartbeats and are worried about chest pain, you should discuss this with your dermatologist. They may recommend adjusting the dosage or trying a different formulation of minoxidil. In the meantime, you can consider using a different hair growth product such as "Rogaine" foam which contains minoxidil and is known to have fewer side effects. The recommended dosage for Rogaine foam is usually 1g applied to the affected area twice daily. Remember to always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
