I've been having this issue with my hair turning grey for a couple of months now. I'm noticing that some of my hairs are completely grey, while others are black at the root, then brown, and eventually grey at the top. It's happening pretty quickly, and I'm worried. Is there any way to reverse the greying? I'd really appreciate any advice or solutions you might have.

grey hair is due to lack of biotin protien in your diet,consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair,if it is bothering you visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm using permethrin cream for scabies and I've already applied it once over my body. Should I put it on again soon, or is it better to wait a few days before reapplying? Should it be applied continuously or is there a certain timeline to follow? I'm just not sure how often I should be using it.

apply for some days
