A member asked:
Can excessive shampooing ( four or five times weekly) cause premature greying of hair? are there epigenetic reasons of premature hair greying?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: First of all, daily shampooing (7 times a week) is not excessive shampooing. Many people shampoo their hair daily. And there has never been a link between shampoo frequency and graying. Chronic stress likely contributes to graying. Hereditary issues also come in to play.
