Premat. greying hair: You may not be able to reverse it but soemtimes it may help to make sure he is eating right& manages his stress better. Sometimes it is heriditary. Hair turns grey when the hair follicles r damaged either due 2 mechancial/nutrional or general mental stress. Make sure he doesnt use hair care products containing alcohol. Have him take multivits. Daily. Folic acid, zinc, mg, calcium, etc. R good.
