What should pregnant women do if they have white hair?

Studies have found that heredity, disease, or a lack of trace elements such as copper and iron in the body are the key causes of gray hair. Gray hair in pregnant women is also related to these reasons. If you want to treat it, you must not take medicine casually. Diet therapy is the best choice. It not only has good therapeutic effects, but also has no side effects.

1. What are the causes of gray hair?

1. Genetic or disease factors

The appearance of gray hair is related to genetics. People who have gray or white hair before they reach old age often have a family history. It is an autosomal dominant inheritance and can also be seen in certain syndromes (such as progeria syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, etc.). In addition, gray hair may also occur if you suffer from some serious diseases such as pernicious anemia, hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, syphilis, etc.

For this group of people, they can improve hair graying by persisting in massaging their scalp. The specific method is: before going to bed and after getting up in the morning every day, insert the ten fingers of both hands into the hair, and rub the scalp from the forehead to the top of the head to the back of the head, each time for 2 to 4 minutes. It can improve scalp nutrition, regulate sebum secretion, promote scalp blood circulation, and enhance local metabolism.

2. Lack of trace elements such as copper and iron

Studies have shown that lack of protein and severe malnutrition are one of the causes of premature gray hair, especially lack of trace elements such as copper, cobalt and iron in the diet can also lead to gray hair. In recent years, scientists have discovered that hair pigment particles contain a mixture of copper and iron. When the nickel content in hair increases, it turns gray. Therefore, trace elements are closely related to hair color.
