How to treat premature graying of hair

The phenomenon of premature graying of hair is not uncommon, and many people are troubled by it. In the face of this problem, you can take the method of Chinese medicine conditioning. Walnuts, Ganoderma lucidum, and wolfberry can effectively help black hair. Also, you should avoid sleeping with a wet head to prevent gray hair.

1. After your hair turns white, you can use Chinese medicine to treat it

You can use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your hair and turn white hair into black hair. When making soup at home, you can add some Chinese medicinal materials, such as Cornus officinalis, Polygonum multiflorum, Rehmannia glutinosa, walnut, Ganoderma lucidum, Lycium barbarum, Ligustrum lucidum, Rubus idaeus, Asparagus cochinchinensis, Polygonatum sibiricum, and Angelica sinensis. You can also use black sesame seeds or Polygonum multiflorum to soak in water and drink it. Polygonum multiflorum can be used 20 to 30 grams per day. If you have a hot constitution, angelica is generally not used. Drinking chrysanthemum tea and eating more walnut kernels can clear the liver and improve eyesight, and are beneficial for turning gray hair into black.

Mental relaxation is important. If you are too nervous and anxious for a period of time, it will lead to an increase in the release of catecholamines in the brain, reduce the activity of tyrosinase, thereby affecting the metabolism of melanin and reducing the synthesis of melanin in the hair.

2. Don’t sleep with a wet head to prevent premature graying of hair

Proper washing is important. Wash your hair regularly, usually 1 to 2 times a week, and increase the frequency appropriately in summer. It is best to use soft water that contains few minerals and is non-irritating to hair. The water temperature should be close to body temperature. After washing your hair, it is not good to sleep with wet hair as you are susceptible to cold and may lead to premature graying of hair.

When walking in the sun, you should take protection. Avoid strong sunlight or dry and windy weather that may cause hair degeneration. The intensity of the sun's ultraviolet rays in Guangdong is very high, and is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., even in autumn and winter. Ultraviolet rays can break the chemical structure of hair, destroying its elasticity, causing it to dry out and its color to fade. Don't expose your hair to the sun for too long. Pay special attention to moisturizing your hair during the dry autumn and winter seasons. Anti-UV hair care products can have a certain effect.

3. Pay attention to diet to prevent premature graying of hair

Eat more foods that are high in protein and vitamins, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, fish, beans, seafood, fresh vegetables and fruits. The medicinal materials and foods that can be used for dietary treatment include: black sesame, mulberry, Polygonum multiflorum, Ligustrum lucidum, wolfberry, yam, jujube, black bean, chrysanthemum, lean pork, carrot, spinach, animal liver, etc., which are all good nutritional medicines and foods for hair.

Vitamin A is beneficial for maintaining the normal function and structure of epithelial tissue and preventing hair from graying. You can often eat foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, spinach, rapeseed, leeks, celery, apricots, etc.

Seaweed rich in iodine is very beneficial to hair. You should add some oil when eating it to help the absorption of iodine.
