Introduction
White hair at age 30 can be managed through nutritional supplementation, regular作息 (daily routines), emotional regulation, improved blood circulation, and traditional Chinese medicine调理 (adjustment). Most cases of premature graying caused by acquired factors can be slowed down or even partially reversed with proper intervention. However, if white hair increases significantly in a short period, or is accompanied by symptoms such as hair loss, fatigue, or dizziness, medical advice should be sought promptly.

White hair at age 30 can be managed through methods such as nutritional supplementation, regular作息 (daily routines), emotional regulation, improved blood circulation, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)调理 (regulation). Most cases of premature graying caused by acquired factors can be slowed or even partially reversed with proper scientific intervention. If white hair increases rapidly in a short period, or is accompanied by symptoms such as hair loss, fatigue, or dizziness, medical advice should be sought promptly.

1. Nutritional supplementation: Increase intake of foods rich in B vitamins, copper, iron, and zinc. These nutrients are essential for melanin synthesis and help nourish hair follicles, reducing the development of white hair.

2. Regular作息 (daily routines): Avoid staying up late and ensure 7–8 hours of sleep each night. Sleep deprivation can impair hair follicle function and disrupt melanin production. Maintaining consistent sleep patterns supports follicle repair and melanin generation.

3. Emotional regulation: Chronic anxiety and excessive stress can cause hormonal imbalances and suppress melanocyte activity. Practicing exercise, meditation, or other stress-relief techniques can help maintain emotional stability.

4. Improve blood circulation: Gently massage the scalp daily with fingertips to enhance blood flow to the head, delivering sufficient oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles and supporting the recovery of melanocyte function.

5. TCM调理 (regulation): Under professional guidance, consume TCM ingredients or formulas that nourish the kidneys, enrich blood, and promote dark, healthy hair. According to TCM theory, the kidneys govern hair health, and tonifying kidney energy and blood improves nutrient supply to hair follicles.

In daily life, minimize frequent hair dyeing and perming to prevent chemical damage to hair follicles; choose mild shampoos and keep the scalp clean; avoid excessive pulling or tension on the hair to reduce follicle irritation. Long-term adherence to scientifically sound hair care practices can support the improvement and potential reversal of white hair.
