Causes of Premature Graying in Young People

Premature graying of hair in young individuals is commonly caused by prolonged sleep deprivation or excessive mental stress. These factors can impair the delivery of essential nutrients to the hair follicles and disrupt both the production and transport of melanin. However, genetic predisposition cannot be ruled out as a contributing factor, nor can deficiencies in certain vitamins. In daily life, consuming fresh vegetables and fruits—as well as foods such as black sesame seeds and goji berries—may be beneficial.
