Currently, there is no clinically proven cure for premature graying of hair in adolescents; treatment is limited to symptomatic relief using medications. Under a physician’s guidance, supplementation with certain vitamins—such as vitamin B1, vitamin B6, or a multivitamin complex—may help enhance overall metabolic function. Additionally, regular scalp massage can improve local blood circulation around the hair follicles, thereby delivering adequate nutrition to melanocytes in the hair bulb or dermal papilla. This supports increased melanin synthesis and promotes the formation of melanin granules, potentially restoring hair pigmentation.
