Childhood premature graying of hair may result from insufficient melanin production in hair follicles or may be genetically inherited. Dietary measures include consuming more legumes, sesame seeds, walnuts, and seafood. Additionally, oral supplementation with vitamin B complex and biotin (vitamin H) may be beneficial. Daily scalp massage—morning and evening—can also improve scalp blood circulation and help reduce the appearance of gray hair.
