Causes of gray hair appearing at age 35
White hair appearing at age 35 makes many people worried, but this is often a natural part of the body's aging process.
The discovery of the first gray hairs at the age of 35 makes many people worried. Many people think that this is a sign of premature aging or a potential health problem. However, gray hair at this age is often a natural phenomenon and in most cases is not a cause for concern.
Hair color is determined by melanin, a pigment produced by melanin cells in hair follicles. As age increases, melanin levels gradually decrease, causing hair to turn gray, silver or white.
Dr. Preeti Seth, a dermatologist and aesthetic expert in New Delhi (India), said that hair color is determined by melanin, a pigment produced by hair follicles. Over time, the amount of melanin gradually decreases, making newly grown hair strands lighter in color and turning gray or white. This process is heavily influenced by genetic factors, so the time of appearance of gray hair in each person may be different.
The appearance of a few gray hairs at the age of 35 is quite common and is usually not a sign of serious health problems.
Besides genetic factors, many other causes can also promote premature graying, including prolonged stress, smoking, nutritional deficiencies, or some medical conditions. In particular, vitamin B12, iron, copper, folate deficiency, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune diseases are believed to be associated with premature graying.
According to Dr. Seth, if gray hair is related to nutritional deficiency or underlying medical conditions, treating the cause can help improve this condition in some cases. However, when gray hair originates from age or genetic factors, no method has been proven to completely reverse the process of hair pigmentation loss.
Experts recommend that people be cautious with advertised products that can permanently restore gray hair color. To date, there is no clear scientific evidence to prove the long-term effectiveness of these products.
Gray hair at age 35 is generally a normal phenomenon and is often related to the natural aging process or genetic factors. However, if gray hair appears suddenly, spreads quickly or comes with abnormal health signs, people should go for examination to be assessed and find the specific cause.
