A faulty diet and mental worries are the two primary causes of premature greying of hair. Deficiency of certain vitamins, iron, copper, and iodine in the daily diet is said to be a contributory factor. Mental worries produce increased tension in the skin of the scalp; this interferes with the supply of vital nutrition necessary for the health of the hair. Other causes of premature greying of hair are an lack of hygiene (in regards to condition of the scalp), washing the hair with very hot water, frequent drying with an electric dryer, and use of hair dyes. Heredity is also a predisposing factor. Diet is of utmost importance in the prevention and treatment of premature greying of hair so those suffering from this disorder should take a diet rich in all essential nutrients. Devitalizing foods such as white flour, refined sugar, soft drinks, pastries, jams and jellies should be avoided. These foods take away energy, cause wrinkles, unattractive skin, grey hair, and premature old age.
