Long hour work, skipping meals, stress, nutritional deficiency and no regular eating time can cause grey hair. Age is also responsible for the grey hair because The hair follicles that are located at the base of our hair die with age. These follicles are particularly responsible for the pigment that gives the hair its color. When the follicles die, there is no more of hair color and hair begins to look transparent. This is commonly what we describe as grey hair.

A faulty diet and mental worries are the two primary causes of premature graying of hair. Another most common reason is heredity. It can also be the result of a medical condition, if you are deficient in B12 or suffer from a thyroid imbalance it can also cause your hair to go gray.
