Gray hair
Vitamin B deficiencies may cause early graying of hair. If copper is lacking in your diet, it can also result in premature hair graying since it is involved in the hair pigmentation. A healthy diet with nuts and fish should meet your requirements. If you have to resort to dyes, prefer to use henna or those extracted from vegetables since the chemical dyes could do you more serious harm.
One must remember that grooming and using styling products alone does not solve hair problems. A diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals enhances and maintains the health and luster of the hair.
