How to prevent Premature Greying of Hair in Men: Causes & Remedies

How to prevent Premature Greying of Hair in Men: Causes & Remedies

Premature grey hair is becoming increasingly common among men. Traditionally, grey hair was associated with wisdom, maturity, or advancing years, but today it’s becoming common even in early 20s and 30s. While a few grey hair may seem harmless and normal initially, but they are the signs of deeper imbalances — from poor nutrition to stress and hormonal issues.


But here's the good news: You can prevent or even reverse premature grey hair naturally by adopting the right lifestyle, nutrition, and Ayurvedic herbal support. This blog is your comprehensive guide to understanding why grey hair is showing up too soon and what you can do about it. 

What is Premature Grey Hair in Men?


Greying before age 25–30 in men is considered premature. It starts with few white strands near the temples or crown and gradually spreads. In Ayurveda, this condition is known as Palitya, linked to aggravated Pitta and tissue degeneration (Dhatu Kshaya).

Key Causes of Premature Grey Hair in Men

1. Pitta Dosha Aggravation

Men are more prone to Pitta dominance (heat, aggression, acidity), which is even more imbalanced with more spicy food, alcohol, and stress — leading to grey hairs and hair loss.

2. Genetics

A family history of early greying can increase your risk, but lifestyle still plays a role.

3. Chronic Stress

Men under constant work pressure or mental stress show faster ageing, including early greying.

4. Nutrient Deficiencies

Deficiency of Vitamin B12, vitamin D, biotin, iron, zinc, and protein are major contributors for premature grey hair and hair breakage. 

5. Smoking & Pollution

Men who smoke or work in high-pollution environments expose hair follicles to oxidative damage which causes premature grey hair and hair damage. 

How to Prevent Grey Hair Naturally in Men

Diet to Prevent Premature Grey hair in Men

What to Eat:

  • Amla- For vitamin C and better absorption of iron

  • Pumpkin seeds – rich in zinc 

  • Dark leafy greens – for iron and folate

  • Cow ghee – nourishes hair tissue

  • Whole grains & legumes – supply B-complex vitamins

  • Mushrooms- For vitamin D

What to Avoid:

  • Spicy, fried, or overly salty food

  • Smoking and alcohol

  • Frequent consumption of instant or chemical-laden foods

Lifestyle Tips for Men to Prevent Premature Grey Hair Naturally

1. Stress Management

Practice meditation, om chanting for managing stress and proper sleep. 

2. Weekly Oil Massage

Apply warm Vedaxry Hair Oil twice a week to stimulate blood flow and reduce scalp heat.

3. Get Proper Sleep

Men often cut down on sleep due to work or screen time. Lack of sleep leads to premature ageing and hair loss.

4. Avoid Hot Showers & Harsh Water

Hard water and hot showers dry out the scalp and accelerate greying.

Ayurvedic Herbs to Prevent Premature grey hair

Some special Rasayana herbs (rejuvenators) are known to nourish the scalp and prevent early greying by balancing Pitta- 

  • Bhringraj: Promotes natural black hair and scalp nourishment. 

  • Methi (Fenugreek) Seeds: Strengthens follicles and delays hair pigment loss.

  • Neem: Blood purifier and scalp detoxifier.

These herbs are ideal for men’s internal detox and hair nourishment. These herbs have been formulated by ayurvedic experts at Deep Ayurveda as herbal powders which can be consumed with warm water or applied as a hair pack.
