Hair loss success but how do I stop the 'greys'?

[dut]

For the last few years i've halted my hair loss using nizoral, minoxidil & dutasteride. I now use just revita & dutasteride 0.5mg x 2 per week, but at the age of 45 i've got a few grey hairs. I learnt my hair saving regime off this site and wondered if anyone can point me towards how i stop it going grey (other than dye)?
Thanks
dutasteride

Apparently grey hair is caused by internal bleaching of the hair by hydrogen peroxide which we have in our bodies. We have a chemical called catalase which breaks down the hydrogen peroxide but as we grow older we produce less and less catalase which leaves the hydrogen peroxide to turn our hair grey. Anyone know of a legitimate supplier of catalase supplement capsules?

Grey hair is usually associated with ageing but Besides age some major reason of grey hairs are:
1.Bad Diets
2.Vitiligo: It is a condition in which the hair and skin loses its pigmentation due to a decrease in melanin production derivatives of the amino acid tyrosine that is responsible for
3.skin and hair pigmentation
4.Being a Smoker
5.Environmental Pollution
6.Hair Care Products
7.Genetic Predisposition

Gray hair smoothed and retard its appearance with the daily use of a homemade lotion that you can make at home, it's easy: in a suitable container place 1 liter of water, add a prewashed avocado seed and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it cool and apply this lotion after washing your hair, the results are slow but the remedy is effective

There's some talk online about tackling grey hair by shifting to a higher protein diet (and reducing carbs). Like a lot of these theories, there's a heap of people who say that after doing this their hair stopped going grey or even reduced the grey. Also, taking l-tyrosine (500 to 1000mg per day) is meant to help cause l-tyrosine is involved as a rate limiting step with catalase, and tyrosine is much cheaper than supplements with catalase in it, but questionable as to how effective tyrosine actually is. At this stage I think dyes (preferably without ammonia) are the cheapest and most convenient option.

Pura D'or has a pretty good grey hair prevention shampoo. Its doesn't have any harmful chemicals so it should be good with your other hair treatments

@dutasteride you had great success using minoxidil (as part of your routine) and you just stopped using it ?
ehm ... didn't all your minoxidil-dependant hair shed ?

I really wanna know about this. I'm only 28 years old. Well soon 29, under a lot of stress lately, and because of the stress, I go out drinking after work, smoking, womanizing. And in turn, now I have salt-and-pepper hair on my sides.

Genetic predisposition is pretty much the number one factor and main one. Believing that stress causes the hairs to turn white is like believing that stress causes male pattern baldness.

They stop making it.

Apparently Sir Thomas Bouch's hair turned white within days of hearing of the deaths due to the collapse of his Tay Bridge.
I take your point though that stress is just a general excuse(like many others- diet , smoking , booze, exercise , blah , blah ) trotted out by clueless "experts"

so if I stop smoking, drinking, and womenizing, I won't have grey hairs anymore?

I'm gonna keep my salt & pepper hair.

Chemicals do, so be careful with Nizoral and other harsh shampoos.

I have gone grey in a couple of months time at the age of 30. It's not genetic at all and it wasnt the normal greying process of someone aging. Yes, I've been under lots of stress. LLLT is supposed to reverse grey hair I suppose. Melitane should help too.

 

[Stefanovic]

Sometimes it's genetic, sometimes it's not. The research on melitane is rather new but tests have shown it darkens hair. There are reports on LLLT doing the same as it increases catalase. So do your homework. In my case it's not genetic.

 

[I.D WALKER]

Just curious if you can tell me which tests you had to confirm your particular case is not genetically linked. Thanx for your input.

 

[Stefanovic]

I've gone through a lot of stress over the last 12 months and all of the sudden patches of hair started growing white. Doesn't look like someone going grey naturally and premature greying doesn't run in my family at all.

 

[Stefanovic]

In a world with such a high number of suicides, it's a shame that you see stress as just an empty word. Alopecia is also linked to stress and that has nothing to do with male pattern baldness.

People want to blame something other than their genes so they target: diet, smoking, stress, random illness, vitamin deficiency, etc,...
