Brief Answer:
It is not possible to reverse greying of hair after 25 years of age
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
Appearance of white hair is under genetic control.
We can’t reverse white hair after the age of 25 years.
There are certain deficiencies like vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron deficiencies and thyroid dysfunction which can cause early and fast greying of hair.
I would recommend you to get your haemoglobin, serum vitamin D levels, serum vitamin B12 levels and thyroid function tests.
Meanwhile, you can start with tablet calcium pantothenate 200 mg once daily for 3-4 months.
It can help in reducing further greying of hair.
Also take a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables and reduce stress.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
