Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There isn't medical treatment for grey hair. I can only suggest you dye them with a good brand hair dye. You can start applying topical Minoxidil 5% to 10% once or twice a day for at least a year to see optimal results as the Minoxidil promotes new hair growth. Along with that I suggest you start PRP (platelet rejuvenation plasma) treatments where plasma from your blood is injected into your scalp once every 4 to 5 weeks for a minimum of 8 to 10 sessions. PRP will reduce your hair fall, strengthen your hair follicles and also promoted new hair growth. Start having multivitamin tablets which have biotin daily. Start consuming foods which will further strengthen your hair such as eggs, green leafy vegetables, nuts, lentils, avocado, to name a few.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

You can apply Melitane solution to cover grayness of hair. Biotin supplements can make your hair stronger. Include curry leaves in your diet for stronger hair.
