Ayurvedic Cosmetology Approaches to Premature Hair Greying (Akalapālitya): A Literature Review

OP is exploring ways to stop or reverse greying hair, using NAC and considering PABA supplements. Some users suggest hair dye, black strap molasses, and copper as potential solutions.

A 20-year-old male experienced bald spots and used minoxidil, which led to hair regrowth but also premature graying. He seeks advice on reversing graying through diet or supplements like catalase, while another user suggests vitamin D3 and sesame for hair color.

The user managed hair loss with RU58841 and finasteride but is now experiencing graying hair, possibly due to stopping oral minoxidil. Many responses suggest embracing or dyeing gray hair, emphasizing that having gray hair is preferable to balding.

Ashwagandha may cause hair thinning due to increased TSH levels, suggesting a link to hypothyroidism. Users are advised to consult a doctor for proper evaluation.

Catalase is discussed as a potential treatment for delaying or reversing grey hair, but no reliable medicine currently exists. Other mentioned treatments include Imatinib, senolytics like Quercetin and Fisetin, He Shou Wu, Argan oil, and reishi mushroom extract, though their effectiveness varies.

A 33-year-old male is experiencing thinning at the temples and hairline, with increased shedding over the past year. The user suspects androgenetic alopecia (AGA) despite AI suggesting a maturing hairline.
