230 views

Temples go grey first because the hair follicles in these areas often produce less melanin as we age. Melanin is the pigment responsible for hair color, and its reduction leads to greying. The temples are more sensitive to this melanin decrease, causing grey hair to appear here before other areas. Genetics also play a significant role in this process.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Why do some people grey faster than others? Genetics plays a crucial role; individuals may inherit genes that accelerate the greying process.
  2. Is grey hair reversible? Currently, there is no scientifically proven method to reverse grey hair, but maintaining a healthy diet may slow the process.
  3. What causes grey hair besides aging? Stress, dietary deficiencies, and certain medical conditions can also contribute to premature greying.
