Would you mind sharing the products you use? I take selenium and copper, and have not noticed a single change.

I've heard that about copper before. I got some but then learned it can interfere with zinc absorption so decided to stop taking it. Glad to hear it worked for you.

I started going grey at 13 yo and by 18 yo I was regularly coloring my hair to cover the grey. I become completely grey by my early 30s. It became way too much maintenance to color my hair (needing touch ups every 2 weeks), so I eventually gave up and just let my grey grow out and am happy with the way it looks. I’m still young and maybe it ages me, but saving hundreds of dollars and hours in the salon every month is so worth it.

[@jw6156]

turned grey at age 19, glad i am not the only one. my hair are now white at age 43, i still color it every week, but deeply respect the ones who do not. i live a healthy lifestyle btw and so tired of people telling me that i am doing something wrong and the greying is my responsibility...

It doesn't age you. Awful that this doctor said that. What's aging is not taking care of yourself, not exercising, and not eating healthy

[@mamacitabrady2856]

I stared greying in my late 20’s due to genetics. I started coloring when someone thought my daughter was my granddaughter. I colored until I was 50. I had to do it every 14 to 18 days to keep roots from showing. My colorist did a fantastic job and no one knew I was coloring. I always felt if you are going to color don’t show roots. My hair is the texture of Dr.Ellis so it’s more difficult to hide grey roots. And I think it looks really tacky to see someone’s grey roots. Not coloring at all looks better in my opinion. I do miss looking younger but not all the money and time spent to keep it that way. Now at 60 my hair is nearly total white. I do get some low lights every 3 months to give my hair dimension.

I noticed my hair starting to go grey in my late 20’s early 30’s. So during 10 years I dyed my hair to cover it. One day going over my finances I tallied up my expenses for hair appointments for a year. I haven’t dyed my hair since, and that’s about 10 years ago. 💕

Excellent video Dr. Ellis! I have gray hair, which I color, and am really struggling with the change in texture. It's gone from fine, straight, silky, smooth to frizzy and impossible to style.

Nicely put. Living in south africa I have to say that I've had magnificent results generally from going on the carnivore diet. I'm 3 months in and my overall health has improved significantly.

How did you manage to reverse grey hair ?

[@pattiyyz]

I started going grey fairly young (after my mother) and I coloured it dark brown well into my 50s. But it was starting to become a pain because I would have to get the roots coloured every 3-4 weeks and it was expensive and time consuming (if I coloured it at home I made a mess in the bathroom lol). I decided to embrace my grey hair and started growing it out around my mid-50s. I love my grey because it actually looks silver and I get a lot of positive comments on it and people ask me if that is real or if I coloured it that way and I tell them it's all natural. Some days when I look in the mirror I feel I look my age (which will be 60 in July) and that's okay, but once in a while I think about colouring it brown again but then I never do. I think my grey is here to stay because I love it and it is only when I think other people might judge me about it I get self-doubts and many of the negative comments come from actual friends. But I believe in aging gracefully and loving yourself at any age :)

[@BY-px1dr]

I really dislike my grey hair because I have a baby face that is a huge mismatch with all the grey hair that I have.

[@southerngirlhandmadeknit]

I used to think the same thing until I started seeing lots and lots of beautiful women actually choosing to go "platinum" which is a silver gray color. I figured if the 20 year old beauties are doing it I will go with it since #1: I get my silver hair naturally; and #2 it doesn't cost me a dime lol

[@jshin]

okay thank you for the video~! are there any hair dyes that you recommend?

[@shawnahare4299]

I was in my early 20s when the graying started. Dyed it decades. Now I'm really happy with it. Though it is a bit wiry.

[@consciouscrypto3090]

I just henna'd my hair today. I have to do it every 6-7 weeks and I'm so over it. But I still do it because I like how it looks afterward, and without the drying effects of chemical dyes. Someday I'll probably cut my hair short and let it be salt and pepper but that will need to be when I'm ready to start looking old. Right now I still pass for someone in their 30s even though I'm 50s, but only with freshly henna'd hair or a wig.

[@blackstripened]

I am turning 38 and got my first few gray hair when going through a divorce last summer, haven't got them more ever since. I'm actually proud of my few grays, I think they're cute, not planning to dye them. I feel like I appreciate so much what my body & soul have been through and therefore think the grays are a beautiful reminder of very hard times that we (me & my hair) have survived. ❤

I’ve used Mayraki color restoring treatment and it really works, you get your original color back. But the plant extract in it leaves horrible stains on pillows and towels, so I’ve stopped using it. It might be worth using for people who wash their hair regularly (so you can apply it in the morning and rinse in the evening for example). My mom has great results with it too!

My great uncle had a doctor who was probably 50 and had all grey hair. She looked as though she was probably a blonde when younger but the way she styled it she looked great, I didn’t ask her age but she didn’t look as old as im sure she actually was. I think it’s easier for blonds to transition than brunettes but after it’s all grey, if you like it, rock it!

Hello Dr. Ellis, great video. I had always wondered what was going on with my grey hair. I started turning at 21 and am now 65. My grandmother turned all silver in her twenties as well. Since I grew out my silver hair 6 years ago, no offense silver sisters, I just can not get use to it and have tried to color it back to a light brown. My silver (white) does not take to color any more. Is there a reason? Thank you for your time!!

[@martham7198]

Great information! I just started to get a few gray hairs at 50 (I am 51) and luckily they blend in with my ash blonde hair pretty well. I heard glutathione supplementation was helpful in reducing oxidative stress and delaying grey hair and starting taking it about 5 years ago i can’t isolate my slowing to grey to glutathione because I also lead a healthy life except for stress but I have much less grey than my siblings who are around the same age as me. However my siblings both have darker hair, I wonder if Caucasians with darker hair are more prone to go grey earlier or if the contrast in color is just more noticeable?

I have also noticed that since I have reduced the amount of stress in my life that some of my hair has two inches of dark hair at the root, and six inches of grey at the bottom. I do want to try copper and zinc, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

[@tadmarshall2739]

My gray hair seems to have a two-shade process, where some hairs head towards white/clear and others are some untinted dark color ... neither matching the brown that I used to have. It seems as if there are two distinct processes going on. I would have expected "death of melanocytes" to have a more uniform color.

I moved from Turkey to Germany with hope to have better life but it was a wrong decision. Since moving in one year I lost a lot of hair and my hair colour turned gray. The big reason was climate change, social environment change, loneliness, different cultures and moral values. I lose my motivation for workout and get lazy person so I gained weight and my body changed, hence I don’t suit in my old clothes. However, after my Bali holiday I started planning my life again and willing change my routine and get again self confident and love my body. I recognised that my hair loss stopped. Now I hope my hair colour will reverse. A long term holiday was the solution for me.

Hi Dr. Ellis, what a great video! I’m going to be 40 next week (but at least at the beginning of COVID was still getting carded for R-rated movies!); still, I’m obsessed with delaying my greying. It seems to be the one telltale sign that I may not be a teenager anymore. I have dark almost black hair. Permanent dyes are always an option, but I love the look of highlights, specifically balayage, which is hard to camouflage with all the stray silvers. My current stylist recommends holding off on permanent dyes (using the Demi-permanent options) for as long as possible. It still kind of sucks. Demi-permanent doesn’t take away from the greys at all. I have been trying Arey (both the supplement and the topical spray), but don’t know if they have made any difference. Time will tell, but hopefully science comes up with new innovations soon!

When I was younger I had a mixture of blond, brown and red in my hair. Now it’s mostly dark brown and a bit of grey sprinkled in lol. My gram took an iron supplement back in the early 2000s (she was in her late 70s at the time and her hair got darker, she still had mostly grey and white but I noticed in the back it was almost brown rather than grey. I had an aunt who was battling cancer in 2018/2019 and after chemo her naturally white blonde hair grew back a light brown/dirty blonde color and was curly. She had extremely straight hair before that. My dad (aunts brother) didn’t go grey as he aged but his hair darkened from white blond to a darker yellow, he was a smoker as well and his hair receded a bit but he never had grey (he passed at 51, so he didn’t make it to senior hair).

A large number of my middle school students are getting a noticeable amount of gray hair and all of them are of mainly Samoan descent and some with Hawaiian/Samoan descent.

I started seeing grey hair in my 50s, although my natural color was still dominant. I decided not to dye it anymore in my late 50s. I started eating keto then carnivore in my early 60's. Now at 66, my hair is less grey than it was before I changed my diet. That has been pretty amazing. I have read commentary on many keto/ carnivore videos that others have had a similar experience. I did up my protein and fat consumption significantly, which may be contributing to this.

This is fascinating!

[@csstudio3648]

Some days I feel like it ages me 😩 and some days I want to switch up the color and do something fun but I do think no dye for so many years has made my hair the healthiest it’s been in years

Why do some people I know who are 85 and up have no grey hair? TY.

[@marilyn.g]

Ive noticed that i have white hairs and then turns black abd then white, and looks like i dye it like that

[@MrCubansurfer]

There’s a Spartan shampoo that actually reverses grey hair. It takes 3-4 months to see a difference but it does work! It’s a round bar of soap that lathers nicely. I highly recommend it!!!

What is your lip color combo here? Stunning 😍

I had very heavy periods for months. My red blood cells and iron levels were so low I was anemic. My hair was shedding like crazy and turning grey. I’m 5 weeks post op from a hysterectomy so I’m wondering if I can reverse both. I’ve heard Spermadine can help so I just started taking that.

[@Squid893]

I swear I thought you had posted a video about led therapy and how that could possibly help with greying. Is there any truth / studies to that?

[@user-ij4tg9ne3t]

Dr Sam Ellis I ask a question why early hair a white in age of 16 ya 20 what is reason behind that please tell me Sam Ellis response

[@Tdragonfly]

How do I make it go grey faster? I’d prefer it over my salt and pepper hair

[@jackiaddington5186]

I had my first gray hair at 16 years old. My mom went fully gray in her 50s. I'm 39 and have alot of gray. I'm not ready to stop coloring mine. We have started the lightening process though. I'm a dark brunette. I find the change in texture bothers me the most.

[@rachelmccalla2999]

I'm 32 with very very few grey hair, but I started taking omega 3s a few months ago. I did start to notice that the gray ones aren't so wiry anymore. I wonder if the omega helped?

[@bethwitschey5046]

I stopped coloring my hair as part of doing all I can think to help prevent dementia. I know of no studies linking hair dye to dementia but common sense tells me putting chemicals on my body can't be good for me. I started dyeing my blonde hair when it became more dishwater blonde rather than gray. I am now turning gray and embracing it.

[@erinbuxton6787]

By 25, I started noticing grays, as did every other 25-year-old friend I had. Because every single person I knew in their 20s was going gray (Gen Xers), I never thought of my 20s as premature graying. It was interesting that is considered premature?

[@ddextera]

I've been coloring my own hair for many years after being frustrated with the time and cost of salon color, my scalp stinging, the smell, and then often not being happy with the color. Originally I used L'oreal, which had a strong odor and was full of harsh chemicals. The more natural brand of hair color has almost no odor and doesn't sting my scalp at all. There are a couple natural brands available, not counting henna, I prefer NatureTint; -not sponsored, just aiming to save someone the trial and error I went through. I use 2 or 3 different colors to get highlights and lowlights like I had as a young kid. My hair color is similar to Dr Ellis. I use 7A for roots and 10 A for highlights, occasionally I'll use an 8A or 8N for roots and skip highlights. A = Ash = cooler tone, N = Neutral for a warmer tone, more strawberry blonde. This costs less than $20 every 6 - 8 weeks and takes about 90 minutes.

[@farinaaranguren1136]

Has anyone tried GR7?

[@THOUGHT52664]

Is there any chance we can treat / cure premature grey hair in near future ??

[@xdgs567z]

I tried eating healthier and exercising more while taking collagen

[@sewaynessamuel1787]

Dear Dr. This is really important video. I’m 52 years old and I a grey hair, what is the name that can use and the usage of it. Thanks dear ❤

[@hsnnsyd]

I used MAYRAKI before , bcz it says plant based ( im allergic to chemical hair dye) , but unfortunately I got very bad allergic reaction to it. I had excema on scalp , my hair stick together and smelly like pus just got popped.

[@user-yt8hm4oc5r]

[@HsuPyaePaing-lz6oc]

Hi! I'm just 14 but my hair is starting to go grey. What should I do?

[@sparre1659]

I have used Revitalash for hair--not lashes, and what regrew was my original dark brown! I am otherwise totally white!

[@julieellis6793]

Where do you get that for the hair? All I've found was for lashes

[@AllieAorta]

I’ve always had gray hair so the maintenance and cost of dyeing my hair seemed like too much. I’m seriously considering it has I’m getting older 😅

[@elenacjhuang]

My ex boss’s friend had premature gray hair during his early 20s. He went to see an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor, prescribed some Chinese herbal medicine, and completely reversed the gray hair

[@politereminder6284]

I'm 45. I've been greying for 15 years now, but whenever I drink onion juice shots for like a week, my few greys revert to dark brown like the rest of my hair. Dunno how long this will work for, but it seems to work. 🤷‍♀️

[@spicelandgirl]

Hello, Just stumbled across this video. I’m curious, my hair will start to turn gray and then all of a sudden will go back to its natural color. I’m 53 and still have the greatest amount of my hair as its natural color. Although there are certainly few strands of gray hair in there. I was just curious as to why, the strand would turn gray and then go back to. It’s natural color.

[@docp4449]

I got my first gray hair at 19. Then decided to go to medical school and now at 29 I have manyy grays throughout. They definitely multiplied rapidly in school so I can anecdotally confirm that stress is a strong factor 😅

[@sarikasinha]

GR-7 is a brand of gray hair reversing products including hair tonic, shampoo, and vitamins which have helped my hair immensely over the last 6 months (I'm almost 39 and started going gray at 26) and nothing worked until now. That's why I found Dr. Ellis' statement at 5:58 very validating. Really informative video, thank you!

[@Perizada]

My hair started going grey when I was twenty nine by the time I was thirty five it was noticeable and I started dying my hair then. I hate the grey hair it's just not me I like having mid brown / auburn hair that's how I feel comfortable

[@dixiechic60]

My grandfather was in his 90s, and my mother was in her 70s when they passed away and had hardly any gray. I'm 64 and I have a ton of gray. My mothers mother, she had beautiful white hair.

[@eliseraifman4766]

I had my first gray hair at 15 years old! I’m 64 now and embraced my gray hair quite a few years ago. I have long curly gray hair and am told that I look more youthful with the gray. Yes, silver sisters unite!

[@user-sk7wt2nb2l]

L'Oreal Excellence Cream #7 Dark Blonde is my fix for gray hair. I color my hair so I van look younger.

[@Nah-ah]

I’m 40 and have about 10 white hairs! Just sprouted out over the last 1-2 yrs 😄

[@yellowrose13]

I started graying while on accutane for a year at 31 but I've been off it for a year now and the grays haven't fallen out. We forget it's a cancer drug.

[@antonioricardo6004]

I have been pulling my few white hair for decades, with no issues .

[@okaySam]

don't do that

[@zetrader]

What about He Shou Wu also called Fo-Ti?

[@connie473]

My dad is 75 and he barely has any grays (and has still quite a bit of hair all over). People used to ask him if he dyed his hair when he is in his 50s and 60s

[@sophieschoices9663]

Thats interesting and quite rare I would think! Whats his diet like??
