Serums can help slow down or partially reverse premature greying in certain cases — but only when the cause is correctable and the hair follicle is still active. Here are the main situations where they may work effectively: 🧬 1. Nutritional or Deficiency-Related Greying If premature greying is due to deficiencies (like vitamin B12, biotin, copper, iron, or vitamin D3), serums enriched with these nutrients or actives that support melanocyte function can help. Effective ingredients: • Peptides (like Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20, Copper peptides) • Vitamin B12 or niacinamide–based scalp serums • Antioxidant serums with glutathione or catalase boosters 🩺 Result: Slows or slightly reverses greying when used with internal supplements. ⚖️ 2. Stress or Oxidative Damage–Induced Greying Chronic stress and free radical damage can inactivate melanocytes (pigment-producing cells). Effective ingredients: • Catalase enzyme (breaks down hydrogen peroxide buildup) • Melanin-stimulating actives (like Melitane™ / Greyverse™ peptides) • Plant antioxidants (green tea, ginseng, resveratrol) 🌿 Result: May restore pigment to newly growing hair if melanocytes are dormant but not destroyed. 🧪 3. Early-Stage Genetic Greying If the greying has just started (a few strands, not fully white roots), consistent use of melanin-activating peptide serums may prolong the pigment life. Effective actives: • Greyverse™ (Capixyl-like peptide that stimulates melanin production) • Darkenyl™ (antioxidant + peptide blend that revives pigment cells) 🕐 Result: Visible darkening over 3–6 months with regular use. 🚫 When Serums Don’t Work- Serums cannot reverse greying when: • The follicle’s melanocytes are completely destroyed • Hair has been white for a long time (years) • Greying is purely hereditary and not environmental or nutritional 🧴 In such cases: focus on prevention and protection — antioxidant scalp care, UV protection, internal nutrition, and stress management. #drshreyamunjral #skincare #prematuregreying #haircare
