Hi, my age is 27. There is a massive increase of white hair in my head within 3 to 4 months. What can be the reason and what are the possible treatments to change the colour of hair from white to black?

Ans: Change in water, any chemical treatment on the body, hormonal change, any deep stress, could be the reason for greying at this age. You can try the age old remedy of applying amla water, or onion juice on your scalp to reduce the greying. Please feel free to write back with complete details.

Hello Dr Jain.I am 41 years old and I have had grey hair since I was 14 years old.I apply mehendi (henna) from childhood on my hair.Is there any solution to grow black hair, if possible?Is there any other option other than mehendi? I am afraid of using dyes as it may affect my remaining black hair.Please help.Regards,Madhuri Shinde
Ans:

Hi Madhuri

You get grey hair when your hair loses the pigment called melanin. Though the cause is genetic in most, you can also get premature greying due to different causes that include:

  • Stress
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Antimalarial drugs
  • Chronic illness
  • Nutritional deficiencies

It would have been great if you had started taking treatment in your teens, when your hair started to grey.

Nevertheless, you can still slow down the process of greying and have healthy hair at the same time.

There are medicated treatments to prevent greying of hair. Before you consider them, do get evaluated by a good dermatologist. They will recommend a blood test so that they can evaluate your condition and suggest appropriate treatment.

Meanwhile, this is what you can do.

  • Ensure you consume a good diet that is rich in Vitamin B12, proteins and other nutrients.
  • A multivitamin pill can also be a good support.
  • Avoid too much exposure to heat as it can damage hair tissue.
  • Antioxidants form the mainstay of your treatment so you can take an antioxidant pill. You can also get good antioxidants from your diet.

Foods that help reduce greying:

  • Green leafy vegetables
  • Mushrooms
  • Blueberries
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Oysters

If you wish to colour your grey hair, use good quality mehendi or ammonia free hair dyes.

I scored 96 percentile in JEE mains and got 60K rank in general list and 18K in OBC-NCL list. I gave MHCET also but I don't think I will score good enough because I did not prepare well. Same for jee advanced also.. I don't have any solid interest in like CS or other branches. Like I have not explored yet. But I certainly like hacking and coding sort of but not sure which college and which branch to choose. Please advice and help
Ans: With a JEE Main OBC-NCL rank of 18,000, you can secure ECE, IT, or allied branches at mid-tier NITs like NIT Durgapur (ECE closing rank: ~23,000) or NIT Agartala (IT cutoff: ~25,000). For cybersecurity/coding interests, target IIITs such as IIITDM Kancheepuram (IoT/ECE cutoff: ~27,634) or IIIT Bhagalpur (CSE cutoff: ~77,139 OBC), which offer niche specializations. If MHCET scores are low, prioritize JoSAA counseling for NITs/IIITs over state exams. Consider CSE/IT at VIT-AP (VITEEE rank-dependent) or SRM Kattankulathur (Software Engineering) via institutional quotas, which provide coding-focused curricula and cybersecurity electives. Explore ECE/IT branches in colleges like NIT Raipur (OBC cutoff: ~55,150) for foundational skills in embedded systems/networking, aligning with hacking prerequisites (Python, Linux). If unsure about core branches, opt for Mathematics & Computing at NIT Rourkela (closing rank: ~9,500) or Integrated M.Sc. programs for flexibility. Supplement academics with certifications (CEH, OSCP) and hackathons to build expertise. Avoid less-structured programs; prioritize institutes with industry tie-ups (Cisco, IBM) for internships in cybersecurity roles. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
