The same factors that contribute to premature aging can also contribute to early greying. Excess oxidative stress can overwhelm the follicle’s natural antioxidant defenses, reducing pigment production (melanogenesis). As pigment production declines, the hair gradually loses color and appears grey. Oxidative stress may also aff ect other cells within the follicle, further contributing to changes in hair quality over time.
