Why do some people get grey hair at a young age?

Grey hair isn't just a sign of aging. It can also be caused by genetic factors, stress, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, or underlying health issues. Even young people can start developing grey strands if these factors are at play.

Can scalp massage really help get rid of grey hair?

Yes. Scalp massage improves blood circulation in the scalp, allowing hair to receive more nutrients, which can help reduce grey hair caused by nutritional deficiencies. You can gently tap or press your scalp using your fingertips, especially around the crown of the head where the “Baihui” acupoint is located. This point helps boost energy flow and circulation to the scalp. Try using gentle pressure and small movements to “lift” and stimulate the scalp daily.

What foods help reduce or reverse grey hair?

According to traditional Chinese medicine, “the kidney stores essence and its manifestation is in the hair,” and “the liver stores blood, and hair is nourished by blood.” So when liver and kidney essence is deficient, hair lacks nourishment and loses its color. TCM recommends eating black-colored foods that nourish the kidneys—such as black beans, spinach, black sesame, black dates, red dates, kelp, nori, and black fungus. In addition, a balanced diet rich in iron and copper helps support melanin production. Foods like seaweed, legumes, and dried fruits are great choices to help prevent or reduce grey hair.

Is it true that pulling out one grey hair causes three more to grow?

No, that's a myth without scientific basis. However, pulling hair can inflame the scalp and damage the follicles, potentially worsening hair loss and affecting the health of surrounding hair. If you spot grey strands, it’s better to snip them close to the scalp rather than pulling them out.

Are there any recommended hair regrowth treatments for grey hair?

Yes. The Perfect Medical F8 Hair Regrowth Treatment uses medical-grade low-level laser therapy to penetrate the scalp and directly energize the hair follicles, especially the melanin-producing cells. This activates and revives the follicles, restoring healthy hair growth and promoting darker, thicker strands. The F8 treatment follows a three-step protocol—Nourish, Revive, and Regrow—cleansing the scalp, introducing powerful growth factors, and stimulating stem cells to regenerate skin and improve scalp health, helping to prevent and reduce grey hair from the root cause.
