Article Abstract
Background: Hair symbolizes well-being and self-expression, with graying occurring naturally among different racial groups at varying ages. Premature graying has psychological and societal impacts, influencing self-esteem and quality of life. Gray hair usually advances gradually and is permanent, with occasional reports of natural repigmentation. Premature graying of hair (PMGH) results from a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and cellular factors.
Materials And Methods: Studies exploring links between gray hair and conditions such as osteopenia, hearing loss, smoking, obesity, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease have yielded mixed results. Despite continuous research into the causes of gray hair, effective, evidence-based treatments are lacking and still need to be improved.
Conclusion: Herein, we reviewed the causes, mechanisms, risk factors, psychosocial effects, and emerging therapies for PMGH.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the prevalence and predictors of premature graying of hair (PGH) in Saudi Arabia, revealing that over 55% of participants reported gray hair before turning 30 years old.
- - Key risk factors identified include younger age, smoking, various health conditions (like anxiety and depression), family history, and certain hair treatments or deficiencies.
- - The findings stress the importance of raising public awareness about PGH risk factors, suggesting health campaigns focused on smoking cessation, nutrition, and mental health to help prevent premature graying.
