I am a 45 years old man , practice vegetarian for 11 year since year of 2009. In recent years times, I found that greying hair is spreading around to moderate extent; about 35 percent of white hair which partly affected my individual image. There were a series of effort made by me in addressing these issue. 1 : applied blend onion to my scalp and warmly massage , believe to maximum absorption for 8 months . 2. Applied Amla India soup for 9 months time , end result hair itself can turned into Yellow color ; unable to restore melanin for grey hair reversing. 3. On line purchase Depo Melanin from US, which widely believed build up of grey hair due to excess of hydrogen peroxide, bleach hair into grey. 4. On line purchase HGH from US, friend was recommended there might be a chance for hair reversing, half bottle was used up no significant changes. 5. On line purchase 2 bottles of Phyto, France anti grey hair supplement, having used up 1.5 bottle . Grey hair is temporarily covered up but hair root still not improving. Short conclusion, 5 various efforts had made but result is not encouraging; what other ways can improve, is once body no longer in producing melanin, the hair follicle will permanently in color of grey. Deficiency B12 like egg will contribute to grey hair, can I have 4 white eggs, exclude egg yolk for daily consumption . Thanks
Hi Hee Jia Ting,
I can't say whether eating 4 egg whites a day will help your greys, or if it's a good idea nutritionally.
Definitely check in with a doctor or nutritionist before making that significant change to your diet.
You mention becoming a vegetarian coincided at least partly with the greying of your hair: some studies suggest that there is a link between the two:

From the research we looked at for this article, it looks like the causes behind hair greying are the best indicators of whether we can reverse it.
So while age-related greying (e.g., if your hair started to turn grey after your late 30s) is harder to reverse, nutrition-related greying has a better success rate.
If you're deficient in a specific nutrient that is linked to grey hair, then you have a good chance of being able to reverse the greys with supplements, but you should do this under the guidance of a physician.
One supplement not mentioned in the article is potassium PABA (K PABA). The evidence on it is limited, but it's interesting:
In one study (70 years ago) K PABA produced "subjective marked hair darkening" in all 50 study subjects with premature and age-related greying.
Here it is: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/94/2437/257
Another more recent study which only looked at age-related greying showed 35% improvement after up to 10 months.
However in another study (which combined calcium pantothenate with PABA), only 6% showed a definite colour change, which turned back to grey after they stopped taking the supplements.
There is also some exciting research around oxidative stress and hair greying. It indicates that if your grey hair is premature, antioxidant supplements might be able to help reverse it.
Here's the article:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7276162
Overall, the future looks bright in terms of being able to reverse greys, but we are still awaiting that reliable treatment that can work across the board on all types of hair greying.
Hope this helps in the meantime!
