Dr. Martin Adejo, a medical expert, has debunked the belief that grey hair is only for the aged.
Responding to the News Agency of Nigeria’s survey on grey hair in Jos on Friday, Adejo attributed grey hair in people to genetics, stress, disease, and deficiency of vitamins.
He said that some people could have grey hair very early in life from their primary or post-primary schools but that did not imply they were diseased.
“I said earlier, grey hair on young people could be as a result of genetic trend, stress due to type of life or work engaged in by the young person, lack of vitamins or disease. To be cock sure, medical checks are needed,” he said.
The medical doctor further said that the growing of grey hair should not be a worrisome trait to anyone once medically certified sound, adding that people should take the growth as a new trend.
“Getting worried over growing grey hair is not a solution but attitudinal change to accept the growth as fashion trend and enjoy their looks,” he advised.
