Condition analysis:
Stress really can turn your hair grey. They have got to the root of how the ‘fight or flight chemical’ adrenaline causes damage that may eventually lead to a variety of conditions from the superficial, such as grey hair, to the serious, such as cancer. The research is still at an early stage but it could one day lead to drugs that help counter some of the medical problems caused by always being under pressure.

Instructions:
Herbs
Flavoring your food with the proper herbs is also beneficial to stopping gray hair in its tracks. According to World Of Hair's website, curry leaves are a proven method of staving off gray hair. Adding curry to your dishes for flavor plays a dual role in boosting melanocyte production, with shine being an added benefit. Curry leaves eaten whole are also an ideal way to ensure you benefit from the properties this herb holds. However, this spice may be too strong for some.

Minerals
Alongside vitamins, certain minerals provide hair health support. Evolution Hair Centers says iron and folic acid are two such minerals, aiding vitamins B12 and C in blood-cleansing abilities. Individuals with lower-than-normal levels of iron suffer a condition called anemia, which has adverse effects on your hair that include fading and dull appearance. Consuming green leafy vegetables, liver and whole grains will ensure iron and folic acid are present in your system at all times. 

Protein
Every nutritionally well-balanced diet should include a couple of 3 to 4 oz. servings of protein daily. Your hair is made of complex proteins that not only provide strength and growth, but also ensure vibrant color. According to World of Hair, lowered intake of proteins may actually promote graying. Lean meats, nuts and beans are just a few foods that are rich in proteins, while providing variety to your diet. Soy is another protein-packed food, providing a healthy alternative for those who avoid mass quantities of meat products.
