The appearance of the first hairs is rarely good news. But, some people experience it more or less well. So, whether you want to camouflage your gray hair, slow down its development or if you take it into the open, we will see in this article the means that exist to meet the desires of each and every one. So we will see what to do when you have white hair at 33. First we will discuss the causes of hair bleaching at 33. We will then discuss the possibilities that can be applied to deal more calmly with the arrival of gray hair.

Why do I have white hair at 33?

The phenomenon of hair bleaching cannot be avoided. This phenomenon is called canities. This is a 100% natural process that occurs as soon as the melanocytes, the cells that are responsible for giving color to the hair, lower or stop their production of melanin. To explain it another way, your hair is still growing, but without pigmentation and therefore without coloring. Your hair will then turn graying or white. At around 30 years of age, this phenomenon usually happens, and it will develop slowly over time and more or less rapidly depending on the individual.

Indeed, the development of the very first white hairs is found near the age of thirty-five and is likely to vary by plus or minus 10 years. This is an average, the individual reality is quite different. The appearance of white or gray hair varies from person to person and depends on genetics, and also on internal or external parameters. So, what are the different causes that can lead to your gray hair becoming 33 years old?

1- The appearance of gray hair at age 33 is in most cases due to natural aging

As we have discussed, gray hair at age 33 grows quite simply because the melanocytes no longer work well enough to produce pigmentation. Of all the factors that you will find below that are able to explain sudden onset of gray hair, you should know that the cause of the body's natural aging is the most plausible cause at the age of 33 . Indeed, melanocytes which no longer function very well are simply the result of aging. As for the body or the skin, the disparities between individuals on aging are difficult to explain. It is therefore normal not to be egalitarian in the aging process and that some are gray hair faster than others.

2 - Heredity can be the cause of the development of gray hair at 33 years old

The bleaching of the hair at a certain age will usually depend simply on the genetic makeup and therefore of theDNA. To validate this, you can check if your close family members have been through the same path as you. In other words, at what age did your parents or grandparents' first white hair appear? Many times you will find that your hair starts to turn white at around the same age. So it's written in your DNA and it makes sense that you have gray hair at 33.

3 - A poor lifestyle is likely to cause gray hair to appear more prematurely

As we have seen, at the age of 33 it is not surprising to have white hair. However, from chronic stress, a bad nutrition et smoking are likely to be so many factors responsible for the arrival of gray hair at 33 years.

4 - An emotional shock can lead to the sudden appearance of gray hair at 33 years old

A major emotional shock such as death or a serious accident is likely to cause the appearance of gray hair suddenly and in large quantities at 33 years. Indeed, as a consequence of a traumatic psychological shock or after a significant stress, the immune defense system of our body would change the functioning of a certain number of cells and would consequently develop white hair.

This phenomenon is called the sudden canities. However do not worry, the rumors that gray hair can appear overnight are completely unfounded. Canities will happen faster than if you hadn't had an emotional shock, but it does not appear overnight.

What should I do when I have gray hair at 33?

• White hair that grows suddenly can be a warning that your body is lacking various nutrients and deficiencies in vitamins, such as B vitamins, essential fatty acids, minerals such as copper, zinc and iron and trace elements. We recommend that you favor the consumption of fresh food, and avoid fast food and junk food at all costs. Indeed, industrial products are full of toxic components. As soon as the liver is saturated, the organ which cleans the body, can no longer eliminate toxins and this leads to premature aging and the development of white hair.
• Le copper is essential in the transmission of color to the hair. Indeed, know that melanin is generated by melanocytes thanks to the enzyme tyrosinase. And it is copper that catalyzes this enzymatic reaction. Therefore, a balanced diet that provides the right daily dose of copper helps prevent the development of gray hair early. Be careful, however, copper turns out to be toxic if you take too much daily! Take a blood test to check your copper level.
• Finally, B vitamins are found to be necessary to prevent premature aging of the body and to provide energy to the body. Therefore, eat foods rich in B vitamins. In the event that you are a vegetarian or vegan, you will need to consider taking supplements for vitamin B12 in particular.

• Le tobacco is well known to accelerate the aging of skin and hair. It affects the hair follicles and that is why it causes premature aging of the hair. If you are in a smoking environment, make sure you are as far as possible from the smoke. In case you are a smoker, try to reduce your consumption as much as you can.

• Le stress accelerates the phenomenon of cell oxidation and therefore causes premature aging of the body. It can also cause inflammation which reduces the production of melanin. The hair is also affected by these concerns and turns white faster than it should be. We are aware that it is not easy to manage your stress, however try to adopt techniques against stress or find activities that relax you.
