If family members went grey early, you may notice silver hairs sooner, but other factors like lifestyle or environmental stress can play a role too.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160151633\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can your diet cause you to get grey hair?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, a diet low in vitamin B12, copper or iron can contribute to premature greying. Vegan diets often lack B12, so including green leafy vegetables and nuts may help maintain hair pigment.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160151634\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">When should you start colouring grey hairs?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Consider colouring when you reach around 20-30% grey. At that stage, covering up with spot treatments becomes less manageable, but there is no obligation to colour your hair at all if you prefer your natural look.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160151635\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the best way to cover up clustered grey hairs?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Use a spray-in root concealer for a quick fix before your next salon visit. For thicker or more stubborn greys, a semi-permanent or permanent dye applied by your stylist may work better.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766160151636\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is plucking out grey hairs a good idea?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Plucking out grey hairs is not recommended because it can traumatise the hair follicle.

Low vitamin B12 levels (often found in a vegan diet), as well as copper and iron deficiency can affect hair pigment. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollandandbarrett.com\/the-health-hub\/can-keep-grey-hairs-bay\/\">Get to know your vitamins<\/a>, to see if they could fend off greys &ndash; green leafy veg, and nuts come recommended too.

There&rsquo;s no reason to feel like you should colour your hair at all &ndash; you do you, white streaks and all. But, if you are keen to colour, wait until you&rsquo;re around 20-30% grey (that&rsquo;s when it&rsquo;ll prove a little less manageable to do &lsquo;spot&rsquo; cover ups).<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":33604},{"block_title":"What if my greys are clustered together?","block_content":"<p>If you&rsquo;d like to hide a patch before your next salon trip, invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loreal-paris.co.uk\/products\/hair-colour\/root-touch-up\/magic-retouch-brown\">spray-in root concealer<\/a> &ndash; it should stay put until you wash your hair. Otherwise, ask your hair stylist to apply semi-permanent dye right on the spot.
