If you are rocking the salt and pepper hair colour, congratulations on reaching this milestone! You're a strong man who can manage this slightly sombre milestone, but it's also not a major concern. "Going grey" is nothing to be ashamed of. Even if it happens in your twenties, trust us, you have worse awaiting you, like sore joints, forehead wrinkles, and a lonely grave.
However, if you are wary of the salt and pepper look, and wonder why there is premature greying of hair, there are some reasons that you might have missed!
You are not cleansing your scalp
The foundation of beautiful hair is a scalp that is clean and healthy. The way you take care of your hair may directly affect its colour. Completing even the most basic tasks is sufficient. Particularly if you reside in a sticky, humid metropolis, you should wash your hair rather often. Always use a hair type-specific shampoo and conditioner while washing your hair. Carefully read the ingredient list of the hair care products you purchase to ensure they do not contain any chemicals or fragrances that could cause your hair to fall out. Invest in mild products that will improve your hair's condition.
Your diet might be greying your hair
Your body's appearance, including your hair and skin, is influenced by the foods you consume. You may have heard this a million times, but it couldn't be more true. Certain vitamins and minerals may impact hair health, but if your diet is inconsistent or you frequently consume burgers and pizzas, you may not be consuming enough of them. One way to delay the onset of grey hairs is to eat a diet high in iron, zinc, B-complex vitamins, and vitamin E.
For the most part, you're anxious
In these highly competitive and ever-changing times, ‘relaxing’ is easier said than done. Life is full of stress for everyone. If you are noticing greying hair, the most important thing is to identify what stresses you and how to manage it. Does the thought of a work meeting make you anxious? To avoid pre-meeting anxiety, it's best to prepare ahead of time. Does planning a vacation cause you anxiety? After that, enlist the aid of your companion or a buddy to map out the schedule. Consult a therapist who specialises in stress management if the problem persists over time.
But what if you accept your new salt and pepper look? Congratulations on your self-acceptance! Here are some best ways to style and mane-tain your new hair!
Ace the salt and pepper look for men
Embrace it and stop plucking them!
Accepting one's age is a significant part of the process of going grey. If you want to keep your hair from looking grey, never pluck it; instead, dyeing or trimming is a better option. When you colour your hair, you mostly damage the shaft, but when you pluck it, you damage the follicle much more. Renewal of the shaft occurs naturally when new hair develops. Since reducing hair density isn't the ultimate goal, you should focus on caring for the follicle instead. Cutting them short is another option to keep them out of sight; after all, dyeing a single hair seems excessive.
Try a new hair wash and conditioner
Even if you have a long way to go before your hair looks like Anderson Cooper's, you should probably get a new shampoo and conditioner. If you replace your few grey hairs with something brightening, they'll stay vivid. Put simply, they will seem more shiny than matte. Then, as your grey hairs become more numerous, you'll get used to lightening them without affecting your naturally red, brown, black, or blonde hair in any way.
Dye lightly if you must
You're considering a dye job, even though it may be premature. To spot-colour a few tiny patches, just match your tone with one of the many possibilities available at grocery stores. Another option is to experiment with different salt and pepper tones until you find a shade that suits you. For example, you may choose Loreal or Paradyes, which progressively colourises the greys to blend in with your natural colour in a subtle way that others won't notice every day.

Get a proper cut
Make a clean cut first. If you want your silver strands to stand out, experts say getting a professional cut is the first step. Discovering a hairstyle that brings out your hair's natural colour is crucial; a well-cut and groomed head of hair may be remarkable. Consult your hairdresser for advice on what cut will complement your hair's natural colour. You can choose from a wide range of greyscale tones. When your hair is entirely white with a warm golden or blonde undertone, a gentle style will look wonderful. In a similar vein, a shortcut with sharp lines brings out the best in dark grey hair.
