- Abstract
The author discusses studies regarding canities praecox or the graying of hair, which has been concluded by some researchers as a combination of reactive oxygen species that are associated with damage to sensitive hair follicle melanocytes. Topics discussed include the increased rate of canities conditions that cause premature graying such as phenylketonuria, drugs that reverse canities such as carbidopa and diazoxide, and the natural change of hair color.
