How to Address Grey Hair in Eyebrows and Facial Hair: Natural and Effective Solutions
Apr 21, 2025 | By Maria
It is common for hair to turn grey with age, but for some, greying in the eyebrows and beard happens earlier than expected. Aside from the natural aging process, several other factors contribute to this, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, and genetic predisposition.
Many people want to maintain their natural hair color, especially on the face, as it significantly impacts confidence and overall appearance. In this article, we will discuss why facial hair and eyebrows turn grey and explore natural and effective ways to restore their color.
Why Does Facial Hair Turn Grey?
Natural Aging Process
Over time, melanin production decreases. Melanin is the pigment responsible for hair color. This is the primary reason why hair on the scalp, face, and other areas turns grey. However, there are times when melanin production stops or decreases because of other factors.
Genetics
If premature greying runs in your family, there is a high chance you will experience it in your eyebrows and beard as well.
Stress and Lifestyle
Chronic stress can cause oxidative stress, which negatively affects melanin production. Poor diet, smoking, and lack of rest are also factors that can accelerate greying.
Environmental Exposure
Pollution, UV rays, and exposure to harsh chemicals from beauty products can damage hair follicles and lead to premature greying. This can also lead to poor absorption of nutrition which can turn hair cells dormant and prevent healthy melanin production.
Are Eyebrows and Beards More Prone to Early Greying?
Facial hair turns grey faster than scalp hair due to its shorter growth cycle. Beards and eyebrows have a faster hair turnover, making the effects of greying more noticeable. Additionally, pigment cells in facial hair are more sensitive than those in the scalp, making them more susceptible to stress and oxidative damage.
Conventional vs. Natural Solutions
Temporary Fixes
One of the most common solutions for grey eyebrows and beards is using eyebrow pencils or mascara. While quick and easy, these methods provide only a temporary fix. Hair dyeing is another option, but it often contains harsh chemicals that can damage facial hair.
Natural and Restorative Treatments
Instead of temporary fixes, it’s better to use anti-greying serums that help restore the natural pigment of hair. Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals can also boost melanin production. Additionally, a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition, rest, and stress management can help prevent premature greying.

Our best natural solution is the Mayraki Anti-Grey Hair Color Restoring Treatment. Containing botanical extracts and peptides that help stimulate melanin production, this restores the natural color of facial hair. Free of any harmful chemicals, it’s safe to use regularly and will nourish your hairs at the same time while restoring your natural hair color.
Key Ingredients of Mayraki Anti-Grey Hair Color Restoring Treatment
Glyceryl Stearate
Glyceryl Stearate is the product of a chemical reaction between glycerin and stearic acid. Glycerin is a well-known ingredient in most products as it is a natural humectant that helps draw moisture into your hair and keep it there while stearic acid is a fatty acid compound that can help strengthen and moisturize hair. Combined, the two create a substance that not only nourishes the hair but also gives the product a creamy consistency.
Propylene Glycol
Propylene Glycol is another humectant that helps moisturize the hair and keep the hydration in. Your hair needs a lot more moisture than you think it needs and it can never have too much nourishment and hydration!
Castor Oil
Castor oil is famous for its numerous hair benefits and is often used as a natural home remedy. This ingredient will help moisturize both the scalp and hair, prevent flakiness or dandruff, and promote healthy hair growth. Besides its nourishing properties that will help improve your hair’s overall appearance and health, it will also hasten regrowth of newly pigmented strands that will replace gray hairs with hairs that are your original hair color.
Polygonum Multiflorum
Our MVP ingredient! This ingredient comes from a plant native to Southern China and has been used as a traditional remedy for thousands of years. Polygonum Multiflorum has been proven to help with melanin production at the bulb of the hair and support the repigmentation of growing hairs. This will effectively diminish gray hairs and bring back your hair’s natural color.
Biota Orientalis Leaf
Another ingredient used in traditional Chinese medicine and known for its antibacterial properties and hair restoring benefits. It helps suppress any excess sebum production that might cause the scalp and hair some irritation and chemical imbalances that lead to hair loss.
Carthamus Tinctorius
Carthamus Tinctorius boasts effective promotion of hair growth and prevention of the production of a hormone called DHT or Dihydrotestosterone that causes significant hair loss in both men and women. Its hair growing properties help to hasten the replacement of gray hairs with repigmented hairs.
Ligustrum Lucidum Extract
Yet another ingredient that is used in traditional Chinese medicine because of its hair growth and anti-hair loss properties. This will further speed up the growth process of your repigmented hairs and promote healthy hair regrowth rate.
How to Prevent or Delay Greying of Facial Hair
Proper Nutrition
Eating foods rich in Vitamin B12, Copper, and Antioxidants helps maintain natural hair pigment. Choose whole foods that provide a lot of nutrition and avoid empty or junk foods. Go for proteins, fruits, and veggies.
Scalp and Facial Massage
Massaging the scalp and face improves blood circulation, which is essential for stimulating hair follicles. This helps provide more oxygen under the skin which hair needs to grow. Faster growth helps replace gray hairs with healthy, pigmented hairs.
Stress Management
Stress can cause major complications in the body including accelerated signs of aging like graying. Manage your stress accordingly by practicing self-care rituals. Make some time to relax and unwind, exercise, meditate, and spend time doing things you enjoy.
Gentle Grooming Habits
Use mild shampoos and conditioners to prevent damage to facial hair. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may cause irritation or weaken hair follicles. Make sure to always be gentle on your face and scalp as they are very sensitive areas.
