Does colouring your hair lead to greying?

Does colouring your hair actually lead to greying, or is it just a myth stopping you from achieving that hair makeover of your dreams? Ironically, the answer isn't black or white—it lies somewhere in the grey.

“New hair, new me” — they say it for a reason! Colouring your hair is one of the best ways to embrace a makeover. Like your overall style, your hair colour is also an expression of your personality. While some go bold with vibrant shades (think pink, green, or blue), others prefer the timeless elegance of natural browns or the glamorous allure of mahogany. The colour options are endless, and so is the variety of products available to choose from.However, despite the excitement of choosing a new shade, there's often a lingering concern associated with hair colouring — premature greying. A common perception, especially among Indian households, suggests that altering one’s natural hair colour with dyes or chemical products inevitably leads to greying. This belief has been around for years, leading many to be resolute in their avoidance of hair colour. Doesn't it remind you of that time your parents sternly warned you not to “ruin” your tresses by colouring them in your 20s?
