Brilio.net - Aging is not only marked by the appearance of fine lines. However, signs of aging can also be seen from changes in hair from black to white or gray. Although it often appears as a sign of aging, gray hair can also appear at a young age.

Behind that, the process of forming gray hair is closely related to the production of melanin (the pigment that gives color to hair, skin and eyes). You need to know, melanin is produced by special cells called melanocytes. When melanin production decreases or stops, the hair that grows has no color and looks gray or white.

The occurrence of gray hair is influenced by several factors, such as genetics. This condition plays an important role in determining when a person will start graying. If your parents or grandparents had gray hair at a certain age, chances are you will also experience the same thing at that age.

Apart from being caused by genetics, other factors such as prolonged stress can accelerate the appearance of gray hair . Chronic stress can affect melanin production, although the mechanisms are not fully understood. In addition, unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking and poor diet can also contribute to premature graying.

Then excessive exposure to sunlight can also trigger the appearance of gray hair. This is because exposure to UV rays can damage melanocytes, thereby reducing their ability to produce melanin.

That is the cause of gray hair. Giving an unattractive appearance, it's no wonder that many people are looking for ways to get rid of gray hair. There is one way to get rid of gray hair that you can use, namely using hair tonic made from natural ingredients.

A beauty vlogger with the YouTube channel @oastyles makes hair tonic from tea. Tea, whether black tea, green tea or herbal tea, is known to have various health benefits. One of the benefits that is often discussed is its potential in treating gray hair or preventing gray hair.

Tea contains antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids. Launching from healthline.com, Wednesday (29/5) this antioxidant helps fight free radicals which can damage cells including melanocytes which are responsible for melanin production. By protecting melanocytes from damage, melanin production can be maintained longer, thereby reducing the risk of gray hair.

Green tea contains catechins which can increase blood circulation to hair follicles. The catechin content can help stimulate hair growth and maintain natural hair color for longer. Good blood circulation ensures that hair follicles get enough nutrition to stay healthy.

Black tea is often used as a natural hair dye. The tannin content in black tea can give hair a darker color, which can help disguise gray hair. Rinsing your hair with black tea regularly can provide natural-looking results without using harsh chemicals that can damage your hair.

In addition, tea contains vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin B complex which are important for healthy hair. These nutrients help maintain healthy scalp and hair follicles, which plays a role in maintaining natural hair color.

These are the benefits of tea that can be used to remove gray hair. So how do you make and use it? For those of you who want to try, let's look at the information below as reported by briliobeauty.net from the YouTube channel @oastyles, Wednesday (29/5).
