Brilio.net - Changes in hair color are a natural thing that commonly happens to everyone. More so when age has entered twilight which is marked by the appearance of gray hair. However, this condition can also occur in those who are still young, you know. The appearance of gray hair in your 20s is called premature graying.
Premature gray hair is influenced by two important factors, first, namely stressful body conditions. This condition can trigger the release of certain hormones, which damage hair follicles. As a result, gray hair loses melanin quickly.
Meanwhile, the second factor is closely related to hair lacking nutrients, such as vitamins B12 and D, which can affect overall hair health.
This process of changing hair color (melanin) occurs in the hair follicles which are in the layers of the scalp. There are two types of melanin, namely eumelanin which produces black or brown, and pheomelanin which produces yellow or red.
In premature graying , several biological changes occur in it, such as a decrease in melanocyte activity. In this phase melanocytes become less active or die more quickly than they should. In addition, a buildup of hydrogen peroxide in the body can destroy melanin. This is what makes gray hair appear faster.
To prevent premature graying, you can treat it by using hair serum, which is made from natural ingredients, such as tea powder, curry leaves, black coffee and nigella seeds.
Tea powder contains antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which can fight free radicals that damage hair follicles. Reporting from timesofindia.indiatimes.com, Friday (2/2) the tannin content in this tea can help increase hair strength and elasticity, reduce the risk of damage and pigment loss.
Meanwhile, curry leaves contain vitamin B which can help stimulate hair growth and reduce the risk of premature graying. The mineral content, such as zinc and iron in curry leaves, can support hair health.
Black coffee contains antioxidants and caffeine which can stimulate blood circulation to hair follicles, promoting hair growth and preventing premature graying. This substance can provide strength to the hair shaft and reduce damage.
The last ingredient, namely nigella seed or black cumin, contains essential fatty acids which can make hair healthy. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant content can protect hair follicles from damage and inflammation.
