Brilio.net - As we know, hair changes color usually when someone reaches the age of 30 or above. Due to several factors, gray hair can appear at a young age, namely around 20 years.
White hair that appears at a young age or commonly known as premature graying is caused by several factors. The first is genetics that come from parents. Apart from that, if your grandmother or grandfather has a history of premature graying , it could happen to you.
The next factor comes from stress which can affect overall body health, including hair. Well, this stress can cause a decrease in melanin (the pigment that gives hair color) so that hair becomes white or gray.
Then deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, copper and zinc, can affect melanin production and cause gray hair. If you look at the factors above, you need to take care to prevent gray hair from appearing at a young age.
There is one way to prevent gray hair at a young age that you can use, namely using concoctions made from natural ingredients. This method is like that used by beauty vlogger with the YouTube channel @asmabeauty. In an upload on his YouTube channel, he uses kalonji seeds, amla powder, neem leaves and coffee .
Kalonji seeds, also known as black cumin, contain thymoquinone which helps stimulate hair follicles and promotes hair growth. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in kalonji seeds help reduce oxidative stress in hair follicles, which can prevent or reduce the formation of gray hair.
Reporting from healthshots.com, Wednesday (15/5) oil from kalonji seeds is rich in essential fatty acids which moisturize the scalp and hair, keeping hair strong and healthy. Amla is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants which help fight free radicals that can damage hair follicles and cause gray hair.
The nutritional content in amla helps strengthen hair roots and prevent hair loss. Amla also helps in softening hair and adding natural shine.
Neem has antibacterial and antifungal properties that keep the scalp free from infections that can cause hair loss and gray hair. Neem improves blood circulation in the scalp, which supports healthy hair growth. Neem is effective in treating dandruff, which can affect hair health and cause gray hair.
By using the ingredients above, you can prevent gray hair from appearing. So how do you make and use the concoction above? Below is a tutorial that you can follow as summarized by briliobeauty.net from the YouTube channel @asmabeauty, Saturday (18/5).
