Brilio.net - The appearance of gray hair on the scalp is not only a problem for those over 40 years old. This condition can also be felt by those who are still in their 20s.

Of course, this phenomenon doesn't just happen, there are factors that influence the appearance of gray hair . One of them is excessive stress. Stressful body conditions indirectly affect the health of your hair. Stress can trigger the release of certain hormones that affect the hair growth cycle and melanin production.

Meanwhile, the process of graying begins with the melanin pigment starting to decline. You need to know that the natural color of hair is determined by the melanin pigment produced by melanocytes in the hair follicles.

There are two types of melanin that play a role in the formation of hair color, such as eumelanin which produces black and brown. Then there is pheomelanin which produces yellow and red colors. When you enter the aging phase, melanin production gradually decreases and causes hair to lose its color.

Apart from being caused by natural melanin production, the growth of gray hair is also caused by damage to melanocyte cells. This condition usually occurs because hair is exposed too often to sunlight and free radicals. This effect can inhibit melanin production and accelerate the appearance of gray hair.

The appearance of gray hair may make you feel uncomfortable and want to disguise it. If people usually dye their hair, you don't need to do that. Just apply a hair mask.

One beauty vlogger makes her own hair mask product from natural ingredients, such as flaxseed or hemp seeds, and almond oil.

Flaxseed or flaxseed is a natural ingredient that contains omega-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Omega-3 fatty acids are important for healthy hair because they help maintain a healthy scalp and are believed to prevent gray hair.

The anti-inflammatory properties of flax seeds are useful for reducing inflammation. Even the vitamin E, vitamin B, magnesium and zinc content in flax seeds is useful for increasing hair growth.

Meanwhile, almond oil in a hair mask can be used as a natural moisturizer. Not without reason, almond oil contains vitamin E which is high in antioxidants. Apart from that, this content is also useful in warding off free radicals, so it is believed to prevent hair aging.
