Brilio.net - Gray hair is a normal thing experienced by everyone when they enter old age. This condition is characterized by the appearance of white strands of hair which will increase in number with age. Usually gray hair will start to appear at the age of 30 years and over. However, it does not rule out the possibility that gray hair can also appear during adolescence or at a young age.
The appearance of gray hair is caused by a decrease in melanin levels in the hair follicles. Even though melanin has an important role in providing dark pigment to hair. Due to decreased melanin levels, the growing hair strands do not get perfect pigment. This is what makes gray hair have a grayish white color.
Apart from aging, gray hair can also appear due to several other factors. Such as genetics, hormonal changes, frequent styling using heating tools and chemical dyes, and an unhealthy lifestyle. Having gray hair can be quite disturbing to some people's appearance. It's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to turn gray hair back to black.
Many people overcome this by getting a polish at the salon. Even though it is effective, if you do it too often your hair will be susceptible to damage due to the chemicals contained in polish products. Another solution, you can use natural ingredients to treat gray hair so it turns black again.
