Brilio.net - Various signs of aging will begin to appear when a person enters old age. Some of the signs of aging in question are sagging skin, wrinkles, and the appearance of gray hair. The presence of gray hair on the head is quite disturbing to the appearance, so many people overcome it by dyeing their hair.
Not a few choose the instant method of using sachet polish products on the market that contain chemicals in them. In fact, if done for a long period of time, the sachet polish will actually damage hair health. The reason is, hair will easily become brittle, dry and tangled.
Gray hair itself is a common condition and must be experienced by everyone when they enter old age. Usually gray hair will grow in someone aged 30 years and over. Even so, it does not rule out the possibility that gray hair can also grow in people who are still teenagers.
Not without reason, this condition occurs due to several factors, such as genetics, hormones, certain diseases, too often using styling tools that are too hot and changing hair color, the effects of stress, and certain diseases.
Apart from aging factors, these various factors will damage melanin production in hair follicles , so that the growing hair strands do not get perfect pigment. This is what causes gray hair to have a grayish white color.
Maybe for some people the appearance of gray hair is not a significant problem. However, for others, gray hair on the head can reduce self-confidence, so many are looking for ways to disguise it. So, if you are afraid that your hair will be damaged by using sachet polish, you can use natural ingredients.
Like the upload from a TikTok user with the account name @pameteexplica, who actually only uses 1 drink ingredient. The drink ingredient in question is black tea.

Contains black tea to disguise the appearance of gray hair.
Black tea can increase melanin and keratin in the hair strands so that it can restore the hair's natural pigment. Apart from that, this tea is also effective in covering the color of gray hair that has grown, so it can disguise the appearance of gray hair so that it returns to even black. The dark pigment from black tea can be a natural dye to disguise gray hair so it looks darker.
Reporting from Healthline, the caffeine in black tea is also believed to be able to reach hair follicles and prevent DHT, which is a hormone that plays a role in hair loss in people suffering from baldness. Not only that, the high antioxidant content in it can also reduce stress which is one of the causes of premature gray hair growth.
With just black tea, you can make a hair blackening mask that is effective in disguising the appearance of gray hair. Regular use will also make hair stronger and fall-free. Here's how to make and use it, as reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @pameteexplica, Thursday (16/5).
