Brilio.net - The appearance of gray hair is often considered a problem that interferes with appearance for a number of people. Especially if gray hair is starting to appear a lot, this condition can reduce self-confidence. Especially when carrying out daily activities. Not only that, white hair can also make people worried if it appears at a young age.
Indeed, gray hair does not only occur as you get older, certain factors make gray hair appear quickly. One of them is excessive stress caused by free radicals. Environmental pollution can also speed up the process of gray hair.
Apart from stress factors, genetics also plays a big role in determining when a person starts getting gray hair. If your parents or close family members have a history of premature graying, chances are you will also experience the same thing.
The appearance of gray hair is also caused by a lack of nutrients, such as vitamin B12, folic acid and copper. To replenish these nutrients, you can get them from natural ingredients that are processed into hair polish.
The method above is done by a YouTuber with the account name @samyukthadiares. By uploading a video, he uses one drink ingredient, namely coffee mixed with chocolate powder. These two natural ingredients have their own benefits for hair health, such as covering gray hair.
Reporting from healthline.com, Friday (17/5) black coffee powder contains strong antioxidants, such as chlorogenic acid which can fight free radicals and oxidative stress. This ability can protect melanocytes and slow down the decline in melanin production which can prevent the appearance of gray hair.
The caffeine content in black coffee can also increase blood circulation to the scalp and improve the supply of nutrients to hair follicles. Caffeine will maintain healthy hair and prevent premature aging of hair.
Black coffee grounds have a coarse texture which is used as a natural scrub to remove dead skin cells from the scalp. Therefore, coffee can promote healthy hair growth and reduce the risk of graying.
Like black coffee powder, cocoa powder is also rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids, polyphenols and catechins, which fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. All of these ingredients can protect melanocytes and maintain melanin production to prevent gray hair.
Apart from that, cocoa powder is rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids, polyphenols and catechins. This antioxidant helps fight free radicals that cause oxidative stress in hair cells, including melanocytes (cells that produce melanin). On the other hand, the natural oil content in cocoa powder can moisturize and nourish the scalp. Sufficient moisture can maintain healthy hair follicles and prevent damage that can cause gray hair.
The polyphenol content in chocolate helps increase hair growth.
As mentioned above, chocolate contains polyphenols. This content helps increase blood circulation in the scalp. Good blood flow ensures hair follicles get enough nutrients and oxygen, which is important for healthy, strong hair growth. It also helps in maintaining a healthy scalp , reduces the risk of hair loss, and improves the overall condition of the hair.
