Brilio.net - Gray hair is a natural process that happens to everyone. Gray hair cannot be removed completely, due to the reduction in hair pigment which is a natural part of the aging process.
When entering the aging phase, hair follicles contain cells called melanocytes (which determine the color of hair strands). Well, these cells are responsible for making a chemical called melanin (the pigment that gives color to the skin).
Color changes in hair and skin are determined by several factors, one of which is sun exposure. When your hair becomes brown or sunburned, in this position your melanin production is increasing.
Meanwhile, the cause of changes in melanin in hair is caused by increasing age. As you get older, hair melanin begins to decrease and causes hair follicles to decrease. This is what causes gray hair to appear.
Fortunately, now gray hair can be treated with treatment. For example, by applying polish, or you can use hair spray made from natural ingredients.
This step is like what TikTok user @jamutongkatali84 did. Through his video upload, he appears to be using two kitchen spices, namely onion skins and cloves. The mixture of the two ingredients is believed to be able to prevent and treat gray hair.

As shown above, it turns out that onion skins and cloves can treat gray hair. Reporting from the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Saturday (20/7), onion skins that you usually just throw away can stimulate hair follicles, thereby increasing blood circulation to the scalp and strengthening hair roots. The antioxidant content in shallot skin is believed to increase melanin production.
The National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) explains that cloves contain eugenol, a compound with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Using cloves can increase blood flow to the scalp, which can stimulate hair follicles and improve hair health.
The antioxidant properties of cloves help protect hair from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress, which can speed up the appearance of gray hair. Clove oil is often used to strengthen hair roots and increase hair thickness.
