Brilio.net - Gray hair is usually synonymous with signs of aging on the scalp. However, apart from being caused by natural aging, gray hair can appear at a relatively young age. Gray hair that appears in your 20s is influenced by several factors. One of the factors most commonly experienced by a number of people is stress.
Indirectly, excessive stress can affect melanin production in hair follicles. Stress can also increase the risk of oxidative damage in the body. Free radicals produced during this process can damage body cells, including melanocytes which are responsible for the production of melanin in hair follicles. Damage to melanocytes can interfere with melanin production and cause hair to lose pigment so it turns gray.
So that gray hair doesn't appear quickly at a young age, you need to manage stress with activities you like. Apart from that, you also need to take care of your hair so that it is healthy and does not lack vitamin B12, iron and copper.
However, if gray hair has already appeared on the surface of your scalp, you can remove it by using polish made from natural ingredients. This step was carried out by YouTube channel user @jaigurucreations.
In uploading a short video on his YouTube channel, he uses turmeric powder combined with coconut oil. These two ingredients are often used as hair care, because of their ingredients.
Like turmeric, it contains the compound curcumin which can stimulate melanin production by melanocytes in hair follicles. Curcumin helps maintain natural hair color and reduces gray hair. The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric help reduce inflammation in the scalp, which can cause follicle damage and interfere with hair growth.
Meanwhile, the antioxidant content in turmeric helps protect scalp cells from damage caused by free radicals. So it can maintain the health of hair follicles and prevent gray hair.
On the other hand, coconut oil functions as a natural conditioner that helps moisturize and soften hair. The fatty acid content in coconut oil helps strengthen hair roots and reduces hair loss.
Those are the benefits you can get from these two ingredients. So how do you use these two ingredients to get rid of gray hair? Below are the steps you can follow, as summarized by briliobeauty.net from the YouTube channel @jaigurucreations, Sunday (31/3).
