Brilio.net - Gray hair is often a sign of increasing age. However, there are also those who experience it in their youth. This often makes people feel insecure. Gray hair at an early age can occur due to genetic factors from the family, but it can also be triggered by other things that influence it.
In addition to hereditary factors, premature gray hair can appear due to a lack of vitamin B12, folic acid, or thyroid hormone disorders. Not only that, excessive stress, exposure to pollution in the environment, and the use of chemical products such as hair dye or straighteners can also accelerate the change in hair color to white or gray.
Hair follicles actually have a color pigment called melanin. Over time, melanin production can decrease, either due to age or external factors. Based on information from Medlineplus, the less melanin produced, the more the hair color fades until it looks gray.
For those who are bothered by gray hair on their heads , natural ingredients can be the main solution. One way that can be tried is using a mixture of coffee and red onion skin. The owner of the TikTok account @ayur_officialpage shared tips by mixing the two ingredients with olive oil.
