Brilio.net - Aging is part of the life cycle that everyone will experience. Aging causes the condition and function of the organs in the body to decline, resulting in significant changes. On the skin, aging can usually be seen by the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Meanwhile, aging can also appear in the hair area in the form of gray hair.
Gray hair is the term for hair that has lost color pigment, so it turns grayish white. White hair appears as a result of the reduced ability of melanocyte cells to form melanin as a color pigment as we age. Generally white hair will appear when you reach the age of 35 years.
Genetic factors and lack of intake of vitamins and nutrients such as B-6, B-12 and E can also speed up the appearance of gray hair. A person can also turn gray due to the effects of using inappropriate hair care products, autoimmune diseases, thyroid gland disorders, excessive stress, and smoking habits.
Because of these factors, many people start to gray when they are still young. This condition is usually called premature graying. Therefore, quite a few people feel insecure because of the appearance of gray hair. So, they look for various ways to blacken gray hair.

Cloves are a kitchen spice that can apparently be used to treat premature graying or gray hair due to the aging process. Reporting from the Byrdie page, this is thanks to the high eugenol content in cloves which has antioxidant properties to protect hair shafts and follicles from oxidative damage. The beta carotene content (a derivative of vitamin A) in cloves also helps regenerate hair well, so it will help increase the natural color of the hair.
