Brilio.net - As we age, aging not only occurs in the skin but also in the hair, which begins to turn gray due to the loss of melanin pigment. The decrease in melanocyte cell activity in hair follicles causes melanin production to slow down or stop, changing the hair color to lighter or white.
The appearance of gray hair cannot be prevented, but it can be overcome by covering it with hair dye. However, without having to buy hair dye, gray hair can be overcome with natural ingredients such as urang aring. Urang aring contains antioxidants that fight free radicals in follicles and scalp, and prevent premature aging of hair. The anti-inflammatory properties in urang aring also help overcome inflammation of the scalp.
In addition, fenugreek seeds can be used to naturally darken hair. Fenugreek contains lecithin which prevents hair loss and stimulates hair growth, as well as increasing blood circulation to nourish the hair.
Ginger, with its gingerol content, stimulates hair growth and increases blood flow, helping to regenerate gray hair. Aloe vera in this concoction also plays an important role in moisturizing and maintaining healthy hair.
