Brilio.net - One of the signs of aging that generally appears when a person enters old age is gray hair. Not without reason, this condition occurs because as a person gets older, the production of melanin as a substance that gives hair natural pigment begins to decline. Because of this, the strands of hair that grow do not get perfect pigment. This reason causes grayish white gray hair.
Even though it is a sign of aging, gray hair can actually grow faster, you know. Even when someone is still relatively young. This condition is called premature graying. There are various factors that cause premature gray hair, including genetics, hormonal changes, too often styling using heating tools and chemical dyes, certain diseases, the effects of stress, and an unhealthy lifestyle.

There are those who polish using chemical dyes in salons , use various hair care products, and even use natural ingredients.
