Brilio.net - Gray hair is a common hair problem that is definitely experienced by everyone, often affecting self-confidence. Usually, gray hair appears at around 35 years of age, but can also appear earlier in teenagers, known as premature gray hair. This condition is often caused by genetic factors, where genes are inherited from parents who also have gray hair at a young age.
In addition to genetic factors, stress, unhealthy lifestyles, and environmental factors can also trigger the appearance of gray hair. Stress, for example, can cause a lot of inflammation in the body, which reduces melanin production and triggers the appearance of gray hair. Gray hair occurs when hair follicles stop producing melanin, causing hair to grow in a white or grayish color. Although it is impossible to completely prevent the appearance of gray hair, its growth can be slowed down with proper hair care.
In addition, you can also use natural ingredients to nourish your hair to prevent gray hair from growing back. No need for cloves and coffee, because the owner of the TikTok account @faeruznanda on July 28, 2023, actually only used 1 type of leaf. The leaves used are guava leaves.
"The only capital is leaves, it can remove gray hair, hair loss, and even treat acne," he said in the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net reported from the TikTok account @faeruznanda, Tuesday (21/1).

Guava leaves are indeed one of the fruit leaves that have various benefits for health and beauty. Rarely known that guava leaves can be used to reduce the appearance of gray hair and disguise gray hair on hair.
Not without reason, because guava leaves contain high antioxidant compounds, such as vitamin C and flavonoids, which will play a role in protecting hair cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals can cause damage to hair cells, and this is what will cause gray hair.
In addition, vitamin C also plays a role in the production of collagen which helps strengthen hair and prevent hair loss. Even guava leaves also have natural cleaning properties that are also effective in dealing with stubborn dandruff on the scalp.
Even the leaves that are often used for diarrhea medicine can also be used to treat acne. Because, these leaves contain gallic acid, tannins, and flavonoids that are antibacterial so they can fight acne-causing bacteria.
