One of the causes of gray hair is an unhealthy lifestyle.

Brilio.net - One of the signs of aging that is quite visible when someone enters old age is gray hair. The reason is, as you get older, your hair will lose melanin or the hair's natural pigment, which means that the hair strands don't get the perfect pigment. Well, this is what makes hair turn grayish white which is called gray hair.

Not only due to aging, gray hair can also grow faster. Even in teenagers or people who are still relatively young. This condition is called premature graying. Not without reason, gray hair growing faster is caused by several factors. Such as genetics, hormonal changes, using styling tools too often, coloring hair with chemical dyes too often, using unsuitable haircare, and an unhealthy lifestyle.

Having gray hair in your hair can really disturb your appearance and reduce a person's self-confidence. It's not surprising that most people look for ways to disguise the appearance of gray hair on their heads. One way is to dye your hair either yourself or at a beauty salon. However, unfortunately not everyone can get a polish at a beauty salon because the prices are expensive.

As a solution, you can disguise gray hair yourself by using natural ingredients. Apart from its affordable price, natural ingredients are no less effective than expensive polish and will not damage your hair. One natural ingredient that is widely used is coffee. Coffee is a natural ingredient that can disguise gray hair because of its dark pigment.

Not many people know that potato skins can actually be used as a hair care ingredient. One of the benefits of potato skin for hair is to restore the appearance of gray hair which has become darker. Reporting from Herzindagi, potato skin contains an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase or tyrosinase, iron, zinc, copper, calcium, potassium, niacin and magnesium which are useful for blackening hair.

Lemon is a citrus fruit that has many benefits for body health. The high vitamin C content in it also makes it an ingredient that is beneficial for the beauty of skin and hair.
