Brilio.net - Gray hair is a natural phenomenon experienced by everyone as they age. Indonesian hair is generally black or dark because it has a high melanin content . When hair turns white and becomes gray, there is a decrease in melanin production. In gray hair, melanin is no longer produced, so new hair grows without coloring from melanin. The appearance of gray hair is usually related to age and the body's ability to produce melanin, so generally gray hair begins to appear at the age of 40 years and above.
However, gray hair can appear at a younger age due to genetic factors. In addition, excessive stress can also cause premature gray hair. Stress can affect hair pigment by weakening the pigment's ability to maintain hair strength, as well as making hair fall out more easily.
To overcome gray hair, coloring hair at a beauty salon can be an option. However, the chemicals in hair dye can damage hair. As an alternative, natural ingredients can be used to help darken gray hair. In fact, there is no need to use henna which is often used by many people. Simply by using one type of kitchen spice skin, hair can return to a darker color naturally.
Like the upload shared by the TikTok account @tambunbatam1975 on December 14, 2022. The spice skin in question is garlic skin. In addition, he also added another ingredient, namely coconut oil.
