Brilio.net - As you get older, it's not just your face that changes. However, hair can change color to white or gray. We know this condition as gray hair that occurs in the head area. Often referred to as white hair, gray hair itself is formed due to the reduced ability of hair to produce melanocyte cells, which give hair its black color as we age.
Generally, gray hair will appear when a person has entered the initial phase of aging, namely around the age of 40. At that age, the appearance of gray hair will usually be accompanied by a decline in a person's physical condition. However, many conditions are also found where a person's hair has turned white even at a relatively young age.
Yes, in fact, gray hair can grow faster if someone often engages in bad habits. Smoking, for example, has been known to accelerate the appearance of gray hair due to the nicotine content which can damage the pigment formation process in the hair. It is even suspected that the stress factors experienced by a person can cause hair to lose its natural color quickly.
Hey, even so, those of you who are facing this problem don't need to be confused. The thing is, you can slow down and reduce the appearance of gray hair using only natural ingredients. One trick is to use red onion extract, as demonstrated by @heenaasachdeva24 and reported by briliobeauty.net on Thursday (2/5).
Shallots basically contain a natural compound called catalase. This compound plays an important role in helping break down hydrogen peroxide, a substance that can cause premature aging of hair. By reducing hydrogen peroxide, onions can help slow the growth of gray hair while deeply nourishing hair, thereby restoring hair growth and natural color.

Apart from that, red onions are also claimed to be able to eliminate dandruff. Shallots have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties which can help treat skin problems such as dandruff. Although there is no scientific research that specifically proves the effectiveness of shallots in eliminating dandruff, some people have used shallots as a natural ingredient in hair and scalp care.
By using the ingredients above you can get rid of gray hair. So how do you use and make it? For those of you who want to try, let's look at the information below as summarized by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @heenaasachdeva24, Thursday (2/5).
