Brilio.net - Gray hair is a common phenomenon experienced by many people. Changes in hair from its original color to gray or white often only appear when you get older. Although there are quite a few cases where young people have gray hair.
Behind that, gray hair can appear due to genetic and environmental factors that can influence the production of melanin (the pigment that gives color to hair). Genetic factors play a big role in a person's predisposition to gray hair. If parents or other family members experience gray hair at a young age, it is likely that someone else will experience it too.
Apart from the factors above, the aging process that occurs is also the main cause of gray hair . As we age, hair follicles naturally produce less melanin, causing hair to lose its original color and turn gray.
Giving an unsightly appearance, people then decide to bleach their gray hair. Now you don't need to buy polish products, you can make them from natural ingredients.
Instead of using coffee grounds, one YouTuber makes natural hair polish from curd mixed with henna, indigo and jatamansi powder. Curd or processed milk drinks contain lactic acid, protein and healthy fats, which can help keep the scalp and hair healthy.
All of these ingredients can help reduce dryness, nourish hair roots, and provide hair moisture. Reporting from zanducare.com, Saturday (27/4) the lactic acid content in curd can also treat dandruff.
Henna is a natural dye used to give hair and skin an even color. Apart from that, henna also has good moisturizing properties, helps strengthen hair roots and reduces hair loss.
Meanwhile, indigo powder is a natural dye that is usually used together with henna to give hair a darker color. Apart from being a dye, indigo also has conditioning properties that can soften hair.
The last ingredient, namely jatamansi, is a herbal plant used in traditional Indian medicine to care for hair and scalp. Jatamansi powder has moisturizing, cleansing, and scalp-soothing properties that can help improve overall hair health.
