Brilio.net - Gray hair is a sign of aging which is characterized by the appearance of white strands of hair on the head. This condition is generally experienced by someone aged 30 years and over. This happens because as a person gets older, the production of melanin in the hair follicles begins to decrease, so that the strands of hair that grow do not get perfect pigment. This is what causes gray hair to have a grayish white color.
Even so, in fact, gray hair is not only experienced by older people, you know. But young people or teenagers can also grow gray hair on their heads. There are many factors that trigger this condition, such as genetics, hormones, lifestyle, frequent hair styling using heating tools and chemical dyes, and stress factors.

Cloves are a spice that is widely used to treat gray hair. No exception for reducing growth and turning gray hair black again. This is thanks to the antioxidant and eugenol content in it. Eugenol is claimed to protect hair shafts and follicles from damage. Eugenol is what will increase the levels of pigment or melanin in the hair follicles.
No less effective than cloves, red onion skins, which have only been considered rubbish, are also effective for nourishing hair and treating gray hair, you know. This is because onion skin is rich in antioxidants and vitamins to ward off free radicals. Free radicals are one of the causes of gray hair. Likewise with black tea which is claimed to be able to naturally blacken gray hair.
Not without reason, the ingredients in this drink can increase melanin and keratin in the hair, so it can restore the hair's natural pigment. Apart from that, this tea is also effective in covering gray hair that has grown. Reporting from Healthline, this is due to the teaflavin and tearubigin content in tea. These two substances are natural coloring agents from tea. The natural dye in black tea will act as a stain to disguise gray hair.
