Grey Hair Remedies
The complexion and color of one’s hair depends on the amount of melanin the follicles would secrete. If there is less melanin produced, the hair would have light and fair-colored strands. If there is increase in melanin production, the complexion and color of the hair would be dark.
Other causes of gray hair are the following:
- As an individual ages, the hair follicles will eventually die out as well in time. When this happens, there would be lesser and lesser production of melanin in the roots of the hair causing the hair strands to go grey.
- Greying of hair that is not associated with age can be attributed to hereditary factors. So if your dad got his first strands of grey hair at an early age, you are most likely to get yours at an early age too.
- Stress can also bring about the graying of one’s hair. A prolonged exposure to stressful situations coupled with anxiety can cause one’s hair to turn hair.
- Other causes for the graying of hair could be malnutrition, tension, and deep sorrow.
