Home remedies to prevent premature greying of hair
Dr Navnit Haror
Grey hair can turn black again naturally. It’s a myth that all colouring will go away if you bleach it multiple times or put chemicals on your head! There are many causes of prematurely gray hair, from heredity to environmental factors.
♦ Heredity is one of the major and most common factors responsible for premature grey hair. The greying gene grows from birth onward; when it finally shows itself to be true – no remedy can change what has already happened!
♦ The cells in the hair follicles called melanocytes produce two pigments: pheomelanin and eumelanin. These pigment molecules join together to give humans natural hair color, but with time these are gradually reduced by production from Melanosomes on a cell’s surface which means that as one lives their appearance can change to grey or white depending on if there’s more of it than another type.
♦ Stress is something that can affect anyone at any time. The kind of stress you are going through will determine how your body feels and looks, as well as what kind of moods or behaviours arise in yourself when under this type of discomfort whether it’s emotional, physical or both!
♦ Vitamin B-12 is a necessary and essential vitamin that promotes nervous system health, brain function, as well heart muscle development. It also helps create red blood cells! This means we need it because our bodies are made up mostly of water (about 90 percent).
