Get Rid of Gray Hair

We will all at some point in our life experience the onset of Gray hair. This occurs at different ages in people, with the most common reason being heredity.

Gray Hair can also be due to a medical related condition. A B-12 deficiency, a thyroid imbalance and anemia can all cause premature gray hair. And if you need another reason to quit smoking, there is evidence that smokers are 4 times more likely to go gray at a young age. The common belief that shock or trauma can turn hair gray overnight is a cause for speculation. While some people claim such an occurrence, scientists question the actual time frame involved. Hair typically turns gray as a result of the natural ageing process. The pigment in the hair shaft comes from cells at the base (root) of the hair. These cells are genetically programmed to make a certain amount of pigment (Melanin) starting at a specific age. At some stage in the ageing process, these cells start to make less pigment but not as much as red or brown hair.
