Preventing Grey Hair

How do we go about preventing grey hair? Well, there are now quite a few ways open to us. The best way of preventing grey hair is to start when we still have a head full of beautiful normal hair. Finding a balanced diet with all the right vitamins and minerals can stave off grey hair for years if not decades.

However, if like the 99.9% of people who did'n ﹀ do anything special when they had normal hair and are grey now, what can you do? Preventing grey hair is not an exact science but it is getting there. What we need to do is arm ourselves with knowledge as this is really the only way in preventing grey hair. First of all graying does not mean that the hair dies. In fact, the visible portion of all hair is already dead. Each hair extends below the skin surface. This end is called the bulb and is the only living part. The bulb works as the hair factory. When hair is made by a swift division of cells in the bulb, it absorbs melanin, which is produced by pigment cells. For that reason, if the pigment cells stop producing melanin, the hair will be white. White only loses its color because of this. That＊s very important to know. The culprit is called MELANIN. Now you＊ve seen the face of the enemy.
