Are you tired of looking older than you are? Do you feel self-conscious of the quickly approaching army of grey hair soldiers especially around other people?
Unfortunately, gray hair makes us feel that way. And just as important, if not more so, the way others may feel about us. Let's face it, most of us associate grey hair with old age. The onset of graying hair, usually late 20's, to mid 30's if your lucky, brings us to the realization of getting older, although it's a realization that most of us don't accept graciously.
This occurrence is very natural and is caused by a loss of melanin, a substance that is produced by the hair follicle, which diminishes as one grows older. Simply put, the amount of melanin in your hair determines your hair color. People with dark hair have more melanin than people with light hair. The older you get, the less melanin your body produces. That's when the grey or greying hair becomes obvious.
Some people believe you can replenish this loss with herbs, roots, minerals, oils or vitamin supplements. The truth is, that may work, but only for a select few, if that. The amount of supplements, taken orally, required to offset this loss, even if it could be done, would be too much for anyone to do or afford on a regular basis. Some people panic and color gray hair. That's the bad news!
