Grey hair

Graying hair is a condition in which the hair starts to lose its natural color.There are a lot of people who suffer from this condition in which hair turns gray prematurely.

Usually the graying of hair is considered to be the initial sign of aging.It can be very distressing for the person who experiences it.

Our hair made up of two parts

1. Shaft — the colored part
2. Root — the bottom part

• The root of every strand of hair surrounded by a tube of tissue called hair follicle
  Each hair follicle contains a certain number of pigment cells.
• These pigment cells make a chemical called melanin that gives the natural color to our hair shaft.
• The formation of melanin begins before birth.
• The natural color of our hair depends upon the distribution, type and amount of melanin
• When this melanin gets decreased, our hairs turns in white color
• Most of us find our first “grey” by the time we turn 30
• Natural graying that occurs as we grow older. As we age our melanocytes become inactive. The older we get, melanocytes decrease in number. The result is less and less melanin, Thus, hairs turn gray, and then our hair turns white.

Cause of Grey hair

There are many different factors that can lead to the development of gray hair.

A faulty diet and mental worries are the two primary causes of premature graying of hair. Lack of some of the B vitamins, iron, copper, and iodine in the daily diet said to be a contributory factor.
