Yes gray hair makes you look older before your time.
With the advancement of age, our hair loses its natural color and turn grey, but premature graying could be due to an illness and can make a young individual look older. When our bodies are functioning properly, the hair follicles cells called melanocytes generate pigments - one of the main one being melanin.
When these pigments are not generated or melanocytes stops producing them, a transparent hair is sprouted, which looks a ugly gray due the color of the dead cells that strand comprises of.
One of the most common reasons for grey hair is heredity. Another reason is a faulty diet or lack of vitamins in our daily diet including B vitamins, copper, iron, and iodine.
Mental worries, pollution, smoking, illness and so on are factors that contribute to graying of hair.
Tips to prevent gray hair:
- The best way to prevent grey hair is to consume a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Avoid foods such as white flour, soft drinks and refined sugar and products made by it.
- Looking after your skin and scalp will decrease your chances of developing grey hair.
Henna application is a better choice to camouflage your grey hair rather than the expensive and, somewhat harmful hair dyes.
