The causes of graying and prevention
The color is imparted to our hair by special pigments, but many factors affect the shade of the hair. It is known that hair can change its color with age, because of a long stay in the sun, because of hormonal changes in the body, problems with the pancreas and liver. Sulphate appears for three reasons: heredity, stress, age.
As a rule, the person whose immediate relatives are graying rather early, has a better chance of finding the first gray hair in 30, 25 or even 20 years. This state of affairs, of course, does not speak of approaching old age, but it is very difficult to change this state of affairs.
In addition, gray hair may appear due to severe stress. As a rule, such consequences are due to serious shocks in a person's life. It can be either loss of work or loss of a loved one.
Some diseases also affect the formation of pigment in the hair follicle, which can cause the appearance of gray hair, but does not mean that you will necessarily turn gray completely in a short time. However, if gray hair began to appear after 40-45 years, then the process becomes almost irreversible. It is hardly possible to try to cure Sedina, but you can try to prevent it.
Preventing the appearance of gray hair includes many aspects. First of all, it's a healthy lifestyle and a caring attitude towards your body. Healthy sleep, proper nutrition, prevention of various diseases, strengthening of the nervous system will help you maintain the property of the body to produce the pigment necessary for hair color as long as possible. If the cause of the appearance of gray hair lies in heredity, then you can only slightly delay the appearance of the first gray hairs, and not be safe from this for dozens of years.
Masking of gray hair
But, despite all the efforts, gray hair still may appear. Often this happens suddenly - you accidentally find gray hair or a whole strand. Time for prevention is already lost, you need to try to hide the early gray hair.
The first and most common remedy is hair dyeing. If you are the owner of light or red hair, then gray hair in a small amount will not be noticeable, you do not have to radically change the color of your hair and worry about the overgrown roots every 2-3 weeks. However, if you have dark hair, then the light strands will stand out against their background. For dyeing the hair, both persistent and more gentle paints will work. It is important that they paint the gray hair as much as possible. You should know that the colors of dark shades best cope with this task. But attempts to discolor the gray hair do not always end well, since the gray hair can become red or yellow, which will catch your eye.

This way of coloring is especially popular with men, as it does not require much effort and special skills - it's enough just to wash your head, follow the instructions on the vial.
Some refuse to stain in favor of wigs, but this method does not suit everyone. Firstly, it's very difficult to choose a wig that looks natural and went to you. Secondly, wigs are not suitable for hot weather, their constant wearing can cause allergies and lead to hair loss. In addition, the wigs require careful care. All these efforts, as rules, are not necessary, since the first gray hair is visible only to you and your hairdresser, the surrounding people will not notice it.
