Gray - loss of color
Soaking is the aging of the curls. First of all, it is associated with malfunctions in the formation of melanin. Hence - the loss of a natural shade of hair. But, in addition, graying strands lose elasticity and shine, become drier, stiffer, rather than "colored curls." They are difficult to lay down. Hairdressers say: on gray hair it's not so easy to make a hairdo. And yet there is a dignity of gray locks. Keratin grains (substances from which the hair is "built") are quite dense. Therefore, they are stronger and stronger, less prone to loss than hair in which melanin is preserved.
The problem is inherited
Indeed, scientists have isolated the gene of gray hair. According to one version, people who inherited it may experience premature graying - as early as 18-19 years. The first grimness usually squeaks at the temples. Then spread to the crown, later - to the nape. But another scenario of events is also possible - the so-called polyosis (which is also a song), when a single gray hair appears and stays in the hair for many years.
Hair grows gray from disease
Unfortunately this is the case. The appearance of "time stamps" in locks accelerates diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (especially the stomach ulcer), gland in the thyroid gland and adrenal glands, anemia, bronchial asthma and other ailments. To the appearance of gray hair can lead and congenital genetic diseases associated with a violation of the production of melanin, for example, vitiligo. It is also possible to shed curls due to severe infectious diseases. The raised temperature which keeps enough longly, badly influences health and appearance of hair. Our consultant Irina Popova believes that worms can lead to early gray hair. The foreign protein of "uninvited micro-hosts" disrupts pigmentation. Thus, one of the signs of lambiosis (the presence of lambia in the body of helminths) is the appearance of white spots on the eyelids and on the hands.
To lose color really from diets
Illiterate fasting can lead to the appearance of early gray hair. For the color in the hair meet copper, zinc, as well as iron and manganese. Therefore, on a plate and in a cup, there must necessarily be food and drinks with these trace elements. These are oysters, mussels, whole-grain bread, hard cheese, various legumes, milk and sour-milk products, eggs, canned fish, oatmeal, corn, algae, walnuts and hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkins and sesame, Bulgarian pepper, wheaten bran, dog rose, apples, citrus fruits, cocoa. Do not neglect the "forbidden" fruits-for example, champagne (it has a lot of zinc), coffee (a source of copper), chocolate (contains copper, zinc, iron, manganese), salami (this sausage has iron) , beer (in brewer's yeast - many necessary curls of substances). Naturally, "harmful good" should be in moderation. Preserves color and folic acid. It is plentiful in wheat germ, spinach, soy, egg yolk, chicory, soy, asparagus and lentils. But, perhaps, the most important antiseed is meat. In it, as well as in by-products, contain all the micro- and macronutrients necessary for curls.
The sun is good for the hair
A lot of ultraviolet for ringlets is an oxidative stress ("blow", caused by free radicals formed under the influence of active sunlight). Attack of free radicals steals hair from youth. Tanner lovers often have early gray hair.
It is possible to sit down for one night
Scientists do not confirm (but do not refute!) This fact - none of them set such experiments and did not observe any instantaneous graying. According to one of the theories, the expression "turned gray with grief" appeared because stresses actually affect the hair - and it is the pigmented ones. Gray locks (as already mentioned above) are more persistent. If a person already has a certain percentage of gray hair, strong hairs may drop out of hairs with a natural color. Gray - will remain. Seems: gray hair has become more (although their number has not changed). But what are the convergence trichologists: stress, in fact, accelerate the appearance of gray hair (if the propensity for early graying is determined genetically).
Silver whiskey is more common in ladies
In reality, a more vulnerable gender should be considered a gentleman: 68% of people with early gray hair - men. As for women, their gray hair often appears during the menopause, when hormonal changes in the body go. Hence the "estrogenic version" of gray hair - the appearance of white hairs is often associated with a lack of estrogen (female sex hormones). Their level changes during menopause.
Grays caused by medication
Indeed, there are medicines that accelerate the loss of melanin. These are some antineoplastic drugs, medicines for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. But there are also tablets, which lead to the opposite effect: restoration of the natural color of the curls. These are also certain medicines against cancer. Or, for example, paraaminobenzoic acid. But resort to such an antispecialist is not worth it. In large quantities, this substance has a negative effect on the kidneys. In addition, after a course of paraaminobenzoic acid, gray hair returns again.
Whitened hairs need to be pulled out
Japanese and Korean scientists came to the conclusion: if you pull out one gray hair, a number of his "white fellows" are formed alongside. According to their version, there are some factors (cells) of gray hair, which, if one old hair is damaged, spread to the rest. The "infectious theory" of graying has not yet been proved, but in any case, when graying occurs by plucking it is better not to get carried away.
The web of time is the same for all
In fact, it is different - it depends on the original color of the hair. In brunettes and brown-haired women it is more often grayish, in blondes - brighter and white. In people with fiery red hair, over time, hair can become yellow. This is also a sign of graying. At all, only albinos do not grow gray. They have no birth in the skin and hair melanin.
Brunettes grow gray before
Complete graying is more common in blonde people. Just in dark hair, gray hair is more visible - therefore, it seems that the owners of hair of the raven's wing color are prone to early graying.
From the graying will save shampoos and balms
Such products include various amino acids, collagen, elastin, moisturizers (for example, bamboo extract), gelatin, which envelops the hairs and makes them softer. With them, it is realistic to return hair shine, softness, protect them from loss of elasticity. But no one guarantees color retention. To combat gray hair, shampoos of a different type are produced - tinting silver and golden. They have a coloring effect - they give the already appeared hairs a more noble shade. But this does not mean that anti-aging shampoos and balsams should not be allowed on the shelves in the bathroom. These rescuers heal curls, protect against other signs of aging - dryness, stiffness. The main thing is that such facilities should be of high quality, manufactured by well-known manufacturers. It is better to choose the so-called "professional" series. Compared with conventional means, they have more substances, useful hair. Henna, basma, chamomile. Gray hair is extremely difficult to color. "Soft" vegetable dyes on them often do not work. By folk remedies, only the first silvery threads can be disguised.
Shampoos, balms. As well as purely vegetable dyes, they are suitable only for curls with a very small percentage of gray hair. Exception - funds marked "for gray hair." Minus - in such preparations there is a lot of oxidizer. Persistent paint. Contains a large percentage of oxidizer, ammonia, the most suitable option for long-term staining of gray hair. On these series there are notes: "up to 30% of gray hair", "up to 50%" and "above 50%". Also, expensive paints are produced, where ammonia is absent - it is replaced by other chemical components. Minus - you need to regularly tint overgrown roots. Also, hair from such "masking masters" becomes more rigid - you need to apply shampoos and masks with keratin and elastane. In addition, with age, people's skin becomes more sensitive, the tendency to allergies increases. In this case, you need to abandon such a dye, as well as exclude caring products with natural plant components (for example, essential oils).
