| The
hair follicles called Melanocytes
generate the pigment
in our hair and are usually healthy and generous
in our youth. When get older these Melanocytes
start generating less pigment to the hair follicle
giving the hair slightly transparent and look
gray appearance.
It is therefore natural for the hair to turn grey
with age. But premature graying is a morbid
condition and it makes even the young
look older. This causes a great deal of concern
to affected persons, especially women.
A faulty diet, hereditary
and mental worries are the primary causes
of premature graying of hair. It is also due to
the lack of B vitamins, iron, copper and iodine
in the daily diet and diseases like chronic cold,
sinusitis, anemia and chronic constipation.
The unclean condition of the scalp is also one
of the reasons that weaken the roots of the hair
as the pores are blocked by the accumulated dirt.
There are many useful home remedies which can
be used as a first aid, are depicted under heading
“Hair Care Home Remedies”.
