Natural ways to PREVENT HAIR GREYING.

2 Main ways to prevent hair greying :-

  1. .... By taking sufficient amount of vitamin B12.
  2. .... By having the enzyme catalyse which break down H2O2.
1) VITAMIN B6-B12


  • Vitamin B-6 and B-12 are two of the Complex-B vitamins that aid in healthy skin and hair. ... It is purported that when Pantothenic Acid and folic acid are taken together it helps reverse graying by taking the hair back to its original color
  • Doctors say low level of B12  can cause lessening of hair pigments, which causes greying 
Foods containing high B12



  • 1) Drink six ounces(28.35 grams) of fresh amla juice every day or massage your hair with amla oil one time each week. Amla is also known as Indian gooseberry
  • 2)Black sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum). Two to three times a week, eat a tablespoon of black sesame seeds to slow down and possibly reverse the graying process.
  • Beef, liver, and chicken.
  • Banana along with its peel(1-2)
  • Fish and shellfish such as trout, salmon, tuna fish, and clams.
  • Fortified breakfast cereal.


  • Low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese
  • Egg




2) CATALYSE ENZYME 



,


When our skin produces hydrogen peroxide in larger amount it causes oxidation of hair follicles, resulting in greying of hairs. To neutralise this enzyme an catalase is released which prevents oxidation of hair melanin (melanin provides hair it's colour) 
Some foods containing catalase :-
broccoli,

kale,

cucumbers

radishes


celery
.
coconut oil

3 grams of ashwagandha powder a day for a year increased the amount of hair melanin in middle-aged men.





PREMATURE Greying, hair science in the most easiest way


3 MAIN REASONS
 for natural greying of hairs

H2O2 Inhibits the Synthesis Of Melanin


  • 1)"The originator of the entire process is hydrogen peroxide,( bleaching agent) " Our skin produces H2O2, This chemical serves to kill bacteria on the skin . With advancing age, hydrogen peroxide builds up in larger amounts in the hair follicle because the human body can no longer keep up neutralising the hydrogen peroxide using the enzyme catalyse (which splits it into hydrogen and water) , this hydrogen peroxide get sored around the hair follicle and ultimately inhibits (prevents/stops) the synthesis of the colour pigment melanin."  
  • Oxidation by hydrogen peroxide not only interferes with the production of melanin, but also inhibits other enzymes that are needed for the repair of damaged proteins.
  • In their work, the scientists showed that in aging cells this enzyme (which breakdown H2O2) is still present but in very limited concentration.

Dying of pigment cells

  • Your hair follicles have pigment cells that make melanin, a chemical that gives your hair its color. As you age, these cells start to die. Without pigment, new hair strands grow in lighter and take on various shades of gray, silver, and eventually white.
  • Hair graying is an obvious sign of human aging. Although graying has been investigated extensively, the mechanism remains unclear. ... 

Stress factor


  • Taking stress develop massive oxidative stress which causes accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in the hair follicle, which causes our hair to bleach itself from the inside out. Resulting faded light greyish hairs.
  • The build up of hydrogen peroxide was caused by a reduction of an enzyme that breaks up hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen (catalase).

PREVENT Hair Greying -

2 Main ways to prevent hair greying :-



With this research work, the scientists not only solved - on a molecular level - the age-old riddle of why hair turns gray in old age, but also have pointed out approaches for future therapy of vitiligo, a skin pigment disorder.

KNOW ?


In the human body, hydrogen peroxide is produced primarily in three places: lung, gut, and thyroid gland.
