Not with paint, but… with a banana
Constant coloring of hair causes it to turn gray even more
The appearance of the first gray hair is a tragedy for almost everyone. But the loss of natural hair color is caused not only by heredity and stress…
During the study, scientists from the Dana Feber Oncology Institute (Britain) discovered that women’s excessive passion for hair coloring and chemical perms… causes even more graying of hair. That is, a paradox arises: the earlier a woman starts using chemical dyes, the faster she starts to turn gray. How to avoid this – we talk with Zhanna Prykhodko, a dermatologist-cosmetologist of the highest category.
– Graying among female twins was analyzed during the study. And it turned out that the main factor in the appearance of gray hair is not so much lifestyle as genetic predisposition…
– Indeed, the appearance of gray hair is genetically embedded in us. This is a physiological process, and gray hair after 40 is a completely natural phenomenon. In general, gray hair appears due to the deterioration of the hair follicles. This affects melanocyte cells, which produce pigments that give hair its natural color. Another thing is that gray hair can appear prematurely.
For example, a nervous breakdown, fright, severe stress can spasm the blood vessels that feed the hair roots. So it loses its pigment. Early gray hair can indicate chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, when the vessels of the brain spasm, problems with the liver, diseases of the thyroid gland, hormonal disorders, etc.
– Researchers believe that one of the main provocateurs of gray hair in modern women are hair perms and hair dyes, which girls start using in adolescence…
– And it is quite logical. After all, the more often a woman dyes her hair, the greater its thinning. If you often use chemical dyes, the supply of nutrients to the hair deteriorates, and the cuticle of the hair shaft is damaged. It is the cuticle that is responsible for hair color. If it contains pheomelanin, you will be blonde, if eumelanin, you will be brunette.
“To avoid early gray hair, strengthen the hair by rubbing onion juice into it.” The cuticle is also responsible for the hair’s resistance to external factors.
– How can you help in such a case? After all, women paint to avoid gray hair, but instead have the opposite result.
I would advise not to abuse paints, especially too bright, unnatural colors. If the first gray hair appears, use the recipes of our grandmothers – rinse your hair with a decoction of onion husks, oak bark and strong tea.
When graying in the roots of the hair, rub a decoction of nettle, mother-and-stepmother, cones, hops, and roots of yarrow.
In addition to the medicinal effect of the herbs, a mechanical massage of the head occurs during rubbing, which is also beneficial for the hair. By the way, gray hair is considered a natural color in Europe, it is unfashionable to dye it.
To avoid early gray hair, strengthen your hair by rubbing onion juice into it. Such a recipe is not bad – the yolk of one egg is mixed with a teaspoon of castor or olive oil and a little brandy or honey is added – such a mask is applied for 15 minutes and washed off with chamomile decoction.
The latest studies say that early gray hair is caused by a lack of trace elements in the body, such as copper, zinc, and magnesium. Therefore, pay attention to certain products. So, copper is found in almonds, white cabbage, beets, potatoes, lemon, and zinc – in mushrooms, onions, yeast, cereals, cocoa and pumpkin seeds.
There is a lot of magnesium in baked potatoes, bananas, legumes, and walnuts. Sprouted wheat, avocado, sesame and cheeses contain tyrosine, a substance that is directly responsible for hair pigmentation.
There are even special vitamin complexes that contain all the necessary elements that, in particular, counteract premature gray hair.
