A team of British dermatologists found that by age 50, half of the world’s population has at least 50% gray hair. In fair-skinned people, white hair starts from the age of 30; in Asians, around 40 and in African-Americans, after that period. It’s a completely natural process called depigmentation and it doesn’t necessarily occur in adulthood: it sometimes develops in youth.
Based on this research, the awesome.club shows the causes of the appearance of gray hair and how to delay this process.
What gives hair color?
Hair growth and color depend on the structure and qualitative work of the hair follicle or, more precisely, on the cells of melanocytes, which produce melanin. This is composed of eumelanin and pheomelanin and, depending on the amount and proportion of these pigments, the entire spectrum of hair colors that we know is obtained.
With age, or under the influence of internal causes, melanin activity slows down and literally ceases to interact with hair proteins, so the roots start to turn gray. The complete bleaching process can take up to 10 years and it’s impossible to get gray hair overnight, even under extreme stress. Nervousness only accelerates the process of deterioration of the hair structure.
