Reasons for Grey Hair

One of the most common subjects is gray hair, such as whatcauses it and how to get the original hair color back, so Iwant to address that issue today. Your hair contains a chemical called melanin whichdetermines how dark your hair is. Eventually the level ofmelanin starts dropping and your hair gets lighter.

So grayhair is actually "hair without color." This is the sameconcept as the pigment in your skin which determines howdark it is and makes it darker when you tan. Of course thedifference is that sun exposure will not help with themelanin in your hair. For some people the graying process starts as early astheir late 20s (think of comedian Steve Martin, who doesn'tlook much older now than he did 30 years ago due to goingprematurely gray).

For others this does not happen untilthe 50s or even 60s. So what to do about this, especially if you are turninggray before your time?One common thing people do is dye their hair, which workswell if done right. But it's easy to do it wrong and end upwith hair that is obviously dyed and looks unnatural(especially if your eyebrows or other hair is alreadygray).

It's also messy, and if you aren't careful, the dyewill get on your skin and stain it.An alternative to this is a product called "Youthair". Itcomes in liquid or creme form. The way it works is that itadds a pigment that combines with your hair to restore itcloser to the original color. This looks more natural sinceyour hair does not end up one solid color like jet black.Some people prefer to leave a little gray so it looks morenatural than a dye job.

I don't have any connection with the company that makes it-just search for "Youthair" and you'll find where you can orderit online.I learned about this from an ebook I recently read called"Grooming Secrets for Men." It's full of tips about how toimprove your appearance, look and feel better, make a goodfirst impression, take better care of your skin, hair, andteeth, and improve your overall health.
