    All You Should Know About Grey Hair

    Grey hair is a common hair problem these days. Are you showing signs of hair and scalp ageing? While some people actually like a tinge of silver on their head, majority of us avoid such color.

    Premature scalp ageing can cause greying hair at an early age too. We explore the causes, symptoms and common solutions to fight gray hair.

    Some Causes

    Ageing

    One of the most common and inevitable reasons for grey hair is aging. Scientifically, it’s a proven fact that your hair changes its texture with time. Since naturally, the strength of a person is likely to reduce with age, your hair similarly loses its nourishment and as a result, they tend to whiten.

    Depression

    Stress and depression are two major factors contributing to grey hair, although according to Dr Robert Shmerling in a Harvard Health Publishing article, they are not necessarily direct causes. 

    In actual fact, stress causes hair to fall out and regenerate more frequently, which in turn causes the hair to grow back in grey instead of its original color.

    Hair Colors

    Applying hair color and frequent dyeing is also a common cause for grey hair. After the dye color has faded away, it can also strip away the natural color from your hair. It is probably one reason why one has to continuously dye their hair to hide greys.
