About the graying process and against graying

GRAYING HAIR - EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT AND HOW TO TREAT IT

Many people fear graying, but it is a natural process that occurs at a certain stage in life – regardless of age – characterized by a decrease in pigmentation of hair and body hair, leading to the loss of hair color. The onset of graying is primarily determined by genetic factors, but it can also be influenced and accelerated by external physiological factors such as stress, emotional trauma, poor nutrition, or smoking.

However, there’s good news: research has shown that it is possible to combat graying naturally, and even re-pigment gray hair, which we discuss in detail in our blog post.

what causes gray hair?

Graying is a biochemical process that simply means that as the body ages, melanin production in the hair follicles decreases, causing the hair strands to turn whiteish or grayish. Additionally, the level of an enzyme called catalase in the body drops to a critical level.

As a result, hydrogen peroxide accumulates in the body, which would normally be broken down by the catalase enzyme. The accumulated hydrogen peroxide during graying damages the hair strands and their natural color, making the hair gray, hard to manage, and brittle, further complicating the process.

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION AGAINST GRAYING?

There are several natural methods to delay graying by introducing certain vitamins and minerals into the body. The intake of catalase enzymes, vitamins C and D, hyaluronic acid, and zinc can slow down the graying process and support the healthy development of hair strands.

CATALASE ENZYME

As mentioned earlier, the continuous decrease in the level of catalase enzyme in the body can cause hair to gray. Consuming catalase enzyme can help maintain this level above the critical point, thus delaying the graying process. Introducing this active ingredient can naturally slow down graying for a prolonged time. This natural enzyme also has antioxidant properties, which are beneficial for the body, playing a significant role in reducing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is particularly important as it accelerates the graying process and is harmful to the body. It occurs when the level of free radicals in the cells exceeds the body’s antioxidant defense mechanisms, contributing to various health issues such as cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory, autoimmune, and cancerous conditions.

VITAMINS AND ANTIOXIDANTS

Vitamins C and E can help protect hair strands from the harmful effects of free radicals due to their antioxidant properties, thereby reducing oxidative stress, a factor that accelerates graying. Vitamin C is involved in collagen production, essential for the beauty of hair and skin. Vitamin E protects hair strands from external harmful factors and enhances blood circulation, including the scalp’s circulation, thus promoting hair growth.

HYALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in other parts of the body and helps increase cells’ water retention capacity. Youthful skin contains a large amount of this hydrating, high-molecular-weight carbohydrate, which can be replenished daily, making children’s skin strong and adequately elastic. As we age, the skin loses its ability to produce hyaluronic acid, leading to dehydration, wrinkles, and reduced firmness.

Hyaluronic acid’s greatest advantage is its high capacity to retain water in the skin, eyes, or soft tissues, making it highly effective in hydration. Collagen in the body performs its function efficiently only when the body is adequately hydrated. Therefore, consuming hyaluronic acid (within a balanced diet) positively affects slowing down graying, and using cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid is also practical for externally supporting the process.

ZINC

Zinc is a mineral essential for hair pigmentation and development. Inadequate zinc levels in the body can contribute to hair loss and loss of pigmentation. Zinc-rich foods include nuts, oatmeal, cheeses, fish, seafood (oysters and crustaceans), and red meats (beef and lamb). Zinc plays a crucial role in growing healthy hair strands and slowing the graying process.

what is the best treatment for graying hair?
