Gray hair is caused by insufficient pigment formation and the appearance of numerous air bubbles in the hair cortex, which reflect light and enhance the white color of gray hair.
Premature graying differs from old age only in its early appearance. In each specific case, it can be difficult to differentiate between premature and senile graying due to the fact that senile graying of hair appears at different ages in different people.
It has been established that black hair with senile and premature graying turns gray earlier than blond hair. Long hair usually turns gray before bristly and vellus hair. First of all, the hair on the head turns gray, then on the beard (the hair on the chin turns gray first, the last - along the edges of the beard, near the neck and cheeks). Armpit, chest and pubic hair turns gray after beard hair; The eyebrow hairs are the last to turn gray.
Graying may occur under the influence of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Most people have slightly different shades of hair color on different parts of the body. When these differences are drastic (one eyebrow is light, the other is dark, bleached hair on white patches of vitiligo, etc.), this is considered a floral anomaly.
Any gray hair is considered a cosmetic defect; the only way to eliminate it at present is hair coloring. The number of hair coloring products is very large. Any hair coloring requires skill and patience. Only the part of the hair that is above the skin can be dyed. Therefore, even with permanent coloring, the hair should be tinted again as it grows, since after 2 weeks, when the hair grows by about 0.5 cm, the undyed part of the hair becomes noticeable.
To make hair lighter, vinegar, lemon juice, and chamomile infusion are widely used when washing your hair. It should be taken into account that the brightening is insignificant and unstable.
An alcohol extract from horse chestnut fruit is used to dye gray hair light.
To dye it a darker, chestnut color, an infusion of green walnut peels is used: 150 ml of water is mixed with 15 g of walnut peels, 25 g of alum and 75 ml of Provençal oil and kept on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
A mixture of 10 ml of green walnut shell juice and 90 ml of 60 degree alcohol will also give a chestnut color. Coloring with these substances is completely harmless, but does not last long.
By changing the ratio of green nut shells to water, you can achieve darker or lighter shades. The leaves and bark of walnut stems are also used for hair coloring.
A good, long-lasting chestnut color can be achieved using peat. To do this, take 10 g of peat, cleared of sand and crushed into fine powder, mixed with 100 ml (0.5 cups) of ammonia and 100 ml of boiled (preferably distilled) water; the mixture is kept for 2 days in a tightly sealed glass container in a dark, cool place with frequent shaking. Then the mixture is heated to a boil, filtered through 3-5 layers of gauze and evaporated over a fire until it reaches the consistency of molasses. The resulting extract is mixed with 100 ml of water, 20 ml of 95′ alcohol and 2 ml of cologne. The mixture is applied to the hair for 30-40 minutes, after which it is washed off with water.
You can dye your hair black for a short time using harmless Chinese mascara. To do this, 5 ml of Chinese ink is mixed with 3 g of gum arabic and 100 ml (0.5 cups) of water. The same composition can be recommended for coloring eyebrows and eyelashes.
A bright golden tone of hair can be obtained by rubbing the hair with a decoction of onion peels. The decoction is prepared from 30-60 g per 1 glass of water. The filtered solution is used to wipe the hair daily until the desired color is obtained.
A light brown hair color can be obtained by wetting the hair with a rhubarb decoction of 20 g of dry rhubarb stems per 0.5 liter of natural white wine. The broth is evaporated to half the volume. The rhubarb extract obtained after filtering is rubbed onto the hair several times until the desired color is obtained.

And the next day in the morning, the hair is wiped with the following composition: sodium hyposulfate (thiosulfate) - 30 g, water (distilled) - 100 ml.
A 3% solution of potassium permanganate dyes a chestnut color, but the color is not durable enough, and with frequent use the hair becomes brittle.
Silver preparations give good results. Their disadvantage is an unnatural metallic sheen. Silver preparations can be used to dye hair black, chestnut, light brown and light.
To obtain a black color, use the following 2 solutions. solution No. 1.

Dark hair can be dyed lighter with 3% hydrogen peroxide. A stronger concentration of perhydrol should not be used, as this will dry out the hair, make it brittle and brittle, and cause skin irritation.
The most harmless dye that gives long-lasting, natural and beautiful hair color is henna. She dyes her hair reddish. With careful use of henna, you can get chestnut and dark brown hair color with a slight reddish tint. In combination with basma (indigo) you can get shades from light brown to black.
To obtain a black color, a warm paste of henna and water is rubbed into the hair and left for 1 hour, then rinsed off. hair is dried. After this, basma gruel and water are rubbed into them. Soon the hair acquires a bluish-black color.

Hello, dear readers! Irina and Igor are with you again. None of us are getting younger, which means that it becomes more difficult for our entire body to serve its needs and nourish all organs fully. And first of all, this affects our hair. It's no secret that gray hair is an age-related phenomenon.
However, today gray hair can be seen in twenty-year-old boys or girls. What is the reason for this phenomenon and how to get rid of gray hair at home will be discussed today in our article.
Causes
In addition to age, with which the gradual destruction of the pigment that colors our hair occurs, there are a number of other reasons that can cause gray hair. This:
- Heredity
- Hormonal imbalances

All these reasons can cause the appearance of gray hair on your head or lead to its increase.
Methods of disposal

Most often, the way out of this situation is permanent hair coloring or the use of expensive medical services to activate natural pigment formation in the scalp.
The remaining reasons are completely removable, which means that the process of gray hair can be stopped.
Gray hair on “young” heads is most often caused by insufficient nutrition of the scalp, frequent damage from styling products, and various stresses in a person’s life.
Malnutrition can lead not only to gray hair, but also to the problem of hair loss. The book will introduce you to the solution to the last identified problem. "How to stop hair loss" , which contains a lot of secrets on this issue.
You can ensure normal nutrition to the scalp, first of all, by adhering to the principles of rational nutrition. Make sure your body gets all the necessary minerals and vitamins from food.
You can also nourish your scalp by using various nourishing masks and balms, a wide selection of which you can find in the online store Ozon.ru In chapter "Beauty and health" .
You can avoid damage to the hair structure when heat treated with a hairdryer or straightener by using automatic comb straightener .
But whatever the reason for the appearance of gray hair, in any case, at the first signs of it, it is necessary to begin prevention, which may not get rid of gray hair entirely, but will not allow it to spread to the entire head.
Folk recipes
The most common ways to prevent gray hair are folk recipes, including, for example, an infusion of red pepper.
To prepare it, you will need six large red peppers, which must be placed in a dark bowl and filled with half a liter of vodka. Leave the resulting mixture in a dark place for three weeks. Then take it out and before each wash, rub a spoonful of the product into the roots of your hair.
Another very effective remedy is tincture based on ginseng. Ginseng root should be crushed and poured with half a liter of vodka, then allowed to sit for ten days. This tincture should be taken every morning on an empty stomach, one teaspoon. But please note that this infusion is not suitable for people with high blood pressure.
Sufficient nutrition for hair can be provided by rosehip infusion. To prepare it, pour boiling water over a handful of fruits and additionally heat them over the fire for another ten minutes, then let them sit for about an hour in a dark, dry place. You need to drink a glass of this infusion three times a day. If this infusion is additionally mixed with cherry juice, it can be used as a hair rinse.
A mask with colorless henna or basma will serve as a safe coloring for gray hair, as well as additional nutrition for the scalp.
The mask itself gives golden or reddish shades. To achieve a darker shade, you should add coffee grounds to the mask. If your color is light brown, then a chamomile decoction is added to the henna; if it is chestnut, then a decoction of black tea is added. A decoction of walnut peels mixed with henna can make the tone of your hair even darker.
A black tea mask helps stop the process of gray hair. You will need to add a spoonful of simple table or sea salt to steeply brewed black tea. You should use this mask no more than twice a week and keep it on for no more than fifteen minutes.
Burdock root lotion is no less effective. To prepare it, you need two tablespoons of crushed burdock root, which you need to cook for thirty minutes over medium heat. After that, add two tablespoons of dill seeds to the infusion and cook for another five minutes, then let it sit for three hours. This lotion should be rubbed into the scalp morning and evening for at least two months.
A balm based on onion peels should be rubbed into the scalp every day for a month. To prepare it, you need to boil a glass of onion peel for thirty minutes, then strain and add two tablespoons of glycerin. The same balm can be prepared using nettle decoction.

Gray hair is completely healthy hair that is devoid of pigment. The color of the hair depends on the substance melanin, which is produced by melanocytes. The more it is, the darker the hair.
As we age, less melanin is produced, which is why gray hair appears. As a rule, on average, in men this process starts around the age of 35, in women by 45. There are cases when the first hair, devoid of pigment, is visible already at the age of 20, this is often due to hereditary factors or the consequences of stress.
The appearance of gray hair can also be caused by a lack of vitamins and dysfunction of the thyroid gland. Unfortunately, no special remedies or cures for gray hair have yet been invented. You can slow down this moment indirectly - without abusing coffee and alcohol, as well as smoking.
Proper nutrition, exercise, and vitamin and mineral supplements will help delay signs of hair loss. Regular head massage is also helpful to improve blood circulation. When a large amount of gray hair appears, the best remedy today is to dye the strands. In this case, it is recommended to use light colors and colorize.
If you decide to dye your gray hair for the first time, try to go to an experienced hairdresser, because at home this procedure can give an unpredictable shade.
