Graying Hair – Exposed

greyhairEver wonder why hair turns gray? Well, you’re not alone for a lot of people are pondering the same story but researchers have once and for all found the answer to this old question, bleach. The graying hair is a result of the suppression of the body’s natural pigment generating factories and with hair, it goes even farther, the body’s cells actually naturally synthesizes hydrogen peroxide or bleach which manifests itself as the cause of graying hair. Wasn’t it wisdom, well sorry guys for that old adage has nothing to do with the fact that graying hair is natural and has nothing to do with your wisdom and brain. Seems the body has a natural bleach factory in the cells which in time generate so much of the stuff it shows in your hair. the hair becomes gray from the bottom up as it is formed as opposed to up going down.
So you people who bleach your hair, it may be sooner than you think that you will not be needing that store bought bleach for your hair for it is natural and everybody goes through the same process as they age. Eating foods rich in anti-oxidants is a good regimen that may help our cells continue to function properly thus eliminating the free-radicals that may cause hair to hasten bleach production. Greying hair is not something to be afraid of for it is natural and a sure sign of age, just hope we can accept that easier for hair color is still a hot commodity.
