If you want to remove gray hair, how to eliminate it?

How to get rid of white hair?

The color of hair mainly depends on the amount of melanin in the hair cortex. Hair itself is mainly composed of keratin formed after cell aging. It is a type of protein and is originally colorless and transparent. The reason why the hair turns black is because melanin runs into the protein and dyes the protein black, so the hair becomes black. The more pigment there is, the darker the hair will be. As the pigment decreases, the hair turns gray, and if it is even less, it turns white.

The amount of pigment produced by melanocytes is determined by the nutritional metabolism in the hair roots. If the nutritional metabolism is good, the pigment production will be normal and it will still maintain its original black color. If not enough pigment is produced, it will become grayer and whiter. After conditioning, the melanocytes are restored to normal levels, the pigment they produce returns to normal, and the hair can return to its normal black color.

How to reduce and prevent gray hair?

1. Maintaining a good attitude, optimistic mood and avoiding excessive mental stimulation are key factors in preventing and treating gray hair. We should learn to regulate our emotions well, not be too happy or too sad, and let everything take its course.

2. Pay attention to the quality of diet and eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, trace elements and vitamins, such as fresh fish, milk, animal liver and kidney, black sesame, seaweed, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. Under the guidance of a doctor, using vitamins, folic acid, Chinese medicines such as Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, mulberry, etc. as appropriate can help prevent or delay the generation and development of gray hair.

3. Adhere to proper exercise, adequate sleep and scalp massage. When you have nothing to do, massage your scalp more to promote blood circulation in the head. Strengthening physical exercise can transport blood to every corner of the scalp, which can enhance the function of producing melanocytes in the hair.

4. You must always do a good job of sun protection for your hair. If the head is exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, the melanin cells are easily damaged, and not only will the hair become dry, but the hair color will also fade. You can wear a hat or hold a parasol to protect yourself at all times and avoid the damage of ultraviolet rays.

5. Protect your kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hair is the residue of blood, and the kidney’s essence is in the hair. Therefore, when the heart and kidney are not connected (insomnia, neurasthenia), or when the innate endowment is insufficient, or when excessive thinking consumes the essence and blood, or when worry and fear damage the kidney essence, the hair will turn white. You can eat more kidney-nourishing foods, such as soybeans and black beans, sesame seeds, wolfberries, etc.
