When your hair goes grey it is due to the fact that the cells in
the follicles called "Melanocytes" no longer generate pigment, the main
one being melanin. The hair follicle loses all pigment over time and
eventually goes white. The white against your darker hair give the
effect of grey. As your hair is no longer as healthy as it use to be you
need to consider treating it to prevent it from going brittle and
lifeless.
The vital vitamins that you would need in this case is
B12, and Omega 3's. You can take these supplements as tablets or you can
use a shampoo that contains these types of nutrients. There are many
products on the market that promise to treat Grey Hair or even take Gray
Hair away. Beware as there are only a few that will actually be
effective.
If you are looking for a shampoo that will replace the
lost nutrients then you need to make sure that the ingredients of the
shampoo will actually treat the problem. If the shampoo contains Emu
oils then you know that the product will work. The Emu oil contained in
the shampoo is known as the follicle awakener and has been used by many
to help prevent the onset of gray hair. Every hair must have omega 3's
to grow properly. And Emu oil is the only ingredient that we know that
can moisturize the hair enough to get it back up to an 8% moisture rate
as it is supposed to be.
Now although a shampoo with these types
of ingredients will help with the lack of moisture in your hair you may
find in some cases it will actually darken the hair and reverse the
graying process to some degree. The Emu oil actually works at the root
of the hair follicle by penetrating the hair strand rejuvenating the
pigment.
Just because you have Grey Hair doesn't mean you
shouldn't treat it with conditioner and shampoo. Grey Hair can look
healthy if treated properly. If you use the correct products you will
find your hair will be healthy, full of volume and in some cases you
could even get your original hair color back.
