In this video, we will take a look at the most common causes of grey hair.
Premature greying of hair, also known as canities, can have negative effects on appearance,
confidence, self-esteem, and social acceptance of the affected individual
Hair pigmentation is one of the most unique features in humans ranging from black, brown, and
blonde to red.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO PREVENT HAIRFALL

FIVE FOODS FOR HAIR LOSS – DIET FOR HEALTHY HAIR

The colour of human hair is due to the pigment “melanin” produced by melanocytes,
the same cells which are responsible for the pigmentation of our skin. There are two main forms of
hair pigment. There’s eumelanin and pheomelanin. Eumelanin is what we see in brunettes and
darker-haired people, and pheomelanin is what we see in blonds and redheads.
These Melanocytes are located in the hair follicle which is basically from where the root of the hair
originates. Each hair grows from a single Hair follicle.
As the strand of the hair grows, melanocytes inject the pigment (melanin) into cells containing
keratin.
Keratin is the protein that makes up our hair, skin, and nails. Throughout the years,
melanocytes continue to inject pigment into the hair’s keratin, giving it a colorful hue.
With age comes a reduction of melanin. The hair turns grey and eventually white, and this is a
natural process. But the problem arises when this reduction in the production of melanin comes
early in age due to some other reasons and there are plenty of reasons due to which this can occur.
Let’s look at some of the most common reasons for premature greying of hair.
