<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhy Does Our Hair Turn Gray? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
For understanding the whole greying process, one needs to understand the basic structure of the hair. Every hair strand consists of concentric layers. The outer surface layer is the cuticle; it is made up of small transparent scales that help protect your hair and give them a shiny finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cortex is the second layer; it is responsible for the color of the hair. Due to some external factors, the cortex can become incapable of producing the color pigment, melanin. Without this pigment, your hair turns white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When this white hair blends with your other dark hair, it will give you the grey hair impression. This is one of the main reasons for grey hair. (1<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n While heredity, smoking, chewing tobacco, and emotional stress can cause grey hair, lack of nourishment is also one of the main reasons for greying. A few of the external factors behind premature greying can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exposure to the UV rays which damages the healthy hair follicles \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ayurveda has other reasons for the cause of grey hair. Let us get to know them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As per the ancestral Ayurveda, the three doshas, Vata, Kapha, and pitta, regulate body activity. Depending upon the environment, geography, and natural genetics, every individual has a different mixture of these three doshas. This harmony is referred to as the intrinsic 'Prakriti' of the person. Any inequality happening in these dosha levels can result in diseases. \"Premature greying, known as 'Akala Palitya' in Ayurveda, is the outcome of a disturbance in Pitta-Vata doshas. The Bhrajaka pitta, a subtype of the Pitta dosha, is responsible for your hair, skin complexion, and color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is associated with melanocytes that generate melanin pigment responsible for your hair's natural color. Suppose there is any kind of inequality in the Bhrajaka Pitta. In that case, it results in insufficient melanin generation, which in turn results in premature greying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using hair products with toxic chemicals can result in more greying of the hair. But, don't worry! Mother Nature blessed us with many natural ingredients, not one or two. Many home remedies will help you get back your dark hair. Help is right in the kitchen. It is possible to get rid of that grey hair naturally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is always ideal to use natural remedies for your hair to get rid of those pesky greys rather than going behind the chemical treatments.
