Greying of Hair

Graying of hair is a natural process. Hair turns gradually grey (gray) due to a reduction in the production of melanin pigment in the hair bulb as the age increases. When hair starts greying prematurely, it can cause a great deal of anxiety and hopelessness. Premature graying or falling of hair signifies some deficiency of the body. The quality of hair depends upon the general health. A polluted atmosphere, scorching heat, humid climate affects the beauty of the hair adversely. Likewise, tension, anxiety, grief, disease, frustration or brooding is also harmful. To make dry hair look shiny and healthy, try a soft massage with warm oil.
