Who would not like to have a mane of shiny, healthy and beautiful hair?

But unfortunately very few people are granted this wish. Even more unfortunate is the fact that the people who are granted this wish do not value this gift and end up losing it.

The everyday stress and the increasing pollution are the two biggest enemies of the hair and if you do not take proper as well as good care of your hair, regardless of whether you are blessed with lovely tresses, you would surely lose it in no time at all.

Hence it is important to care for your hair if you want to have hair that would indeed be your crowning glory.

One of the biggest hair problems faced by people today all over the world is the problem of premature graying of hair.

Even children as small as ten year olds are suffering from this problem.

Apart from the above-stated reasons of stress and pollution there can be other various reasons for this problem as well the other reasons are:

1. Anemia

2. Effects of Drugs

3. Hormonal Imbalances

4. Hypo or Hyperthyroidism and Malnutrition.

The hairs are colored by melanin which are injected into each hair follicle by the melanocytes cells located at the roots of each hair stands.

The above mentioned reasons cause these melanocytes cells to stop injecting melanin, causing the hairs to turn grey or completely white.

The most important step to preventing this from happening or from curing this problem is to first find out the reason behind the graying of your hair.

It would be much easier to find a solution once the reason is known. And for knowing the reason it would be best if you consult a specialist since a professional would know the best way to deal with this problem. Coloring your hair with ammonia based chemical hair colors would not only provide no solution at all but would actually aggravate the problem. Hence instead of visiting a hair salon to cover the gray hairs, visit a specialist clinic to solve the problem permanently. If there are no other ways than to color your hair, then make sure you opt for natural hair dyes like henna instead of the chemical dyes that contains harmful ammonia. After all it would not be practical to invite another hair problem like hair loss while trying to get rid of gray hairs.
