FAQ: Gray Hair

What causes grey hair?

The pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die as we age. As a strand of hair develops, it will have less melanin since there are fewer pigment cells in the follicle. As a result, hair acquires a more translucent color (silver, gray or white) as it grows.

Is gray hair caused by stress?

According to a new study made by the American Hair Research Society (AHRS), stress can cause gray hair. Scientists discovered that the body’s “fight-or-flight” reaction is involved in graying hair.

Can you reverse gray hair?

There are currently no viable therapies available to reverse or prevent the graying process. You can only reverse gray hair to some extent, according to new research. However, in order to investigate this further, we need additional research.
