When your hair goes grey it is due to the fact that the cells in
the follicles called "Melanocytes" no longer generate pigment, the main
one being melanin. The hair follicle loses all pigment over time and
eventually goes white. The white against your darker hair give the
effect of grey. As your hair is no longer as healthy as it use to be you
need to consider treating it to prevent it from going brittle and
lifeless.
The vital vitamins that you would need in this case is
B12, and Omega 3's. You can take these supplements as tablets or you can
use a shampoo that contains these types of nutrients. There are many
products on the market that promise to treat Grey Hair or even take Gray
Hair away. Beware as there are only a few that will actually be
effective.
If you are looking for a shampoo that will replace the
lost nutrients then you need to make sure that the ingredients of the
shampoo will actually treat the problem. If the shampoo contains Emu
oils then you know that the product will work. The Emu oil contained in
the shampoo is known as the follicle awakener and has been used by many
to help prevent the onset of gray hair. Every hair must have omega 3's
to grow properly. And Emu oil is the only ingredient that we know that
can moisturize the hair enough to get it back up to an 8% moisture rate
as it is supposed to be.
Now although a shampoo with these types
of ingredients will help with the lack of moisture in your hair you may
find in some cases it will actually darken the hair and reverse the
graying process to some degree. The Emu oil actually works at the root
of the hair follicle by penetrating the hair strand rejuvenating the
pigment.
Just because you have Grey Hair doesn't mean you
shouldn't treat it with conditioner and shampoo. Grey Hair can look
healthy if treated properly. If you use the correct products you will
find your hair will be healthy, full of volume and in some cases you
could even get your original hair color back.

Grey Hair – Causes and Home Remedies
7:43:00 AM
Graying of hair is not an unusual thing to happen. The age when graying starts depends on one's genetic inheritance. Aging is often a reason that causes the hair to turn grayish. But premature graying of hair is a condition that demands the need to pay attention to the root cause. Nonetheless, graying of hair is a normal part of the aging process unless there is an underlying medical condition that is causing the lack of pigmentation.
Symptoms
Loss of hair colour before the age of 35 is termed premature greying. In turn, the thinner, grey hairs then have a chance to grow sooner and more rapidly than normal. The transformation is quick but it is not Causes of Greying of hair
Persons suffering from chronic cold and sinusitis and those who use warm water for washing their hair are more likely to be victims of this condition. A faulty diet and mental worries are the two primary causes of premature greying of hair. Lack of some of the B vitamins, iron, copper, and iodine in the daily diet is said to be a contributory factor. The common factor remains that grey hair has some pigment left in it, but not the amount it had when it was the natural color Other causes of premature greying of hair are an unclean condition of the scalp, washing the hair with hot water, drying it with an electric dryer, and use of hair dyes. Heredity is also a predisposing factor.
Home Remedies
Amaranth is another effective home remedy for hair disorders. Application of the fresh juice of the leaves of this vegetable helps the hair to retain its black color and prevents it from premature graying. It also helps the growth of the hair and keeps it soft.
Premature Greying of Hair treatment using Indian Gooseberry. The use of Indian gooseberry is the foremost among the home remedies found beneficial in the prevention and treatment of premature greying of hair. This is a valuable hair tonic for enriching hair growth and hair pigmentation.
Amla Hair Oil: Amla hair oil can be made at home itself, by adding fresh juice of Indian gooseberries to pure coconut oil. This should be boiled till the Amla juice is completely absorbed in the oil. This oil should be applied after the above said massage.
Liberal intake of curry leaves is considered beneficial in preventing premature graying of hair. These leaves have the property of providing vitality and strength to hair roots. New hair roots that grow are healthier and contain a normal pigment. The leaves can be used in the form of chutney, or may be squeezed in buttermilk. When the leaves are boiled in coconut oil, the oil forms an excellent hair tonic to stimulate hair growth and bring back hair pigmentation.
The role of proper diet in preventing and arresting premature graying of hair is very important. Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables is absolutely essential to facilitate the supply of essential vitamins and minerals.

Curing Grey Hair Naturally!
5:51:00 AM
When you think of grey hair,you think that only people who are over 50 year old can have grey hair.But this is not true.Grey hair can be seen in people in their 20s,30s,even in their late teens. Causes of Grey Hair Or Premature Grey Hair:
1.Growing old. As a person ages, the cells in the hair root reduces the production of melanin and the hair slowly turns grey.2.Heredity.Genes play a large role in graying.3.Stress.Being constantly under stress can make your hair turn grey.4.Smoking.Smoking is linked to premature graying.A 1996 British Medical Journal study conducted by J.G. Mosley, MD found that tobacco smoking may cause premature graying. Smokers were found to be four times more likely to begin graying prematurely, compared to nonsmokers in the study.5.Lack of Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA).
PABA is typically known as the hair color vitamin.PABA is required for the synthesis of folic acid within the body and contributes to the proper metabolism of protein. It has the ability to block against the UV rays of the sun and is commonly used in sunscreen preparations.The usual dose of PABA is between 25 and 300 mg for adults.
A deficiency in PABA may lead to grey hair. Research has shown its effects on animal hair cells. It is seen that when animal cells have been reintroduced to the vitamin, normal coloration is restored.
Like wise,studies conducted on humans found that when every meal was supplemented with 200 mg of the vitamin PABA, seventy percent of the grays returned to their original color.Another study found that PABA, combined with Folic Acid, successfully reversed gray hair as well.Good sources of PABA include:Sources: Brewer's yeast, molasses, liver, kidney, whole grains.
6.Lack of Omega-3 fatty acids such as cod liver oil,salmon..etc in one's diet.7.Excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol, and fried foods. 8.Unclean condition of one's scalp.9.Deficiency of B vitamins such as Biotin, Folic Acid, B12 and Pantothenic Acid (vitamin B5).10.Lack of copper in the body.premature graying is a sign of a copper deficiency.11.Thyroid Imbalance.12.Werner syndrome and pernicious anemia can also cause premature graying.Werner Syndrome is a very rare disorder characterized by premature or accelerated aging.Recommended Treatment of Grey Hair Or Premature Grey Hair:
To prevent and reverse premature and excessive greying of hair,do the following:1.Ensure that you diet includes foods rich in Protein,vitamins,and minerals.2.Massage your scalp with Omega 3 rich shampoos or oils such as Emu oil.These oils actually treat the hair follicle and rejuvenate the pigment generating cells called Melanocytes.3.Reduce stress .4.IncludeYogurt,Honey,vinegar,Blackstrap Molasses,Apple Cider, Black Walnuts,Sesame Seeds,Pumpkin seeds,Flax seed,and bean sprouts in your diet.5.Take anti-gray hair tablets and creams such as Melancor,Reminex, Fo-Ti Root,Shen Min,and Restoria Discreet.6.Quit smoking for good.7.Take Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) tablet or include food such as( Brewer's yeast, molasses, liver, kidney, whole grains) in your diet.8.Reduce intake or better yet avoid caffeine, salt,refined sugars.spicy and fried foods.

.
11.Get enough sleep everyday.12.Exercise.13.Take a copper supplement.Colloidal Copper is recommended.14.Take Tyrosine Supplement.Tyrosine is fundamentally required for melanin formation. A product known as Gleevec, which reversed gray hair in some people who used it, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor.15.Take Antioxidants.Antioxidants help destroy free radicals in the body which cause Oxidative stress that damage cells including hair cells.16.Take Biotin.Biotin delays the onset of gray hair and may retard the further progression of gray hair.17.Take Folic acid.Folic acid helps to prevent gray hair.18.Take Vitamin B12 and Pantothenic Acid (vitamin B5).19.Try Eugenol Oil.Eugenol is the technical name for clove oil.When applied topically to the scalp has been demonstrated to restore hair color.20.Try Ligustrum.Ligustrum is used in China to prevent gray hair.21.Try Ashwagandha.Ashwagandha is also referred to as "Indian Ginseng'".Ashwagandha helps prevent and treat gray hair by increasing the melanin content of the hair.22.Try Indian Amla Oil.Amla is one of the richest sources of natural Vitamin C.23.Try Maka (Eclipta Alba).Maka helps prevent falling hair, stops premature greying and treat insomnia.24.Try Motia Rosha Oil.Motia Rosha helps stimulates pigment cells of hair.It helps hair growth, treats and prevents grey hair, dandruff, split ends and imparts healthy glow to hair. 25.Try Eclipta alba (Bhringraj).The fresh juice of Eclipta alba (Bhringraj) blackens the hair,and it is the best natural hair dye. 26.Wash your hair with with cool or lukewarm water when bathing.Avoid hot water.Washing your hair with very hot water or using hair-dryers excessively weaken roots, and may lead to premature greying. 27.Try Rosemary oil.Rosemary oil is believed to gradually darken grey hair over a period of time. 28.Try to massage your scalp with Almond Oil,and Coconut oil.Allow enough time for oil to be absorbed. Most oils are not easily absorbed by the hair, which is why you need to leave oil on for at least 30 or forty-five minutes.Keep in mind that you won't see drastic overnight results Following these recommendations; any results will be seen gradually over the course of a few months. And it should also be mentioned here that if you stop following these recommendations, you will lose any benefit you gained and the grey will return.
