The Silver Lining

{Greyheadness:}

The loss of hair color due to a

gradual fall in melanin production in the hair bulb.

What does that mean? Hair color is produced by tiny hair pigment cells/melanin or color within our hair shafts. As we age, the production of those pigments gradually declines until our hair stops making pigment/color. New hairs grow in without pigment, resulting in grey hair. How does this translate for our lovely natural hair? "The Senile Stage" {as described by one of our followers... Thanks Naomi!} Mean & grey stubborn strands that refuse to curl. Unfortunately there is no scientific evidence that any diet, herb, supplement, or product can reduce or reverse grey hair. But why worry, many people look fab with grey hair!

Need I say more?

So what should we do with those unruly silver linings?

Usually people notice their first grey hairs near their temples. Then the greyness spreads to the crown, and later to the back of the head. The best advice I can give is to show a little extra care to those area with creamy oil based moisturizers, shea butter is a great organic way to show a lil' TLC. You can also "train" your hair to curl by two strand twists or coiling the hair often. Love those streaks of wisdom and always look for the
