Premature Gray Hair
I suppose one could class Premature Gray hair as going Gray in your early 20’s. As there are actually many people that do actually go Gray at this age one could argue that going gray prematurely could actually even be younger.
We say its premature as most people will only start going Gray in their late 30’s and early 40’s. These age bands do vary but the common factor is as we age the cells in our hair follicles called Melanocytes stop generating the pigment which gives our hair its color. As we age the generating strength of the Melanocytes gets weaker and weaker making out hair slowly lose its color until it no longer has any pigment and actually ends up transparent. This contrast of transparent hair against out darker hair gives the Gray appearance. The hair follicle itself is not Gray in color.
Taking 15 mg of zinc along with 1 mg of copper each day may possibly help to prevent or delay the onset of Gray hair. Other nutrients that seem to help the hair retain its color include vitamin B5, biotin and folic acid. Some B-complex supplements contain these nutrients, and it may help you to take such a supplement each day.
Men and Gray Hair
Gray hair is one of the most obvious signs of aging, apart from wrinkles. Even the least vain man will start feeling troubled with having gray hair sooner or later. Men, sadly, start having gray hair younger than women and gray hair in men often comes hand-in-hand with balding and…of course, the beer belly!
When, exactly, do men start getting gray hair? This varies from one man to the next. Some get it as early as in their teens and some get it in their thirties…and the lucky ones experience the first strand of gray hair in their forties or fifties.
Men’s hair will start turning gray at a very gradual pace. They don’t turn gray overnight although it feels that way. The graying of men’s hair usually starts at the temples…and it slowly creeps upward towards the top of the head. It can be very attractive at this point. However, as the years wear on, men’s gray hair will slowly but surely – turn WHITE.
Most men in their forties will have some gray hair near their scalp. If you don’t look hard, you might not even see it. The process is slow and quite gradual. As men continue to age, hair on the men’s body and face will slowly turn gray too. Usually, however, it’s the hair on the head that turns gray first. The only hair on men that may or may not turn gray is the hair around the armpit, chest and pubic area.

Gray Hair in Men
Were you sixteen or younger when you found your first gray hair? Horrifying, I’m sure. Now you are in twenties or thirties… a young man with grays. If you are insecure about your hair, then read on.
It’s a well-known fact that men with gray hair look distinguished, while we women with gray hair look, well… old. Unfair, I know.
Though it may be hard for you to believe, there are women who feel that gray hair in a young man is just about the sexiest thing there is. There may be something about the way the gray hairs bring out your eyes. Or could it be that every man with grey hair is also genetically predisposed to be a gorgeous and spectacular person all-around?
If you are a man who has been dying the gray hair for years, I urge you to stop. Now. Let the grays show! If you doubt this, then try your natural hair color for just a little while. If the presence of gray hair doesn’t improve your luck with women, you can always go back to the bottle.
Alternately, if you are a man who has lived with gray hair for all your adult life and if you think life is better on the gray less side, then go ahead and color it. Be boring like everybody else. If your personality is at all interesting, I guarantee that you will return to your natural hair color.
There is nothing sexier, physically, than gray hair in a young man. Period.
How to stop Gray Hair
Do you wish that you knew how to stop gray hair? You are not alone. Millions of people go gray every year, particularly these days with the baby boomers hitting their fifties. The fact is that in some cases, gray hair is fairly easy to stop. It just takes some research, perseverance and patience.
The remedy for stopping your gray hair depends on the cause of your grays. If the cause is a vitamin B deficiency, for example, stopping gray hair may be as simple as supplementing your diet with B vitamins.
On the other hand, if your gray hair is due to a genetic predisposition for it, the grays may be more difficult to stop. However, even in this case, it is not impossible to stop the hair from turning gray.
If you have a family history of gray hair, it is possible that you really genetically predisposed to a vitamin B malabsorption. Does this mean that you are doomed to have gray hair? Not necessarily. In fact, it could still be stopped.
Do not ask yourself “Why can’t I stop my gray hair?” Rather, ask yourself: “Why am I not absorbing nutrients properly?” The answer may lie in the lifestyle choices that you have made over time. Your gray hair may just be a symptom of unhealthy habits such as smoking, and eating too many processed foods. The result is seemingly unstoppable gray hair. Superficial solutions won’t last. Dyed hair grows back.
A long-term commitment to optimal health is your best bet for stopping gray hair. Once your habits improve and your body is able to efficiently use the nutrients that you are feeding it, the gray hair should stop. At the very least, your hair and overall appearance will be younger and more radiant.
Hairloss
For many people hairloss is one of the single most stressful events in their lives. We have taken losing hair (and even more so when its sudden), as the beginning of the end, the time when we should start planning our last will and testament, being nice to the kids and getting in touch with long lost relatives, as death is just a kiss away. This is obviously untrue, but where did we get this perception of hairloss?
Hair goes way back. I’m not talking a couple of centuries here, I’m talking thousands of years. You can even read about it in the bible. Why do you think that Samson’s strength came from his hair? Because the people of that time saw that old people were weak, and they also saw that they tended to have less hair than younger people. Don’t forget that the average life span in that era was 35 to 40 years. So as soon as someone started losing hair, bang! they most likely died. It didn’t take a genius to put two and two together and come up with three! But it doesn’t end there. The Romans wore laurels to hide their hairloss and the Egyptians invented all kinds of remedies, from herbal shampoos to blood.
You would have thought that in this new era of fast cars, space travel and e-just about everything, that the problems of hairloss would have diminished. But it seems that now because we live so much longer we need to find more things to worry about to fill our lives.
Hair Loss
We regard our hair (mistakenly as it turns out) to be the symbol of our strength, happiness and virility. So when the day arrives in some men’s lives where they first notice significant hair loss, it can be quite a shocking experience. We lose as a general rule 100 hairs per day. Nothing wrong with that, it’s quite natural. But when for several diverse reasons serious hair loss occurs, we do tend to panic and begin thinking that life is nearly over.
But there is hope out there, and lots of it. Where there is personal suffering there is money to be made, and today the hair loss market is literally packed with all kinds of potions, pills, wigs and treatments.
The problem a lot of balding men face is which product or treatment they should go for. Every hair loss item available today will tell you it is the best and is 100% effective. Obviously they can’t all be true otherwise there wouldn’t be anyone suffering from hair loss!
The best advice when dealing with this delicate problem is to seek medical help. Finding reasons behind sudden hair loss is almost as important as the cure. If hair loss in your family is hereditary, or if stress is to blame for example, different solutions will have better or worse results.
This is exactly what happened to me when I first discovered my hair loss problem when I was around thirty two years old. Luckily for me I have always had a slightly rebellious nature, so after trying a few special shampoos I took the only affirmative action available to me; I shaved my head! Now I’m not bald but shaved and look much younger and cooler than I did when I had hair.
Hair Growth
Learning how and why our hair grows is essential when faced with impending baldness or thinning hair. We have on average around 100,000 individual hairs on our scalp, but actual hair growth only occurs in 90% of these hairs at any one time. The other 10% of hair is in the resting period. Hair growth lasts from 2 to 5 years, and when the hair stops growing it falls out naturally. For this reason we lose from 50-100 hairs each day, which is perfectly normal.
The hair growth phase is called the ‘anagen’ or growing phase. Each hair can grow as much as one centimeter a month, and more quickly at the top than at the edges. Luckily for us, all the hair we have enters this phase at different times, otherwise everyone would be bald every couple of years. Mind you, maybe that would be a good idea. The hair that we can see is called the shaft. These grow from something called the follicle. Kind of like a tulip bulb, only smaller. Actually, hairs are nothing like tulips because the tulip stem is alive whereas hair shafts are actually quite dead.
The second phase of hair growth is the ‘telogen’ phase, where each hair basically kicks back and relaxes for about 3-5 months. During this period the hair stops growing but doesn’t fall out. This happens in the ‘catagen’ phase, when the hairs reach the end of the cycle and naturally fall out. Obviously, we can help or hinder this process so it is a good idea to develop a healthy attitude regarding our hair. Such actions as shampooing, diet and brushing can have a positive or negative effect.
Coloring Gray Hair
If it seems to you that grays have overtaken that image in the mirror, then it’s time to try a temporary hair color for your gray hair. You may think you’re ready to say “goodbye” to your present hair color and “hello” to a younger look, but what if you have never colored your hair before? You are likely to be apprehensive about choosing the right shade of hair color, or perhaps you heard horror stories about gray hair being “resistant” to dye.
Don’t be afraid to step out of your land of gray hair and to venture forth into the world of bottled hair color. Well, okay. How about taking a baby-step? Temporary Hair coloring is a good way to experiment. All it takes is one fifteen minute shampoo application to coat the hair cuticle with color. The temporary color will wash out in one to two shampoos.
Another perk to temporary hair coloring is that there is no harsh peroxide or ammonia. It’s a nice “first step” to change the gray or a quick way to “touch up” past color treatments. Best part of all, it rinses out. That means no commitment to a hair color that you really don’t like. Also, there are no gray roots as the hair grows in since the shampoo will continue to fill the growth with new color.
You might want to have the color professionally applied to your hair, especially the first time. Otherwise, it may be difficult to get consistent coverage of grays on your own. Also, be aware that the tint may run if the hair gets wet or it could stain clothing and linens. A good stylist is always your best resource for having the best product and color applied to your hair.
Grey Hair Treatments
There are several methods of grey hair treatments, with effects ranging from subtle to stunning. You can find the look that’s right for you, depending on how you feel about treating your grey hair and on the effect you wish to achieve.
So, you just want to add a little “life” into your dull grey? The subtlest form of hair treatment can be the use of a mild henna shampoo, or a semi-permanent stain. The best part about henna is that the hair receives a conditioning treatment, ideal for grey hair which tends to lack nutrients and have a course texture.
If you are going after a much more drastic hair change, permanent treatments are the way to go. This is probably the best choice for those who have more than twenty percent grey hair. Stylists and colorists actually prefer permanent color treatments for grey hair. When selected and applied properly, these dyes can provide complete coverage and consistent color results. Grey hair literally vanishes.
The procedure for treating grey hair with a permanent dye involves the use of peroxide and ammonia. These chemicals will open the hair cuticle, at which time the colorist will add the selected tint. Low-maintenance women beware; you absolutely must return to the salon every four to six weeks for touch-up treatments. Otherwise, the grey hair re-growth will be all-too-obvious… a major faux pas.
Don’t delay dealing with your grays! Get over to your favorite hair salon and treat yourself to that new look you have been dreaming of.
