I imagine you are reading this after nervously typing ‘what causes grey hair’ into a search engine. Well sit back, relax, and let me tell you. The first sprouting of grey hair and how fast you go grey varies amazingly. The majority of people start getting grey hairs in their late 20s but don’t actually notice them. If you want a one word answer to your question of what causes grey hair then here it is:

MELANIN. This (well the lack of) is what causes grey hair. Melanin gives hair its color, and grey hair is caused by the gradual reduction of melanin at the root of each hair called the hair follicle. The hair follicles (for one reason or another) produce less and less melanin, and the result is a loss of hair fiber color. What we actually call grey hair is not grey at all if you look at the individual hair fibers. Some hairs have some color while others are virtually white. We say grey hair because the overall impression is something sad. Incidentally, blonde people are more prone to get a completely white head of hair in old age because their hair fiber has a very low amount of melanin in it to start with.
So now you know what causes grey hair, but what are you going to do about it? You can dye it, you can use shampoos, you can shave it, you can even use herbs and other products. But these methods are either too messy, too expensive or just too darn extreme! Now there is a new product on the market which is more natural and efficient. Its name is Melancor -NH™ and works on the roots of the hair where the problems are.

When confronted with the fact that grey hair causes more depression in men than in almost anything else not directly related to sport, something really has to be done. There are in fact many and varied causes among men. The most common (and wrongly) believed to be the only grey hair cause is through our gene make up. If you get grey hair don’t go blame great-uncle Percy (yet). Other factors, such as excessive dieting, B-12 deficiency, thyroid imbalances and yes even smoking are now known to cause grey hair.

This is all well and good but when you typed with nervous fingers ‘grey hair causes’ into google or yahoo you were asking what exactly is going on in that clump of fur you call the rug on your head.

When our bodies are working properly and everything is where it is supposed to be, we produce pigments to keep everything the right color. The principle pigment for hair is called melanin. Here’s another cool word you can through into conversation: melanocytes. These are the cells in our hair follicles that make the melanin. Now if for whatever reason the melanocytes stop producing melanin, the individual hair loses its color. Melanocytes producing melanin in every single hair on your head. The human body truly is an amazingly complex piece of work, which is probably why things don’t always work as planned. For each individual person their own specific case can be different, depending on race, sex, genes, diet, the list can go on and on. Just by typing those words into a search engine means you are ready to face up to the challenge your body has given you. Congratulations, and join the grey hair cause today!

Don’t despair because there is a product on the market that will help you prevent that grey hair from getting out of control. We recommend Melancor as it the only scientifically proved product to reverse the graying
