Discoloration of hair, which brings both men and women head is irreversible and depends on the majority of cases of hereditary processes. However, there are cases, the least-in that gray hair is a symptom or consequence of diseases or processes or emotional stress.
A symptom of aging
The appearance of gray hair in general is just a symptom that heralds the mandatory aging facing humans. His presence on the scalp reaching the same range as that may have wrinkles.
Not surprisingly, in most cases, the graying, that well known academic to the progressive loss of hair-color is the result of a series of physiological events involving genes, proteins and enzymes. In short, over time, the biological mechanism responsible for hair pigment breaks down and with it disappears the natural hair dye.
Hair color is a hallmark of every man and every woman. Its intensity and pigmentation vary with the age of the individual. In fact, generally, the hair undergoes a process that darkens between childhood and adolescence. After the hue of hair reaches a stationary phase prior to the onset of the first gray hairs, with the advent of maturity. This natural discoloration graying acquires the label of physiological or senescence. It follows a progressive decrease in production in the body of a substance called melanin. It is part of a phenomenon that goes through several stages before the melanocytes, the cells are in hair, stop working altogether. This process is irreversible and causes gradual loss and non-uniform color of the hair.
The quality of the hair decreases as time passes. Therefore, the grays are not as strong as the previous hair. The lack of brightness, changes in the thickness and lack of flexibility are hallmarks of this change. This can lead to hair loss, which contradicts the belief that says that gray hair is not falling.
Through this process irreversible, except with the dyes, the hair turns white and translucent. This fact is curious, since unpigmented hair should be transparent, such as nails, as keratin, organic substance that forms hair and nails, it is.
Breed Differences
In any case, usually arrive before the first gray hairs in white individuals and in those with oriental features. Experience in this sense says that in both cases, the first signs of graying usually occur between the ages of 30 and 40 years. Thus, a man or woman of these two races had half his hair graying at 50acFor their part, black people begin to suffer the bleaching process later. In particular, after 45 years. In this regard, the American Academy of Dermatology says that more than half the world population aged 45 and over have gray hair, but only one in three women will remain in that state.
In all cases, the appearance of white hair begins to manifest in temporal regions, at the height of the temples, later by the crown and eventually covers the entire head. Furthermore, in a more advanced level, can be extended to the chin, chest, underarms, arms and genitals.
Premature graying: genes, stress, illness, or smoking
Notwithstanding the above, the fact is that there is also a small number of cases in which there is graying prematurely, in Caucasians who have not yet turned 20 and other blacks who do not reach 30 . These gray early result, in most cases, a hereditary origin. However, sometimes the early process of discoloration of hair can be an indication of the presence of diseases such as pernicious anemia or hypothyroidism – related to a lack of vitamin B-12 in the body, or a direct sequel condition known in medical annals as ‘Graves’.
In this sense also the poliosis, is a type of premature graying, but localized. It is characterized by affect, for example, a particular strand, which is sooty black in the middle of the gray type cabellera.Este respond to a hereditary process.
The experts also certify the existence of cases where the graying has appeared motivated by continuous stress. Upset, the loss of a beloved family member, being subjected to intense pressure at work or staff can also trigger the onset of gray hair.
Another factor that influences the appearance of prematurely gray hair is the use of snuff. Recent studies show that there are four times more premature graying among smokers.

Despite the inevitability of gradual graying process, a number of cosmetic solutions calls to reduce the impact of gray hair the color of the hair. It is recommended to use specific shampoos for gray hair, acting returning to white purity. There is also the possibility of using dye to disguise the gray. This option, in the eyes of the American Academy of Dermatology, it is not recommended at the beginning of bleaching process. In this regard, since this institution indicate that when the gray hairs are in a low percentage, estimated at less than 30% of the hair, should conceal with semi-permanent dyes. These processes are smoother and cover the white hair giving an appearance of highlights or reflections that will not alter the natural color of hair and respect for longer hair health. The products do not contain peroxide or ammonia, so it usually does not hurt at all the hair. Often lose their effect after applying between 12 and 24 washes.
But when the gray hairs and take at least 50% of the hair surface, there is no other solution than permanent dyes that, in most cases, contain chemicals that when used incorrectly, excessive or uncontrolled, can capillary health damage and even cause allergic skin reactions. Although the dyes are subjected to constant allergy testing and safety and contain a minimum concentration of ammonium, always check that we do not cause any allergy or reaction. To find out if we can use these products should do a simple test before using for the first time, deposited a small amount of it on the inside of your wrist or behind the ear.
