White hair: what are the natural treatments?

 

 

Hair is an integral part of our personality. They influence how everyone sees themselves and how everyone is perceived by others. Healthy hair is often synonymous with health, youth and vitality. On the contrary, the appearance of white hair, which is a completely natural phenomenon linked to age, is often perceived as a sign of old age and can affect self-esteem. To continue to feel energetic, many will look for solutions to this. In this article, we are going to present you some natural solutions to fight against white hair.

 

 

Why do we have white hair?

 

Hair whitening results in the gradual loss of the hair's natural pigmentation over time. This whitening is due to the reduction in the number of active melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin located at the base of the hair follicle. White hair no longer contains melanocytes at all, or these have become inactive.

 

 

Hair whitening appears naturally with age. It is a phenomenon that generally occurs around the age of 40, regardless of gender. But depending on the person, it can be more or less premature. Indeed, from the age of 40, the number of melanocytes decreases by 10 to 20% every 10 years, leading to a drop in melanin production and the appearance of hair that grows white. Stress, illness or even heredity can also explain the precocity of white hair in some people.

 

 

 

How to take care of white hair?

 

1. With an in-depth treatment: the Dermo-Grey Serum

 

One solution to fight against white hair in a natural way is to treat the problem in depth. Since hair whitening is linked to the deactivation of the melanocytes responsible for pigmentation, it is possible to reactivate them to revive pigmentation. The Dermo-Grey serum by Rodolphe&Co is a 100% natural and certified organic serum with peony extracts, allowing to renew naturally colored hair.

 

Its Arcolys® patent, extracted from the roots of the medicinal plant Picrorhiza Scrophulariiflora, presents a natural and effective active ingredient to prevent and reverse hair whitening. By acting directly at the cellular level, Arcolys® and the Dermo-Grey serum reduce the proportion of gray hair by reactivating the natural hair pigmentation process and stimulating the production of melanin. Thus, it is possible to reduce the proportion of white hair by nearly 9% after 2.5 months of use, and up to -15% after 5 months.

 

 

 

For effective results, we recommend using the serum twice a day in 3 months cures, with a break of 3 months between each cure. Discover the product details and its ingredients here, as well as the video tutorial to apply it correctly here.

 

 

 

 

2. Other solutions: camouflage and coloring

 

In addition to the treatment, there are various solutions with natural ingredients to deal with white hair.

 

Mineral or plant-based coloring is a permanent and natural solution to cover white hair, until it grows back. Mineral and plant-based colorings are natural coloring solutions, respectively using mineral pigments and plant pigments, as well as care plants, butters and vegetable oils, without ammonia or ethanolamine, to color your hair while respecting your hair health.

It is also possible to touch up your roots temporarily with a hair mascara, 100% natural, without silicones or parabens. This is a quick solution for discreet camouflage, which fades with shampoo, a real trick without going to the hairdresser's.

 

Finally, some people simply accept their natural beauty with white hair. It may happen that the hair change a little color and become yellow with the sun. In this case, you simply need to correct its shade with a special natural and organic certified blonde hair care, with a purple hue which will neutralize bad highlights and help maintain sublime gray or white hair! Taking care of your hair on a daily basis is the key to having dream hair.
