Što su sijede vlasi i kako ih izbjeći?

Although it is impossible to completely avoid them, we can prolong gray hair to the maximum extent possible.

Just like fine lines, gray hair is one of the first physical signs of aging – it's completely natural and expected, although few people look forward to it. But did you know that it's possible to delay graying if it's not genetic? Learn all about gray hair and how to avoid it below.

When do we go gray and what causes it?

We get our first gray hairs in our 30s, and it is estimated that most men will have 50% of their hair gray by the age of 50. A gray hair is a hair that has lost its pigmentation due to the cessation of melanin production – turning white or gray.

Lifestyle and gray hair

Dietary habits and hormones can affect hair color, as can the amount of stress we are under on a daily basis – but the greatest predisposition to premature or accelerated graying is genetic; if your parents went gray at a young age, there is a high chance that you will too.

Since hair is made up of the protein keratin, which is extremely important for healthy and strong hair, it is recommended to eat foods rich in protein for healthier hair. For example, eggs or fish. The body can often lack iron, calcium, zinc, vitamins D, B6 and B12, the deficiency of which can cause premature graying. If you do not get enough of them from food, it is recommended to take supplements in consultation with your doctor.

It is recommended to eat a balanced diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly, and wash your hair several times a week with a mandatory scalp massage; in addition to increasing blood flow to the scalp and thus leading to accelerated hair growth, massage also removes accumulated dirt on the scalp and allows nutrients from the product to be better and faster absorbed.
