Old gold

My friend who has reached menopause found that she is growing coarser hairs and they are especially visible on the upper lips. She wanted to go for laser hair removal because she had seen the procedure done.

Meanwhile, her 16 years old grandson too wanted to follow along. He is probably the one and only hairy Asian on this planet. No exaggerations here. He would only consider getting his facial hair removed and maybe some unsightly stomach hair.

I understand it is because the body stops producing some kind of enzyme or protein, but WHY WE CAN NOT TAKE IT ARTIFICIALLY???? like vitamins or something??? Wouldn’t it be great instead of hair color just take a pill to cover gray hair??? PEOPLE, INVENT SOMETHING PLEASE!!!!! I just got my first couple of gray hairs and I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!!! Do not want to be a slave of hair color and NO, I DO NOT LIKE GRAY HAIR ON ME.

So, I went to find out exactly why people get grey hair and here is what MayoClinic explains :

Gray hair is typically a result of natural aging. Pigment in the hair shaft comes from special cells at the root (base) of the hair. These cells are genetically programmed to make a certain amount of pigment (melanin) at specific ages. At some point in the aging process, these cells make less and less pigment until the hair has very little pigment. White hair has no pigment, and gray hair has some but not as much as a red, black or brown hair.

I started having gray hair since in my mid fourties and now, at sixty I have tried several method to stop gray hair. But my hair is now 50% gray hair and wish to find ways to slow this gray hair from sprouting so much.

I have used many commercial brands like hair dye, hair cream for graying hair and etc. Now, my hair is thinning and I need a natural colorant that will give me more body and sheen. My hair is reverting from relaxer to natural.

I think many other elderly folks too hate the gray hair and want to find natural ways to solve gray hair problems. Anyone knows what is best for gray hair?
