WHAT CAUSES LOSS OF HAIR COLOR?
BASIC INFORMATION
Hair color changes over the course of a lifetime
Maybe yours has also
Judging from the sheer number of hair colors at the supermarket
Most people want their old color back
They want to erase the gray and take back their youth.
HAIR LOSS
Did you know that you may lose up to 100 hairs per day?
It is in a process of having a couple hundred thousand hairs at a time growing, then resting, then falling out
That this is able to occur without your noticing.
LOSS OF HAIR COLOR
There are two types of melanin in play to color your hair
Which occur in the hair follicle
They are eumelanin and pheomelanin
Darker hair results from eumalanin, about which you can read at http://www.myhaircaretools.com/hair-iron-tips-for-damaged-hair/, while less eumelanin creates lighter hair color
Pheomelanin gives hair orange and yellow shades of color, and is the more stable of the two melanin types.
LOSS OF HAIR COLOR
Did you know that loss of hair color has several factors at play
It is a lack of pigmentation of the melanin
The hair is clear, but appears gray because of the way light reflects
Aging causes gray hair by a process called achromotrichia
Simply, the hair follicles slow and stop producing pigment.
