The Science of Grey Hair: Why Hair Turns Grey and the Technology Behind Grey Blending
We often encounter women who are curious about the natural progression of their hair turning grey.
It’s a journey almost everyone will embark on, but few understand the science behind.
Why does hair turn grey? And how does our advanced grey blending technology help you embrace this natural transition with style?
Discover the fascinating science of grey hair and the innovative solutions we offer.
The Science Behind Grey Hair
Hair colour is determined by melanin, a pigment produced by cells called melanocytes.
As we age, these melanocytes gradually lose their ability to produce melanin, leading to hair that turns grey and eventually white.
This process is influenced by genetics, which means for some it starts as early as their twenties, while others might not see significant greying until their fifties.
Factors Influencing Grey Hair
Besides genetics, several other factors can influence when and how much our hair turns grey:
Stress: There’s some evidence suggesting that stress can lead to premature greying by affecting the melanocytes.
Lifestyle: Smoking and poor diet can accelerate the greying process.
Health Conditions: Certain autoimmune diseases can also affect pigmentation in your hair.

You might feel it’s too soon, or perhaps you’re unsure about whether to cover it up or let nature take its course.
