Who wants to look young? Oops, that is a wrong question so let's rephrase it, who doesn't want to look young?? Well, the answer is most of us wants to look young. The ones who wants to look young do everything to look young, like using anti-ageing creams, vitamins and hair colouring. Hair colouring is one of the most important things which everyone focuses on because grey hair makes a person look old, and if the person is really young and has grey hair, it's a different disaster story altogether.

Why my hair is turning into grey?

Our every hair strand is surrounded by hair follicle which contains pigments and these pigments produce a chemical called melanin which gives colour to our hair. When we age these pigments’ production of melanin also reduces and eventually our hair turns grey. If hair turns grey at a very young age, it’s called premature ageing caused due to:

• Thyroid diseases
• B12 deficiency
• Vitiligo
• Smoking
• Natural deficiency

Is there is any remedies to turn grey hair into black permanently?

No, there is absolutely no solutions or cures to turn grey hair into black. The only remedy is to dye your hair. And plucking the grey hair is not at all a choice, for, constant plucking of hair will control the hair growth at a certain point of time, making that area bald.
