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.
