With white hair, it means that aging has come and it's time to retire.
But now, there are more and more people with white hair at a young age. No, a 25-year-old girl has only been employed for a year and a half, and found that her white hair is getting more and more.
Why do you grow white hair? What should I do? This article will tell you in detail.
Before we know white hair, we need to know the structure of hair. The color of hair is dyed by melanin particles secreted by hair mother cells in hair follicles.
For people with dark hair, hair mother cells have sufficient blood supply and active secretion of melanin particles, and the hair will always be in a dark state.
However, if for various reasons, the supply of nutrients is not enough and there is not enough melanin to be delivered to the hair, the hair will gradually turn white. There are usually several reasons that lead to insufficient nutrition supply of hair mother cells:
1, genetic factors: white hair has obvious family inheritance. In these people's scalp, hair mother cells in a certain part are often difficult to get food, so they are obviously hereditary. Some even have a bunch of white hair at birth.
2. Mental factors: We can often see people die overnight on TV. This is not fiction, but reality. Under great psychological pressure, abnormal hormones in the body will make melanin particles disappear in a short time.
3, disease factors: the body has some functions that can disturb the endocrine law, such as pituitary dysfunction, hyperthyroidism, can affect the nutritional supply of hair mother cells. In addition, a large number of consumptive diseases, such as cancer, chronic inflammation, anemia, tuberculosis and so on. It can also lead to white hair.
4, lack of exercise: do not like exercise, the blood circulation in the body is too slow, and less nutrients are delivered to the hair, which will also affect the secretion of melanin particles by hair cells.
5. Nutritional factors: The production of melanin in the body needs the participation of various nutrients, including copper, cobalt and iron, as well as protein, vegetable oil and B vitamins. These are easy to lead to white hair.
6, blood deficiency: Chinese medicine has the saying of enriching blood. If long-term illness, improper diet and excessive consumption lead to insufficient qi and blood, hair will naturally appear abnormal, including white hair, alopecia and dry hair.
Except for congenital inheritance or age, hair mother cells lose the function of secreting melanin, and other reasons lead to white hair, which is reversible.
Specifically, we should do the following:
1, Strengthen nutrition: Be sure to fill your body with nutrition, especially the high-quality protein rich in tyrosine. Melanin is a derivative of tyrosine. Only with sufficient nutrition can we make good products.
2. Supplementing trace elements and vitamins: In addition to tyrosine, the synthesis of melanin also needs the participation of trace elements such as copper, cobalt and iron and nutrients such as B vitamins. Supplementing these nutrients can reduce white hair.
3. Reduce stress and stay optimistic: As mentioned above, too many stress hormones in the body will lead to white hair in a short time. If you are always stressed, it may slowly lead to white hair climbing on your head. We should learn to give ourselves a happy mood.
4. Exercise more and tonify qi and blood: Exercise is the most critical measure to speed up metabolism and make qi and blood smooth. In addition, exercise can release dopamine and keep you optimistic.
