My hair is going grey, is it becoming unhealthy?

The natural colour of your hair, grey or otherwise, is not an indicator of how healthy your hair is.

The colour of your hair is determined by the pigments present within the cortex of each hair strand. Colour pigments are created within hair fibres during hair synthesis whilst the fibres are within the follicle (within the anagen phase of the hair cycle).

Changes in the follicle that can affect your hair’s colour can be brought about by changes in your hormones, stress, illness, or diet. 

One of the best ways to reduce the risk of adverse changes in your hair is to maintain a balanced diet with a good mix of fruit and veggies. If this is not possible, we suggest that you consider taking good vitamin supplements suitable to your age and gender from a reputable supplier.
