In each of your hair follicles, which is the area at the base of a hair underneath the skin, are cells called melanocytes. These cells produce a pigment known as melanin. Melanin gives both hair and skin it’s unique color. When melanocytes begin to die off, your hair begins to turn grey because they stop producing melanin. Your hair will then go back to its natural color, clear. Hair and fingernails are made out of the same material. Your hair never actually turns grey. This is an illusion caused by your clear hairs being set against other hairs that still maintain their color. There are several grey hair solutions that will help the body naturally reverse the growth of grey hair.

Vitamin B12 and Omega 3 fatty acid (usually called fish oils) will greatly help you in this respect. These can be taken in a few different ways. Most people like to take them in supplement form, but there are also shampoos with them in it that are formulated specifically to reverse grey hair. There are all kinds of different treatment products available on the market today, it is very important you find the best one for you.

Lately, herbal remedies to treat grey hair have been coming back into popularity. Many people like the allure of herbal products. It is easy to see why. Herbal products can help the body naturally reverse grey hair and most offer little to no side effects. Many of these products are not effective, but some of the more popular ones have been shown to make a very noticeable difference. It is also important to keep in mind that some people will respond to certain treatments better than others.

Reversing the production of grey hair requires that you help the living melanin producing cells (melanocytes) to return to producing at full capacity. As these cells get older the amount of melanin they produce trails off until they eventually die.

If you have no luck with any of these treatments than the best option is to use hair dye. This is the only treatment that will work 100% of the time.
