Grey or white hair is a completely natural part of the ageing process. How early it becomes visible depends primarily on genetic predisposition: while some people discover their first grey strands in their early 20s, others retain their natural hair colour well into their 50s.
In this blog, you will find all the important information about grey hair and our Anti-Grey Elixir.

Anti-Grey Elixir revitalises the hair, restoring its healthy strength and youthful radiance. The cell-active power scalp lotion works in three ways:
Our genes are largely responsible for the hair turning grey. As we age, this results in a metabolic imbalance in the hair follicle and the pigment-forming cells (melanocytes), which causes the hair to gradually lose its colour pigment, melanin.
However, illnesses such as hormonal imbalances, surgery, chemotherapy, or severe psychological stress can also cause gray hair. An unhealthy lifestyle, such as smoking, vitamin and mineral deficiencies due to poor nutrition, as well as environmental pollution and stress, can also be a cause.

Research has discovered: people whose hair turns grey are suffering from oxidative stress in the hair follicle and the pigment-forming cells (melanocytes). This oxidative stress in the hair roots is acutely triggered by an accumulation of hydrogen peroxide.
In people whose hair turns grey their hydrogen peroxide concentration is higher than normal. Mostly there is a lack of those enzymes (catalases) that are responsible for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Too much hydrogen peroxide impedes the functioning of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is vital for colour pigment formation.
The consequence: Step by step, the hair increasingly fades and turns grey or white. Find out more here on how and whether you can prevent the formation of grey hair.
