By coloring the hair, the hair starts to turn gray faster, do you know what the meaning of this is?

However, despite the excitement of choosing a new shade, there is often concern about coloring hair. Premature graying. A common belief especially in Indian homes. He points out that changing your natural hair color with dyes or chemicals will inevitably cause your hair to turn gray. This belief has lasted for years. This is why many people avoid coloring their hair.

Does coloring really turn your hair gray, or is it just a myth stopping you from achieving your dream hair? The irony is that the answer is neither black nor white: it lies somewhere in gray hair itself.

Whether it’s coloring or not, the problem of premature graying of hair is increasing at an alarming rate among the younger generation (Millennials and Gen Z). Experts attribute this to genetics, nutritional deficiencies, stress, unhealthy lifestyle like drinking and smoking, multiple health conditions, and environmental factors like pollution, UV rays, and oxidative stress.

Hair aging is mainly influenced by three factors. Genetic predisposition, sun exposure and stress. The aging process occurs when melanocytes, the cells that produce color in hair follicles, reduce their activity or die. This is a natural biological process that is not triggered by hair coloring.

Hair coloring is not directly linked to hair aging and there are currently no meta-analyses or sufficient scientific evidence to support such a relationship. Hair coloring only affects the outer layer of your hair. But not the hair follicles, which determine the color. However, continued use of harsh chemical dyes damages your hair making it lifeless and brittle. But they won’t turn your hair gray overnight.
