Gray hair is a visible sign of aging and is a natural part of growing older. It signifies a mixture of white hair, mixed with black hair, making the gray appearance of hair, also known as salt and pepper on the scalp. It is hair with little or no pigment and wherein light reflects off, after falling on the hair, making it appear gray. Many of us might have gray hair. From the first time a person notices a bunch of gray hair, it might take about ten years for all the hair on the head to go gray.
It is said that gray hair shows up as a feature that comes with wisdom acquired through ages. Gray hair is not an issue to worry over, however, if graying of hair occurs prematurely, it is recommended to consult your dermatologist.
