Despite your attempts to live forever young, the sad reality is that we’re starting to age.
*Gulp*
Yes, we can pass over the birthday fuss, hide our IDs and lie about our age, but unfortunately there comes the time when you start seeing the silver strands of a grey hair take root from the crown of your head and you know you’re ageing.
While it’s all part of the natural process of growing old(er), a study has proven that melanin-producing cells (which provides the pigment to our hair) disappear when exposed to stress hormones.
So how can you slow down your hair ageing process?
Well it’s time to start stocking up on vitamins B12, B9, as well as your iron – which are all known to affect your hair pigment.
Health experts recommend a diet rich in antioxidants to get the most luscious locks, including lots of foods like salmon, leafy green vegetables and nuts.
And your final tip? Stub out the silver and quit smoking. A 2013 study proved a direct link between smokers in their 20s and going grey.
Just one more reason to quit so…
