A gray strand of hair is something most people find unattractive, especially if it happens at a younger age. However, some people are aware of the enchanting beauty of gray hair, and understand that it is not a negative sign of the aging process.

Actually, hair turns gray when the specialized cells (melanocytes) stop producing melanin. In some cases, the accumulation of naturally-occurring hydrogen peroxide on the hair follicles can bleach the hair color as well. Genetics is the main factor that determines the age at which melanin stops getting produced.

Women have been dying their hair at the very first appearance of gray for generations, believing that it does not look good or it makes them look older. Yet, you can dye it, cut it, and wear your hair as you like it, as long as it makes you happy.

Your hairdresser can give you valuable advice about your hair, and if you ask, she will tell you that there is a growing trend with women to go natural. Actually, a bad haircut, unhealthy hair, and a badly dyed hair, will make you look older.

If you have a healthy and vibrant white hair, it will be as beautiful and eye-catching as the one of a stunning redhead or brilliant blonde. Nowadays, young girls pay a lot of money to have their hair dyed gray, and you have it for free.
