White Hair

Hair whitening is a natural phenomenon resulting from a combination of factors, among which are the gradual cessation of melanin production by melanocytes, the reduction in stem cell reserves, and oxidative stress.

The onset of white hair varies from one individual to another. On average, hair begins to turn white around the age of 35.

Yes, white hair can be drier and more fragile, requiring hydrating and nourishing care to maintain their health and shine. Furthermore, being less protected due to the lack of melanin, hair fibres need more protection from the sun, for instance, with sun protection sprays.

The whitening of hair is predominantly dependent on internal factors. However, protecting one's hair from oxidation and adopting a varied and balanced diet may potentially help to prevent greying.
