Premature white hair is a state of sub-health and an external sign of premature aging of human body. Why can mental factors cause people to suffer from early aging white hair disease? How to prevent and treat premature white hair disease?
first, “hair processing factory” revealed
Why do our hair have color? Why does it turn white again?
1. The secret of hair color
There are many hair follicles on our scalp, and at the bottom of the hair follicle is a hair “processing factory”, where many cells work together to produce colored hair.
The backbone of hair is keratin. The reason why hair keeps getting longer is that “keratinocytes (stem cells)” in hair follicles constantly add new keratin to the root of hair.
While “keratinocytes” construct hair, the “melanocytes” in hair follicles produce melanin and transmit melanin to “keratinocytes” in the form of melanosomes, thus “dyeing” the colorless keratin.
Melanin is divided into two types: one is true melanin, which is dark brown or black, and the other is false melanin, which is yellow or red. When the two melanins are combined in different proportions, they will form a variety of hair colors, such as black, chestnut brown and so on.
2. The secret of grey hair
The formation of white hair is caused by the decrease of melanin in white hair. If there is no melanin, the place in the hair that was first filled with pigment particles will be gradually replaced by air, and the air bubbles will generate light reflection, making the hair look white.
When the human body gradually ages, the function of the hair papilla at the root of the hair, like other organs in the body, gradually weakens, the tyrosine in the “melanocytes” of the hair papilla gradually loses its vitality, and the production of melanin becomes less and less, or even none at all, which makes the human hair turn from black to gray (with black and white), and from gray to all white.
There are no glands in the human body that uniformly secrete melanin. This chemical substance is produced separately in each hair, so the hair always turns white one by one; Because there are no less than 100000 hair follicles on the scalp, it takes decades for a person’s hair to change from black to white.
If a person’s hair turns white quickly before he is old, it is abnormal and pathological.
Second, “black hair killer” is a kind of murderer and evil doer. “White hair is 3000 feet long, and sorrow is like a long one.” in today’s era, spiritual factors are an important killer of black hair
1. Age in advance
(1) I like the famous star’s hair dyeing cream
Wang Leehom, a young Taiwanese singer with an idol appearance, had his hair dyed when he first made his debut more than a decade ago. He said, “that’s not heredity. My brother has not got a gray hair so far!”
(2) The ten-year-old boy has a white head
This phenomenon can even happen to children.
A teenage child is now white haired. Over the past two years, his parents have taken him everywhere to seek medical treatment. The inspection conclusion is the same: the child’s head is white because of excessive mental pressure.
It is understood that the mother of the child is always worried that her son will lose at the starting line, and persistently adopts a “high-pressure policy”. Over the past five years, she has asked him to read 30 interest classes, and even when he goes to the toilet and eats breakfast, she also asks him to recite a few more words.
2. Time is short
(1) The president’s hair is going white fast
US media reported that Clinton still had half of his brown hair when he took office, but it was all white two years later; When Bush took office, he had “salt and pepper” on his head. In a blink of an eye, there was only “salt” left; Obama complained that his hair was going white too fast.
(2) The corrupt official turned white overnight
“Wu Zixu’s head turned white with sorrow the night before she passed the Zhaoguan pass”, “Mary Antoinette’s hair turned white the night before she went to the guillotine”, “when the mayor of utland in les miserables, after fierce and painful ideological struggle, decided to admit himself as a prisoner in court,” his gray hair turned white in just one hour “.
This shows that the time for “worrying about the white head” may indeed be very short.
Third, the “soil” of hair has dried up
Why do mental factors such as stress become cold killers with black hair? Sudden mental stimulation or long-term mental pressure will cause Qi disorder in the body. Chinese medicine believes that “hair is more than blood”, and the growth and moistening of hair depend on the nurturing of blood. If the Qi mechanism in the body is disordered and can not provide enough blood to the hair, it will naturally age and turn white.
1. Thinking hurts the essence
There is a meridian on our back called the Du meridian, which forms a pathway between the kidney (TCM), spinal cord, brain marrow and hair, so there is a saying in TCM that “the kidney is the root of hair”.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that the kidney stores essence, and the vital energy transformed from the essence in the kidney goes up to the hair through this channel to stimulate and promote the growth of hair, that is to say, “the vitality of hair is rooted in the kidney”.
When a person is young, his kidney qi is vigorous, and his hair is dark and thick. But after 40 years old, his kidney essence gradually decays, and he can’t nourish his hair. It is a normal physiological phenomenon that his hair loses its glory and turns white.
If you think too much and consume blood essence, or if you are too stressed, anxious and nervous and hurt your kidney essence, the essence that stimulates hair growth is insufficient, and your hair will naturally age and turn white.
