“Smile, ten years young; worry, white head”, this is a proverb handed down by our ancestors. Once, when we looked at it in books, we felt that it used extremely exaggerated rhetoric. In Liang Yusheng’s “the white haired witch”, the heroine’s love of practicing nishang is difficult to break, and overnight, the blue silk turns white. However, with the increasing mental pressure of modern people, it seems that “overnight white head” is no longer the patent of TV drama.
According to some hairdressers, about 30% of those who dye their hair in recent years have early white hair, mostly in the age group of 30 to 40, and most of them are busy professionals; The media also reported that three out of ten people who went to beauty shops to dye their hair had early-onset gray hair. Experts analyzed that the reason was related to the social pressure people were under: “fund managers can’t bear the four pressures, and they turn gray in their 30s”; “The pressure of unpaid leave is great, and the 24-year-old female white-collar has white hair” and other reports have repeatedly appeared in the newspapers and the Internet.
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? Next, let the experts decrypt it for you.
1、 “Hair processing factory” reveals why our hair has color? Why does it turn white again? 1. The secret of hair color on our scalp, there are many hair follicles. At the bottom of hair follicles is a hair “processing factory”, where many cells cooperate 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 white hair is that 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.
2、 “Black hair killers” act evil “white hair is 3000 Zhang, and fate is like a long”. In today’s era, spiritual factors are important killers of black hair. 1. This phenomenon of early age even occurs in children. There are some children whose families do not have a precedent of being young and white headed, but who grow up early in their youth. Why is this? It is understood that most of the reasons come from pressure. Parents are always worried that their son will lose at the starting line, so children will inevitably be under the pressure of learning all day long. When learning becomes a kind of high pressure, it is not difficult to explain why teenagers are white headed.
2. The time is very short. “Wu Zixu’s head turned white one night after crossing the Zhaoguan pass”, “the beautiful hair of the peerless beauty Marie Antoinette turned white the night before she was guillotined”, “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 “. These common examples in literature have gradually appeared in real life with the normalization of sub-health.
American media once 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.
All these phenomena show that Zaosheng HUAFA is behind the pressure. And the conclusion we draw from these examples is that we should not let our hair turn white because of pressure, but should know how to reduce pressure and reduce pressure for our health.
