For my gray-haired lover

The scientists have considered studying your “issues” too. A European team of scientists have studied why our hair turns gray. Sadly to say, it has nothing to do with wisdom, I know a stab in the heart. It does have to do with hydrogen peroxide though.

“Going gray is caused by a massive build up of hydrogen peroxide due to wear and tear of our hair follicles.” Our hair has a natural pigment known as melanin, which is responsible for hair color, skin color, and eye color. The hydrogen peroxide blocks this synthesis within our hair follicles. Our bodies produce a limited amount of hydrogen peroxide, and as we gain our years of life, we eventually produce more and more hydrogen peroxide, hence a build up. Due to everyone’s genetics being different, some people will notice their gray hair earlier in life. However, it has been said that Asians experience gray hair at a much slower rate then Caucasians---I beg to differ from my experience, but I am no scientist, rather an observer.

On the bright side, gray hair is said to be a side-effect of long living, so if you have gray hair at a young age or at an older age, cheers to you for showing a sign of good health. Flaunt it.
