What causes gray hair?
Factors such as heredity, vitamin B12 deficiency, smoking, thyroid problems, stress and age play a role in (faster) graying. The latter is due to the amount of pigment in your hair. As you get older, the number of pigment cells decreases. This causes your hair to lose color and your hair color to change to the gray shade. So you cannot change anything about this.

Choose the right care products
It may sound logical, but we’ll just mention it: the right care products are important for a healthy haircut. Choose gentle shampoos, conditioners and masks that give your hair more strength. Silver shampoo is also perfect for keeping your gray hair fresh and vibrant. The shampoo has a purple or blue color and neutralizes yellow or orange tones, giving your hair a cooler gray shade again. Always rinse this shampoo well; otherwise you may leave a blue or purple glow in your locks.
Treat yourself to a head massage
A nice head massage ensures good blood circulation, which ultimately results in the growth of stronger hair. So treat yourself to a nice head massage or massage your head yourself while washing. There are various massage brushes specifically for your hair that you can use for this.
Temperature
When washing your hair, pay attention to the temperature of the water. Water that is too hot will dry out and damage your hair. We completely understand if you don’t want to take a cold shower, but fortunately lukewarm water is also a good option.
Water that is too hot damages your hair, but the use of heat also damages your locks. So use your curling or straightening iron, hairdryer brush or hairdryer as little as possible. It is best to leave your hair to air dry and it is better to create a bunch of curls, such as the heatless curl method.
Shiny locks
If your hair looks a bit dull, you can use a shine spray. Applying a good hair oil to the ends and using a nourishing hair mask during the wash are also a must to make your locks shine again.
