Gray hair remedy for men

Medicines

There are many drugs known today that help against gray hair. They differ in composition and mechanism of action.

Magnesium sulfate

Hypertension is considered one of the provoking factors for the appearance of gray hair. It is caused by spasms and atherosclerosis of the vessels, which are responsible for nourishing the hair follicles.

As a result, the death of melanocytes - the cells responsible for the production of pigments - is observed. The use of magnesium sulfate allows you to expand blood vessels, improve hair trophism and avoid the appearance of gray hair.

Reparex

This is a cosmetic remedy for gray hair for men, which helps to cope with it and avoid the need for staining. The mechanism of action of the substance is aimed at normalizing biological processes and improving the shade of the strands.

Reparex contains natural ingredients and is not harmful to health. The composition contains the following substances:

• G-reductase. Under the action of this enzyme, the hair is colored in the desired shade.
• Lapis. This component is monovalent silver nitrate. It neutralizes abnormal oxidation processes.
• Rosemary acid. The product has antioxidant properties. This avoids re-discoloration.
• Pantothenic acid. The tool stops hair loss and activates the synthesis of melanin.
• Ricinoleic acid. The composition strengthens hair and prevents hair loss.
• Sea salt. This substance is a natural mineral.

To get rid of gray hair, it is recommended to apply the lotion evenly on damp strands. After which it is recommended to rub it thoroughly into the scalp. After 5 minutes, dry your hair with a hairdryer. The composition should be applied for 2-3 weeks.

Antisedin

This comprehensive anti-gray remedy for men has an effect on melanin synthesis. Also, the tool allows you to cope with dandruff, helps to strengthen hair in men and makes them less brittle.

The medicine does not help to immediately cope with gray hair. It will be possible to notice the results no earlier than after 20 days.

Stopsedin

This remedy for gray hair for men helps to activate the production of melanin and allows you to normalize metabolic processes. This avoids the appearance of gray hair. The effectiveness of the spray is due to the components that it includes:

• Vitamin B7. This substance promotes the activation of enzyme compounds that are responsible for the metabolism of fatty acids and leucine. Without this component, the hair quickly loses its color, becoming gray.
• Amla oil. It contains many valuable components. The substances have an antioxidant effect and improve blood circulation in the scalp. This helps to improve the trophism of hair follicles. This increases the production of coloring pigment. As a result, the hair gradually takes on a natural shade.
• Vitamin B8. The main function of the component is to protect cell membranes from stress hormones - adrenaline and norepinephrine. It is these substances that often lead to loss of hair color and the appearance of gray hair.
• L-tyrosine. It is an amino acid that has a unique structure. It partially regulates the production of stress hormones and is involved in the formation of melanin. This helps to avoid gray hair.

Before using Stopsedin, the bottle must be shaken thoroughly and applied to the strands. Then rub into the skin, making massage movements. Finally, comb the hair thoroughly.

Cosmetics

The above cosmetic products are not the only ones with which you can remove annoying gray hair. If you want to get rid of it forever or experiment with your appearance, you can use these tools.

Alpha Homme Foam

Alpha Homme Foam is an innovative product from Estel that allows you to completely change your image in 10 minutes. The line contains all shades in a natural color palette. The product is made in the form of a foam. It is quickly applied to the hair. It is recommended to use the product for toning a mustache and beard. The foam does not leave marks on the body. According to the manufacturer, the color of non-gray hair will not change.

Gel Men Perfect

Men Perfect gel is a novelty from Schwarzkopf, in a palette of 6 natural shades (it is possible to choose the one that suits you). The package contains a gel developing an emulsion. The funds must be mixed, shaken thoroughly, after which the applicator, which is attached to the gel, should be put on the bottle. With this applicator, you can easily apply the product to dry hair.

If the product gets on your skin, it is best to wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth. The natural color, according to the manufacturer, should last up to 20 shampoos.

Vitamins for graying

It will help restore the quality of hair and stimulate the production of melanin, a vitamin-mineral complex, which includes niacin and folic acid, vitamins A and E, group B - especially B 10 - para-aminobenzoic acid. This substance aids in protein absorption and reduces pigmentation loss.

As a preventive measure, it is worth drinking a glass of juice daily: pear, strawberry, apricot. It is recommended to rub juices of wild berries, cherries and white cabbage into the hair growth zone.

Fig drink stimulates the production of melanin:

1. 5 fig berries are boiled in a glass of water;
2. add a tablespoon of aloe or Kalanchoe juice;
3. let stand for 30 minutes.

The berries are eaten before the juices of medicinal plants are added - they perfectly fortify the body, rub the broth into the scalp and distribute it over the hair. Insulate, hold for an hour.

Do not pull out gray hairs. There is a theory - though not scientifically proven - that discoloration of pigmentation after this procedure will increase. The spread of gray hair will go over the head, like circles on water. A substance is released that is absorbed into the surrounding roots and infects the adjacent hair.

If a man in the fight against gray hair failed, then there is only one way to mask the loss of pigmentation - staining.

Important! The cream-gel is applied to wet hair, but does not last as long as the paint.

Main manufacturers:

• Kapous Gentlemen Gel;
• Kerzo TINTE PARA;
• L'Oreal Professionnel Homme.

Mousse

It is more of a toning agent than coloring. Easy to use. It is applied to the curls, evenly distributed, the time written in the instructions is kept and washed off.

This tool can be called "ambulance". Acts quickly, but also rinses off quickly.

Tint shampoo

The least effective remedy, but also the easiest to use. The shampoo tone is selected, corresponding to the natural shade, and applied to the hair. A 100% result is not always guaranteed.

Gray hair corrector

New express agent for coloring gray hair in 5 minutes.

The gray hair corrector is mixed in a bottle, foamed and applied like shampoo to the hair in a salon wash. Withstands 5 minutes and rinses off. The action is soft, without harm to the hair.

Please note that the product is gradually washed off, which does not create problems with regrown hair.

The tones are selected in accordance with the natural hair color. As a result, hair without gray hair is quick, natural and harmless.

Staining technique

The technique for dyeing gray hair is the same as for regular curls. For permanent paint, the sequence is as follows:

All actions are performed with gloves.

1. We mix the dye and the developer in a non-metallic container. (In order for the 2 components to mix easily, the developer should be injected in small portions, mixing the composition thoroughly)
2. We cover the shoulders with a protective cape.
3. We conditionally divide the hair into 2 parts - front and back. On the front, the product is applied perpendicular to the frontal hairline, on the back - in parallel.
4. If the curls are quite long, separate small strands and apply paint to each strand. If they are short, the paint is immediately distributed over the entire surface.
5. We cover our heads with a plastic cap, and then with a towel and we maintain the time written in the instructions.
6. We wash off the composition with warm water and our own shampoo.

The procedure is not complicated, but it requires thoroughness and accuracy.

An important point! Working with mousses and shampoos does not require special preparation of the composition. These products are sold ready-to-use.

Pros and cons of staining

The positive aspects of staining include:

• the appearance of self-confidence;
• more youthful appearance;
• the ability to forget about stress.

The negative sides include the need to constantly dye your hair, if you used persistent paint, then it is difficult to deal with a bad result. These are perhaps 2 reasons why many men do not dare to have the procedure. But the latest developments allow you to forget about regular correction if you use an express tool that washes off over time.

A longer active period of life has become a reality. Male dyeing of gray hair is becoming more and more popular, as the dyeing technique is simplified, new generation products appear, of higher quality and more affordable.

What cosmetology offers against gray hair

There are not so many methods for treating gray hair: in addition to drug treatment in the salon (clinic), they can offer head massage, darsonvalization or mesotherapy - the doctor announces the treatment plan after the initial diagnosis and identification of concomitant hair problems.

What massage to do to maintain healthy hair

A head massage does not cure gray hair, but it helps prevent the appearance of new gray hair - all because this simple procedure, like no other, helps to restore blood circulation in the hair growth area and induce blood flow to hair follicles and melanocyte cells.

• The massage is carried out as a course. It is worth making an appointment with a specialist for the first procedure, then you can continue on your own if you study the technique. The simplest massage is done in this way:
• Comb. Before starting the massage, comb your hair, then begin to massage the scalp with a brush - from the temples go up to the forehead, then to the back of the head, then repeat all over again, and so on 5-10 times. Do not press hard on your skin to avoid accidentally injuring yourself. It is better to take a massage brush from bristles, bamboo or ebonite.
• With your hands. The massage is performed with both hands at once. Starting position - hands at head level, palms open, fingers extended. Wrap a strand of hair around the index fingers of each hand, fix the position for 3-4 seconds, then “release” the hair and wind new strands around your fingers. Walk this way over the entire area of ​​hair growth. Do not use force when curling the strands, weak hair can be harmful. It shouldn't hurt, you should only feel a slight pull at the roots.
• There is another manual massage technique: you can take 2-3 drops of essential oil (lavender, rosemary, ylang-ylang are suitable), rub between your fingers, then rub into the scalp, lightly pinching the skin between your thumb and forefinger. Move from the temples to the back of the head. Before applying the oil to the skin, conduct an allergy test - lubricate the skin on the wrist with the same oil and evaluate if there is a reaction after 15 minutes. There should be no redness, itching, stains - if something bothers you, be careful not to massage with this oil, you may be allergic to it.
• As an independent procedure, any massage is useful for treating alopecia (hair loss), general improvement of hair and scalp, restoration of hair strength and tone. For the treatment and prevention of gray hair, one massage will not be enough, although it should not be abandoned - it is better to do it as an auxiliary procedure along with taking medications and a course of mesotherapy, for example.
• Home massage sessions are best done in the evening. Wash your hands, cut off too long nails - they will get in the way, sit or lie down - as you prefer, the main thing is that the posture is relaxed, and start the massage. The procedure is recommended to be carried out every day. The result can be seen after 2-3 months.

Darsonval - effective prevention of gray hair

Darsonval is an electrical device used for physiotherapy of skin and hair.It consists of a current generator and replaceable glass tubes-electrodes, through which, in fact, current pulses are supplied to the body. The discharges are weak, so when the electrode contacts the skin, there is a slight warmth and possibly a tingling sensation.

But the outwardly weak effect is deceiving: darsonval heats the skin quite deeply - to the hair roots, and this increases the blood flow to the bulbs, the hair begins to grow faster, becomes healthier and thicker.

The effect of darsonval is also useful for the scalp - the more gray hair, the drier it is. Darsonvalization will relieve dryness and irritation, the skin will stop flaking and itching. Gray hair will not recover even after a course of treatment, but gray hair is unlikely to spread - the rejuvenating effect of darsonval has long been confirmed by the responses of women.

The procedure is performed on clean, dry hair - you do not need to apply any care products, otherwise you can get a scalp burn.

Long hair is combed in the direction of its growth, from the forehead to the back of the head, short hair - against hair growth. One session lasts 5-7 minutes. The duration of the course is 10-15 procedures, then you can take a break for 10-14 days and continue the treatment.

You can get treatment in a clinic using stationary equipment or buy a portable device for your home. The cost is determined by the manufacturer and the number of attachments included.

According to experience, any woman most actively uses three attachments: comb, T-shaped and mushroom-shaped, so it makes sense to purchase the device in this configuration - this way, when buying, it will be possible to save money, and the device will not be idle.

From which manufacturers is it recommended to buy darsonval:

• US Medica (USA). Power: 20W. Includes 4 attachments, including a hairbrush. The device works from the mains, there is no charger for it. Price: from 6500 rubles;
• Gezatone Biolift4 103. Power: 60W. Includes 5 attachments. Price: from 3900 rubles. The same manufacturer has a lower power model - Gezatone Biolift4 118, which costs about 2800 rubles.
• Ultratech SD 199 (Russia). Power: 12 W. Includes 5 attachments. Price: from 3490 rubles, there is a portable device for 2000 rubles;
• Carat DE-212 (Russia). Power: 10W. Includes 5 attachments. Price: from 1850 rubles;

Mesotherapy for gray hair

Mesotherapy is the introduction of therapeutic cocktails into the skin. The composition of the injection for each patient is different, although the task before the doctor is the same every time - to restore health and strength to a person's hair. So, a medical cocktail for early graying will contain melanin, zinc, B vitamins, amino acids (arginine, threonine, lysine).

The medicine is injected to the depth of the hair follicle, 3-4 mm - so that the active substances of the cocktail are immediately absorbed by the body and have a faster effect.

The procedure is palpable, but it is carried out without anesthesia (in rare cases, a solution of lidocaine is used, but usually doctors work without an anesthetic, since it does not combine well with the active components of therapeutic cocktails). The course of mesotherapy is on average 5-10 sessions.

Patients say that the condition of the hair improves after the second procedure: the gray hair does not grow, and in general the hair becomes stronger and shinier, it stops falling out. It is advisable to repeat the procedure every 10 months in order to prolong the effect on time.

Mesotherapy can be classified more as a complex treatment method than a special procedure for treating gray hair. Cost of one session: from 2000 to 4000 rubles.

Hair laser therapy

Laser therapy is carried out for the complex improvement of hair. Low intensity infrared radiation stimulates blood flow and activity of hair follicles. In a few months of regular procedures, hair health is restored in about 90% of cases, but the laser does not cure gray hair and is more useful for prevention.

The procedure for laser irradiation of hair is painless.The device is similar to a hood under which hair was previously dried in hairdressing salons.

On the inside, it is equipped with 30 rotating LEDs - they all work at the same time and thus illuminate the scalp around the entire perimeter. The patient does not experience any pain or any other unpleasant sensations. The duration of the session is 20-25 minutes. The procedure is performed at intervals of 3-4 days for 1.5-2 months. Cost of one session: from 7000 rubles.

Preventive measures

To avoid the early appearance of gray hair, men should adhere to the rules of prevention:

1. Healthy food. The diet should contain essential minerals, macro- and microelements.
2. Observe the drinking regime. You should drink at least 1.5 liters of clean water per day. Lack of fluid prevents the full assimilation of nutrients.
3. To refuse from bad habits. Smoking and excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages provokes the accumulation of toxic substances in the body. This provokes earlier aging and the appearance of gray hair in men.
4. Make lifestyle adjustments. It is important to minimize the impact of stress. If necessary, you should consult a psychologist. Walks in the fresh air, good sleep, and physical activity are of no small importance.
5. Take proper care of your hair. It is worth using quality shampoos and balms. It is also recommended to use folk remedies.
6. Wear hats. The condition of the hair is negatively affected by both high and low temperatures.
7. Fight dandruff. People with seborrhea begin to turn gray much earlier.

Early graying in men is considered a fairly common problem. To cope with it, it is worth using special medicines, cosmetic procedures, vitamin complexes. Nutritional correction and a correct lifestyle are of no small importance.
