Why does hair go grey?

Why does hair become grey with age?

The natural colour of your hair depends on the quantity and dispersion of melanin pigments inside each hair fibre. There are two types : eumelanin and pheomelanin - blondes and lighter reds.

These pigments are produced by melanocyte cells situated at the base of the hair follicles. The age at which you will first notice grey hair is largely hereditary. Grey hair is not a problem though!
