  Natural hair colour is as a reslt of melanin produced by melanocytes just under the skin surface. Any condition that reduces the activity of melanicytes will result in greying.

In this article I would look at those factors that affect the activity of melanocytes and how they can be reactivated.

There are variations of melanin, eumelanin is the most common type that is the reason for your black and brown hair colour. However, pheomelanin, another type of melanin, is the reason for your reddish hues. 

Apart from giving the hair, and skin its colour, Melanin also acts as a natural barrier, guarding your hair from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, UV rays. 

It functions by absorbs and dispeerses UV radiation, thereby keeping the radiation from causing damage to your hair’s internal structure.

Greying, a loss of the ability to produce adequare melanin, is a natural consequence of ageing that should be accepted with dignity.  However premature greying maybe as a result of genetics or defiences that can be corrected naturally.

There are conditions that contribute to greying

Adequate nutrution

Vitamins A, E, and Biotin (Vitamin B7) are readily available in foods such as eggs, carrots, sweet potatoes and nuts. They stimulate hair growth, enhance blood circulation and promote cleanliness. Also, nutrients like iron and zinc are vital for hair maintenance and repair.

Chronic stress

When your body is under stress, it can produce excess cortisol, which may disrupt melanin production.

COCONUT OIL AND LEMON MIXTURE

Coconut oil contains anti-microbial properties, lauric acid, and medium-chain fatty acids. These properties strengthen the hair, condition the scalp, and help to regrow hair. 

Moreover, it reduces protein loss and when used for a prolonged time, it also helps reverse gray hair because it is packed with antioxidants.

On the other hand, lemon juice also prevents white hair. It contains good amounts of vitamin B & C, and phosphorus, which nourishes the hair and treats the cause of gray hair.

Ingredients

3 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice

50 ml. of organic coconut oil

1. Mix three teaspoons of lemon juice with some coconut oil.

2. Then, apply this mixture on your hair and massage it into your scalp.

3. Leave it on for at least an hour.

4. Wash it out and then shampoo your hair.

Repeat this process every week and you will be amazed by the results!

Do not wash your hair frquently

The scalp produces sebum naturally. This serves to protect the hair from UV rays abd orevents breakage. Frequent washing deplets this natural oil and majes the hair vunurable and loose its lustre .

Palm Wine - Aphrodisiac, Health Benefits to Man ?

Dr Pete Njoku, MD, FRCS, FRSM Eng.
    Much better than beer and grape wine and loved by bees, Palm  wine is a natural juice, a white translucent sap of a variety of palm trees.  Although I have never climbed up a palm tree, I do own a few trees in the village. Professional tappers are normally hired to climb the palm. After tapping the tree, they position a calabash to collect the constant flow of nectar.  The nectar flows up the palm naturally by osmosis and is harvested twice a day for 5 consecutive days. No artificial prservatives are used. The most delicious palm wine or better called palm juice is gotten at the bottom of the tree when the taper comes down. I should know, been there, done it. In Igbo culture, a tribe that originates in West Africa  in the south-east of present day Nigeria,  the tapper gets paid in kind with a share of the wine. The owner of the palm tree gets the palm wine for 3 days and the tapper's share is 2 days. Then the palm tree gets to rest for 2 days. Palm wine has the sweet tast
