But sometimes it points to an underlying disease process, particularly when hair change color at younger age. Nobody wants white or grey hairs at an early age. Nobody wants to be called an old man at a younger age.

But one of my friend had a white hair and he was happy and contented with it that people will consider him a experienced doctor, as he was a doctor by profession.

It is a fact that white beard looks charming on some faces. The hair start whitening from the sides of the scalp and ultimately it involves all of the hair of head. White hair in the sides of the scalp of the men are considered the sign of the beauty in Europe.

The original color of the hair is white but the melanocytes give it a black color. Melanocytes also give skin its color. The skin color has a direct relationship with hair color. This color is scattered in the hair in the form of granules and this color is called Melanin.

Apply this paste on scalp (head hairs) and leave it for almost 4 hours so that the purifying and astringent substances in the henna act on the scalp germs, parasites, dandruff, and oils. Wash your hairs with shampoo. You will have deep dark brown stain on hairs.
