With age, melanin production in the human body decreases, although it manifests with varying intensity in different people. This substance is responsible for the pigmentation of the skin and hair. When melanin is lacking, black or red strands slowly start changing their colour to silver. For many people, they eventually become completely white.

To effectively care for melanin-free hair, you need to adapt your daily care routine to them. Especially since the old reluctance to grey hair has become a thing of the past, and more and more people proudly display their grey strands.

What to do to prevent grey hair from yellowing?

Grey hair sometimes yellows. To prevent this, it's worth using shampoo and other cosmetics to which producers add a bit of purple pigment. Thanks to this, the yellowish tint quickly returns to a cool silver.

Another important care element should be moisturizing the hair, which will help maintain a shiny appearance. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the shampoo and conditioner have such a range of action.

Caring for grey hair. What to avoid?

With age, our skin has increasing difficulty in producing strong hair. Therefore, it's worth addressing this externally and considering it when choosing a shampoo. The cosmetic should have strengthening effects, supporting the hair structure from the outside.

Additionally, it should not contain strong detergents that can dry out the scalp. It's better to avoid shampoos with a high ammonia content that can react with the hair and negatively affect the hair colour.
