Is it possible to reverse gray hair?
Despite the lack of scientific proof, several techniques appear as reversal options. Among the suggested products are: vitamin supplements, controlled medications and even treatments that study genetics.
However, according to a study by the University of California, science has not yet been able to identify a procedure capable of safely promoting hair repigmentation.
Even so, the most advanced research on the topic was carried out by New York University, in the United States. The analysis suggests the use of stem cells as a solution to maintain hair color.
The experiment used melanocyte stem cells (McSC), present in the hair pigmentation process. For researchers, the study offers important results for the analysis of gray hair.
If the testing mechanisms work, the research will find the solution to reverse or avoid the process of aging of human hair.
While the search for a solution to gray hair is understandable, it's crucial to have realistic expectations. To date, science continues to analyze methods and does not offer a definitive answer for reversing gray hair.
