What can pregnant women use to dye their white hair

Pregnant women cannot dye their hair, mainly because dyes contain a lot of chemical substances that will affect the normal development of the fetus. The appearance of white hair in pregnant women may be caused by mental stress and insufficient work and rest time. Pregnant women need to relax the pressure on their brains and eat more foods such as black sesame seeds or black beans to promote the synthesis of melanin. It is best to dye your hair away from special stages such as pregnancy and lactation.

1. What are the causes of gray hair?

1. Genetic or disease factors

The appearance of gray hair is related to genetics. People who have gray or white hair before they reach old age often have a family history. It is an autosomal dominant inheritance and can also be seen in certain syndromes (such as progeria syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, etc.). In addition, gray hair may also occur if you suffer from some serious diseases such as pernicious anemia, hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, syphilis, etc.

For this group of people, they can improve hair graying by persisting in massaging their scalp. The specific method is: before going to bed and after getting up in the morning every day, insert the ten fingers of both hands into the hair, and rub the scalp from the forehead to the top of the head to the back of the head, each time for 2 to 4 minutes. It can improve scalp nutrition, regulate sebum secretion, promote scalp blood circulation, and enhance local metabolism.

2. Lack of trace elements such as copper and iron

Studies have shown that lack of protein and severe malnutrition are one of the causes of premature gray hair, especially lack of trace elements such as copper, cobalt and iron in the diet can also lead to gray hair. In recent years, scientists have discovered that hair pigment particles contain a mixture of copper and iron. When the nickel content in hair increases, it turns gray. Therefore, trace elements are closely related to hair color.
