WATCH: This herbal solution can turn your gray hair into natural black

Graying of hair is caused when cells at the hair base (melanocytes) stop producing the pigment which is responsible for giving our hair its colour.

Hair color and style can significantly alter the physical appearance of a person and thus alter his/her body image. As graying of hair is perceived as a sign of old age, premature graying of hair can bear an adverse effect on the self-esteem of the individual.
