Feb. 25, 2009 -- Scientists may have figured out why hair turns gray, and their finding may open the door to new anti-graying strategies.

 

New research shows that hair turns gray as a result of a chemical chain reaction that causes hair to bleach itself from the inside out.

 

The process starts when there is a dip in levels of an enzyme called catalase. That catalase shortfall means that the hydrogen peroxide that naturally occurs in hair can't be broken down. So hydrogen peroxide builds up in the hair, and because other enzymes that would repair hydrogen peroxide's damage are also in short supply, the hair goes gray...

If you want to see mounds of grey hair on the floor, come to Chaing Mai next week. I haven't had a haircut since late September, also in Chaing Mai. You can't beast those 50 baht haircuts/shaves/massage.
