An April 2013 study will no doubt leave the hair dye industry seeing red.
According to a joint group of researchers at Germany's Institute for
Pigmentary Disorders at E.M. Arndt University of Greifswald and the UK's
Centre for Skin Sciences at the University of Bradford, they've come
across a cure for gray hair.
First, a mini science lesson: Gray hair is the result of oxidative
stress that causes hydrogen peroxide to accumulate in the hair follicle.
In response, the hair strand then essentially bleaches itself, from the
inside out.
In the study, the process appears to be thwarted with the application
of a topical complex called PC-KUS, which converts hydrogen peroxide to
water and oxygen. The research also revealed that the compound worked
similar magic for a group of 2,411 patients with the skin condition
known as vitiligo, which is marked by white patches on the skin caused
by pigment loss.
Could it really be true-finally, a cure for gray hair?
