Basket Weave Hairstyle

                                  Basket Weave Hairstyle

I really enjoyed doing basket weave hairstyle today.

To get perfect weave basket  hairstyle is important to prepare the hair first.

I use flat iron to straight the hair and I applied clay to get more sticky hair 

To achieve perfect basket you have to take narrow strands of the hair.

Gray Hair

Gray Hair

Women tint their hair for many reasons and the first main reason is to add pigment to colorless hair .

Some people prefer tint they hair gray for a fashion's reasons

Source http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20121016-can-stress-turn-your-hair-grey

So far nobody found any medication for gray hair  but a team of European researchers claims to have found not only the root cause of gray hair but also a treatment for the condition. 

They think that hair turns gray due to a natural buildup of hydrogen peroxide in hair follicles, which causes oxidative stress and praying.
Catalase enzyme protects our hair from hydrogen peroxide.
Catalase enzyme production declines with age, preventing hair follicles from producing melanin.

Gerald Weissmann, MD, Editor-in-Chief FASEB says, “All of our hair cells make a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide, but as we get older, this little bit becomes a lot. We bleach our hair pigment from within, and our hair turns gray and then white.”
Catalase  is converting hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. 
Catalase can be found in highest concentrations in the beef liver and kidney.

The researchers also found that hair follicles need the enzymes MSR A and B in order to repair damage caused by hydrogen peroxide.
 Low levels of MSR A and B also disrupt the enzyme tyrosinase, needed for melanin production, leading to gray hair.



To cover your gray hair I recommend to check this website
myhairprint.com

This company is selling great natural product for gray hair


They product has to be mixed still with hydrogen peroxide

One more interesting video about gray hair below
To cover your grey hair you can use even more simple ingredient like black pepper, lemon and yogurt

One tablespoon of ground black pepper contains vitamins K, iron copper, chromium, calcium and manganese. 

(source :http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=74 )

According to researchers in London, the piperine content of pepper can stimulate the skin to produce pigment.


Update - black pepper 
I did some test to see how the black pepper can tint our hair

I was not surprised to notice that the black pepper will only give you yellow tone and maybe shine but it can't bring back the depth

This tint is will just give your hair a gold tone 
It could be good for a person who has 100% gray hair and wish to add to it some gold tone 
I would still recommend hair mask from black pepper as it is a great source of 
vitamin K, iron copper, chromium, calcium, fiber and manganese. 

I tint my hair with henna before but it stain my pillow cases later during sleep so I prefer to use ready colors now 

So how to avoid the hydrogen peroxide stress ?

If you use only low percentage of hydrogen peroxide you definitely will help your hair stay healthy longer 

For my gray regrowth,  I use only 1.9% hydrogen peroxide with 5/00 plus conditioner 

The tint washes off  after 15-20 washes 

If you are buying box colors from shops the other way to avoid hydrogen peroxide stress is to use semi - permanent colour

This tint has low percentage of hydrogen peroxide 

Some people have very resistant hair and to tint this kind of hair you will have to use 6% hydrogen peroxide 

Update 26 March 2016

Interesting information
how to decompose hydrogen peroxide 

here

Update 15 July 2016

Catalase is an important enzyme which is necessary to neutralize hydrogen peroxide
I found out that potatoes have very high level of this enzyme
so now I decided to use raw potatoes juice as a leave-in conditioner for my hair
 more info you can find
here

You can buy catalase gel online on amazon
