Our body changes during the years as a result of aging process. One of the signs for getting older is gray hair, which can be caused by genetic factors, nutritional deficiencies and malnutrition, chemotherapy, etc.
Beauty industry offers us huge range of products that claim to cover up gray hair, but in most cases those products can cost a fortune, and even worse they contain chemicals that can damage our hair and scalp.
