The doctor told about people who turn gray later than others. According to experts, red hair contains a pigment that is less susceptible to damage. – The only thing is that in red-haired people, the pigment pheomelanin, which provides a bright color, is quite badly damaged, so red-haired people may not go gray for longer.” In addition, the doctor explained that the age at which hair begins to turn gray depends on many factors, including genetics, lifestyle and stress. The specialist emphasized that today there are no effective means that could stop this process.

Gray hair can be fully reversible only if the stress that causes it has been fully compensated, the doctor said. He added that on average, red-haired people have less hair on their heads – 90-100 thousand, and brunettes – 140-150 thousand, but this is compensated by the thickness of the hair.
