Treatment gets to the root of grey hair

A cure for grey hair which means millions will be able to throw away messy dyes could be available in the future, researchers have said.

Scientists found people who are going grey develop “massive oxidative stress” via accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in the hair follicle, which causes hair to bleach itself from the inside out.

According to The FASEB Journal, the team which includes experts from Bradford University’s school of life sciences, have discovered a treatment to remedy the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide.
