Essentially, graying hair is just natural, whether you have a full head of silver or patches of gray throughout. Loss of pigmentation in hair is something out of our control, agrees celebrity colorist and Redken brand ambassadorMatt Rez. Its largely due to genetics and aging in general, and unfortunately there arent any existing treatments to reverse those grays to their natural vigor.

The melanocytes are pigment producing cells located near the bulb of the hair and their stem cells, explains hair transplant surgeon James S. Calder, M.D., medical director of Ziering Medical.

And according to Calder, no supplement, nor diet, can successfully prevent the process forever.
