Greying hair, like wrinkled skin, is a manifestation of the ageing process. Both cause much despair and feeling of regret, for lost youth. When hair starts greying permaturely, it can cause a great deal of anxiety and hopelessness. It does present a problem of how to camouflage the grey hair and also check the process.

To understand the greying process, one must have a basic idea of the structure of the hair. It is in the middle layer of the hair shafts, the cortex, that pigment,or coloring matter, forms. This gives the hair its colour. The more the pigment may not form, causing the hair to be without colour. The white colourless strands mix with the dark hair and give the impression of grey hair.
