White hair on the right side of the brain

1. Genetic factors

This condition is congenital white hair. The vast majority of gray hair is caused by genetic factors. Their innate genes determine that their melanocytes will die prematurely and can no longer produce melanin, so their hair turns white at a young age. This is heredity, and people of this type can generally find several relatives with similar situations if they trace back to their parents or look around their family. Since the medical community is still unclear about the mechanism of this genetic phenomenon, there is basically no effective treatment.

2. Blood heat

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood heat, weak kidney qi, and weak qi and blood are all causes of gray hair. If your hair turns white or falls out gradually, it is mostly due to insufficient liver blood and weak kidney qi. Therefore, the treatment method of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to replenish liver blood and kidney qi.

3. Malnutrition

The main reasons for gray hair are "malnutrition" and "stress". A long-term diet that tends to be "high in starch and low in protein" will lead to a lack of amino acid supply. If the source of tyrosine is insufficient, melanin cannot be synthesized.

4. Mental stress

"Stress" is also a big bandit that plunders tyrosine! When under stress, the human body needs to produce more adrenaline and norepinephrine to respond immediately, so the limited tyrosine will flow to the production of adrenaline and norepinephrine. What's more, hair is a group of tissue cells that have nothing to do with life safety, so it doesn't matter whether it is black or white. Therefore, the function of tyrosine to synthesize melanin can easily be omitted by the body under stress.

5. Smoking: "Smoking" will produce many oxides and free radicals, which accumulate in the hair follicles and damage melanocytes. In particular, "premature graying of hair" is mostly caused by smoking. Thyroid hormone has the function of regulating hair growth cycle and coloring. If there is a problem with thyroid function, it will also cause gray hair.
