Hair loss problem occurs because of different factors. In some cases, the problem can leave to baldness. Well. In one of the studies, it has shown that a cure is found for baldness and grey hair.

• Vitiligo leads to melanocytes which helps in producing the hair color is destroyed or lost.

• Alopecia areata condition leads to hair loss in small patches. It might even make the hair grey overnight.

Study on baldness and grey hair

the study was carried out at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas in the Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study investigated the problem called neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) which is a genetic condition and tumors grow on the nerves.

• The study was aimed to find the reason behind tumor growth in NF1. Instead was that it was found the treatment options for the hair loss and gray hair. The findings were reported in the journal ‘Genes and Development’.

• Around 2-3rd of men by the age of 35 will face hair loss problem and around 40% of this problem is found in women.

• By the age of 50 around 50% of hair turns grey in most adults.

• No doubt, the grey hair is considered as a part of the aging but some of its condition is quite distressing. There is a discovery that has discovered the new treatment which can prove beneficial in treating the graying and baldness problem.

Finding leads to the use of Topical treatment

• The study found that hair follicles contain stem cell which helps in hair growth and for pigmentation the protein named stem cell factor (SCF) is helpful.

• In the study, it was found that stem cells move the hair follicles which is known as KROX20 which is important for nerve development.

• It was found that KROX20 gets activated and there is the production of SCF which is very essential for hair pigmentation.

• The research showed that both KROX20 and SCF communicate with the melanocyte cells which form the pigmented cells. The pigments help give color to hair, skin, and eyes.

• With age, the KROX20-producing cells got affected which means the new hair did not grow. More research still needs to be done to find the best solution.
