The Gray Hair "Cure"

Scientists say a "cure" for gray hair is near. Brilliant or insulting?

According to UK's Daily Mail,  L’Oreal’s Paris-based research and development team is working on a project that will eliminate gray strands forever. Not expected to be finalized until 2020, the proposed treatment is comprised of an oral supplement and specialized hair treatments that will increase the production of melanocytes (the pigment cells that give hair its color) to return locks to their original pre-silver shade. 

What do you think? Has anti-aging gone too far? Or is this an exciting life-changing invention?

As a 41 year old woman with natural red hair was becoming a losing battle fighting the gray roots. It was becoming an all too frequent occurence of dying the roots which gets tiring. So I talked to my hair dresser and she recommended that I try Loreal's Red Clover dye depositing shampoo and conditioner. Because the products are concentrated a little goes a long way. My friends have noticed and have ask me what I use to keep my hair looking so natural. These products come in several different shade depending upon your color of red hair. So yeah I would definitely try something like this that would completely eliminate the need for any kind of coloring, weighing in any possible negative side affects of course.

I would definately try this. My hair started turning when I was in my early 20's - way too soon for me. I would love to give up the 4 week cycle of touch ups as well.

I would use it. I would not miss going to the salon and touching up my roots. Not to mention the damage it does to my hair. I'm trying to decide when to stop this masquerade, but I began going grey when I was in my late 20's. It's probably past the point of no return. No one would recognize me!

I'd definitely use this product, too bad it's not available now.

well, I would have used it in my youth that's for sure! but now i agree with those who say gray can be an 'attention getter'----i'm new to gray---only been letting mine come in for the last 9 months or so---i DO NOT miss the almost weekly root touch ups or the stained scalp etc...what i'm finding is that younger men kinda dig it----this fits with my theory that young guys want to 'do' older women just so they can say they had a 'cougar-like' experience....my son in law tells me guys in his age group-- 30'ish-- like to compare notes so maybe the gray hair is a draw---wouldn't want to miss getting hit on by a young stud looking to add a 'cougar notch to his belt.....:)
