Who knew gray hair was a "disease??"

Hi Ms. K, So the company is not contented with hair color and now invented this pill to answer gray hair problem...wow! It's a natural thing for all of us to have gray hair as we age so why i there a need for us to change its nature? Hair coloring is acceptable for me but not taking a pill to change the color of my hair-- i am old and i am sure sure about its side effects. Taking that pill might create other problem that can complicate things.

That is hilarious but there is already a pill for it -- B vitamins!

There is no way I would take a pill to "cure" this horrible disease of gray hair. ;) I earned every gray hair I have and no one is taking them away from me. Seriously, people don't have a clue what they could be doing to themselves when they do things like this. I wonder what they tested it on?

Hi Karen! I keep observing that many people (specially women) are scared of gray hair and they keep using products of companies like L'oreal to color their hair so that they could look young. They not only do it themselves, but also encourage other women to follow their path. On the surface, there is nothing wrong in looking young, but I feel chemicals in colors permanently destroy texture and tone of hair and it is irreversible process. I believe that great percentage of men/women would like to go for a pill, which can stop gray hair. Personally speaking I won't like to color my hair or take a pill, let the natural process takes its own course.

I think it sounds like a bunch of bull. It is ridicolous the they try to sell a product. I have been waiting for mr. clean for years to come clean my house but he has never shown up.

Hi Karen, I'm skeptical to say the least with this. Does it say what colour the hair of those with grey hair will go, will they all wake up with red hair the next day? Surely it makes more sense that if people start to go grey and don't like it that they use a bit of colour on it. Anyway I can't see the logic of a company that sells hair dyes producing something which will stop sales of their product, unless it only lasts a couple of weeks and is more expensive than their dye products.

Hi Karen, it's all about vanity isn't it! and the extent that people go to get it, from fat reducing pills (which some are suspect) to facelifts, cosmetic surgery and the list goes on, anything to stop us growing old, I am sure some people would swallow literally anything to make them a few months, years younger. Sure most of us don't want to grow old, but sadly we do grow old, we can attempt to stop it, but to the extent we go, well, sometimes I think we could actually inadvertantly harm ourselves by taking things which could prove toxic for our bodies! Which could actually shorten our lives, so by taking something that could be harmful to reduce old age could actually curtail our lives, if that makes sense?

I never knew that gray hair is a disease. I've always thought that it is part of the aging process, that's all. Except in cases of premature graying which I've read somewhere is a kind of disorder. I don't think I'll be willing to take that pill. It's difficult to visualize the fact that we will put something into our system that will go into all our organs and finally change the hair color. Well, L'oreal must have done a thorough research on this and conducted some experiments before they made that announcement. I am interested to know the details of their research and the scientific basis of their claims. I will look more into this. Meanwhile, the idea strikes me as something strange and questionable. I have lots of gray hair at the moment and haven't even tried using hair dyes. cheers!

maybe... a part of my hair got pulled by a toy when I was young... ever since that incident, all that grows there is white hair... It's just a few strands but it's annoying at times...

hi peacefulwmn9 no I would not as if it changed my hair color' I would wonder what else if might do to my body. besides at my age gray hair is expected, and too I earned every one of those gray hairs. so I expect to look like I did too. he he Grey hair goes well with blue green eyes if it is kept clean and shining. besides my hair always smells good as I use Herbal essence shampoo and conditioner in herbal fragrances. I love its odor so much.

I´m sure that grey hair is of genetic origin. I would not mess up with my body adding another pill to the many I have to take in my age. But I do think that if you don´t feel comfortable with gray hair, you should tint it. I do because I don´t like gray hair on me although it´s becoming on other people. Happy posting!

Curing Grey hair! That is ridiculous! I would rather have grey hair than poison myself with chemicals! I believe that the best way to keep your hair your natural colour and not go grey is to keep your body chemical free in the first place by eating healthy and not coating your body in harsh chemicals. I think that it is these things that cause grey hair more than anything! Just my humble opinion!

Graying hair is "treated" and not "cured". L'oreal might be using this word to create a frenzy among those women who are utterly afraid of gray hair that there is finally a "cure" to gray hair. They might not understand that to cure means to put an end and eradicate the reason of AND the symptoms of the disease or illness. Grey hair is not an illness but ONLY a symptom of a decreasing melanin no matter how early or late in life it appears. Grey hair in some people of young age may indicate that there is an early decline of melanin or there isn't just enough releasing hormones to make those hair pigments or colors. Being a symptom it only needs treatment; a COLOR TREATMENT. If the problem is with the master gland not secreting enough releasing hormone then that needs MEDICAL ATTENTION and not L'oreal's, a COSMETIC company, promise of a cure.

I have gray hair in my facial hair in the chin area, I've gotten used to it now. I just wonder what something like this would be made of protein,melatonin, I'm just curious to know.

We all come to a stage in life where we do not care about the color of our hair and skin any more when we become responsible and have other priorities in the world. Till people attain that level they succumb to these new inventions of changing everything in our bodies which invites unnecessary side effects. Changing the the color of our our hearts and attitudes are the most needed thing in this present world.

Hi Karen, Gray hair is not a disease but a situation of our body which can’t produce some hormone to colour the hair because of the aging process. This definition is suitable for the natural graying of hair but the pre-mature gray will be a disease. ‘Melanocytes’ (cells) started to die we lose the clour of our hair. Now many ayurvedic products are also available for preventing gray. In my opinion a person is taking care of his/her hair from childhood can prevent the gray upto a great extent. Adding the leafy vegetable on everyday basis also prevent gray but there is no use if people start to care at the end (means when hair started to gray). I have no idea about the pills which you are talking. If it works then it will be a great idea for some people who bother about their graying.

I would love it. Grey hair is only a result of the pigment producing part of the hair shutting down. It's just part of the aging process. If I could jump start it and get my natural color back, I would be thrilled.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, I believe that getting grey hair should be restricted only after aging at old age. If it is pre-mature, it could be treated as a disese. Now a days it is very much seenamongyoungsters. So research has been doneand products to treat grey hairis order of the day.

It is actually the colour produced by a mixture of white and naturally pigmented hairs. What gives our hair its colour? Melanocytes within the hair follicle produce melanin (colour pigment) from tyrosinase. There are 2 types: Eumelanin - produces brown and black pigments Pheomelanin - produces yellow and red pigments Your hair colour is produced from one both types of melanin. Why does our hair go grey? The production of melanin pigment ceases leaving the hair-shaft white. The mechanism is not fully understood. Is grey hair a sign of aging? Possibly but not neccessarily. De-pigmented (white) hair-shafts may have genetic or health implications. If I go grey prematurely, will my hair turn completely white? Possibly but not neccessarily. Time only can confirm this.

I can't believe that L'oreal would be coming out with a pill for this. Wouldn't they be afraid of losing customer when they stop buying the dyes. I believe more people buy the dye to cover the gray then to just change the color of their hair. I wouldn't take a pill because I'm just not one to take pills. I'm afraid of what the ramifications in the long run will be.

Hai Karen, actually the colour of the hair should be influence by the corresponding genes which codes for that its natural besides this when u applying chemical on ur hair that clearly weaken your hair ultimately fall so please do not use chemicals as well as pills which establish many side effects. so please let them naturally what u have in natural way.
