Gray Hair Cure? European Scientists Make Exciting Discovery

Hair dye might just become a thing of the past when it comes to the battle against grays.

According to a European study, scientists have discovered the trick to fighting the cause of gray hair rather than the symptom itself. The new research, published in The FASEB Journal, focuses on the root of going gray (get it?) by narrowing it down to a depletion of an enzyme called catalase that breaks down hydrogen peroxide.

When one has a buildup of hydrogen peroxide in his or her hair, the oxidative stress causes graying (the younger you are, the more catalase you produce). So how did the researchers combat this natural occurrence? They applied a topical, ultraviolet B-activated pseudo-catalase called PC-KUS.

Yeah, I have read it too - I wonder how long it will take till they will develop the actual cure.

I'm just hoping the 'no-hair' cure shows itself in the near future.

Every Bio-tech start up company has a new shampoo, just watch.

Yea, the "rub this here to make hair grow and rub it all over to make what's already there grow like crazy" cure would be awesome. I'd love to see this anti-grey cure hit the market.
