All hair is "dead" but the part connected to the head is sorta alive. The end pieces don't receive the nutrients from your body but the beginning does. It grays from the tips because it's the first place that doesn't receive nutrients fast enough

Does hair start greying at the roots or on the ends?

Hair starts greying from the end tip gradually goes down into the root. I have black hair and have observed this. I can not explain how this happens, but once the greying from the tip reaches the root, it becomes irreversibly grey, even when you cut the hair it grows out grey.


What causes grey hair to appear at the tip rather than the root?

Grey hair appears at the tip rather than the root due to a decrease in melanin production in the hair follicle as a person ages. This can cause the hair to lose its natural color and appear grey.

How to make short hair grow super fast?

You can't. Hair grows at a certain rate pretty much regardless of what you do. you cannot put anything on it because you hair grows from the roots not from the tip and you cannot get anything inside your head so if you actually put something on your hair to make it grow it is a waist of your time. for example if you pull you hair it hurts because you are pulling the roots, but if you hold you hair from the middle really hard with one hand and you pull the bottom part with the other hand, then it won't hurt because you are not pulling the roots.


If you let your hair grow will hair grow under that hair?

No. Considering that hair grows from the follicle and not at the tip then, in a manner of speaking, hair is always growing under your hair, however, it doesn't form a "second layer" of hair but merely extends the current one.


Can omega 3 fish oil change grey hair back to brown?

Absolutely! Though I didn't know it when I started taking omega 3. I had been plucking the odd grey hair for a few months already when I started taking (2) 1200 mg organic flaxseed a day. I just found one short grey hair that was grey on the tip and normal color at the root. I also can find no more grey hairs!

How many people would I need to tip at a hair salon?

In a hair salon you normally tip only the people who have worked on your hair. Here are some examples: you should tip the person who washes your hair, you should tip your hairdresser and if you had another service done like a coloring you should tip that person if it is someone different.
