Datangnya uban alias si rambut putih katanya itu pertanda umur makin bertambah.
Tapi kini banyak yang belum tua pun sudah ubanan. Bisakah munculnya ubah
dicegah? Rambut yang berubah menjadi uban adalah proses alami seiring dengan
bertambahnya umur seseorang. Setiap rambut di kepala terdiri dari dua bagian yaitu,
bagian batang yang warnanya bisa dilihat dari kepala seseorang dan bagian akar yang
tertanam atau menempel pada kepala seseorang.
Akar setiap helai rambut dikelilingi oleh sebuah tabung dari jaringan di bawah kulit
yang disebut dengan kantung rambut (follicle). Setiap kantung rambut berisi beberapa
pigmen sel. Pigmen sel ini terus memproduksi zat kimia yang disebut dengan
melanin, yang memberikan pertumbuhan batang rambut berwarna coklat, hitam,
blonde, merah dan lainnya. Pigmen eumelanin (untuk rambut hitam dan coklat tua)
serta pheomelanin (untuk rambut kuning dan merah).
Melanin ini juga zat yang memberikan warna pada kulit. Hal ini membantu
menentukan apakah seseorang terkena sunburn atau tidak. Gelap atau tidaknya warna
rambut seseorang tergantung dari kandungan melanin masing-masing orang.
Semakin orang menjadi tua, maka sel-sel pigmen dikantung rambut secara bertahap
juga akan mati. Bila sedikit kandungan pigmen sel dalam kantung rambut, maka
setiap helai rambut tidak lagi berisi banyak melanin dan akan mengubah warna
rambut menjadi abu-abu atau putih selama pertumbuhannya. Semakin lama pigmen
selnya semakin sedikit, yang pada akhirnya rambut akan seutuhnya berwarna abu-abu
atau putih.
Orang bisa mendapatkan rambut uban di umur berapa saja. Beberapa orang beruban
di usia muda pada saat kuliah ataupun sekolah, namun ada juga yang mulai beruban
saat usia 30-40 tahun. Cepat atau lambatnya seseorang memiliki rambut beruban
dipengaruhi oleh faktor gen orang tersebut. Ini berarti seseorang akan memiliki
rambut beruban di sekitar usia orang tua pertama kali beruban. Seperti orang kulit
putih lebih cepat beruban dibandingkan orang asia.
Namun, ada beberapa tanggapan bahwa stres dapat memicu timbulnya rambut uban
lebih cepat. Sampai saat ini belum ada bukti kuat yang menunjukkan hal tersebut.
Tapi, peneliti Amerika memperkirakan hormon stres yang timbul dapat
mengakibatkan peradangan yang mendukung produksi radikal bebas yang tidak stabil.
"Akibatnya yang sangat mungkin mempengaruhi produksi melanin sehingga memicu
timbulnya rambut uban lebih cepat," ujar Ralf Paus professor dermatology di
University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Lubeck, Jerman, seperti dilansir
Scientificamerican, Rabu (22/7/2009).
Nampaknya memang uban susah dicegah jadi hadapi saja sebagai pengingat kita
bertambah dewasa. Pilihan untuk menutupi atau membiarkannya ada pada masingmasing orang tersebut. Mau dicat, atau pakai penutup kepala bisa jadi solusi
sementara.

Dan dua hari lalu, seperti dilaporkan Dailymail, rambut Obama sudah tampak hitam
legam dan terlihat muda lagi. Spekulasi media ini menyebut ini trik Obama yang
sudah "aman" duduk di kursinya untuk mencoba kembali tampil lebih muda-dengan
bantuan ahli tata rambut.
Namun tudingan miring ini bantah oleh tukang cukur Obama, Zariff, yang telah 16
tahun mencukur rambut persiden berkulit hitam pertama AS itu. "Saya katakan
rambut putih itu 100 persen alami," bantah Zariff. "Dia tidak mewarnai rambutnya.
Kami tidak main-main dengan warna rambut abu-abu sama sekali," katanya.
Gara-gara skandal uban ini, Zariff beberapa hari terakhir menjadi incaran mediamedia di AS, untuk mengorek keterangan darinya. Menurut Zariff, rambut uban itu
muncul tergantung dari "model" rambut sang presiden. Selama ini, Obama rutin
menata rambutnya ke Zariff setiap dua pekan.
Bisa jadi, jutsru berkebalikan. Di tangan Zariff, Obama justru menutupi rambut
ubannya dengan semir hitam. Dan di kala dia terlambat saja mencukur rambutnya
yang bergaya cepak itu, maka rambut putih pun terlihat menyeruak di kepalanya.
Selama masa kampanye yang sangat padat, Obama terlihat beruban karena mungkin
ia tak punya waktu bercukur rutin setiap dua minggu ke Zariff.
Obama pun mengindikasikan hal ini. "Saya itu menjalani kampanye presiden selama
19 bulan," ujarnya dalam suatu kampanye di Virginia Agustus lalu.
"Orang-orang memperhatikan saya punya lebih banyak rambut putih sekarang
dibanding ketika saya mulai kampanye," kenangnya.
Kini, di tengah carut marutnya ekonomi AS serta tantangan Obama dalam
memperbaiki berbagai sektor kebijakan publik dan luar negerinya, sangat mungkin
rambut putih sosok yang pernah tinggal di Menteng, Jakarta, itu makin banyak.
Apalagi jika dia terlalu sibuk untuk bisa memanggil si Zariff, tukang cukur
kesayangannya.***

2. Stres
Stres berlebihan bisa menguras cadangan vitamin B12 dari badan. Kekurangan
vitamin ini mempercepat tumbuhnya rambut putih. Tapi hal ini bersifat sementara.
Bila tubuh sudah tidak mengalami stres, produksi pigmen pun kembali lancar dan
rambut kembali hitam.
3. Sakit keras
Sakit keras bisa memperlambat produksi melanin sehingga muncul uban. Bila kondisi
membaik, rambut hitam tumbuh kembali.
4. Gizi buruk
Asupan makan yang kurang seimbang juga mempengaruhi kesehatan rambut. Ini
menyebabkan rambut tumbuh kemerahan, beruban, dan rusak. Kurang gizi bisa
membuat jumlah enzim pembentuk pigmen berkurang. Kurang darah juga bisa
menyebabkan rambut beruban.
5. Merokok
Merokok menghambat aliran zat2 gizi yang dibutuhkan tubuh dan dibawa dalam
peredaran darah.
6. Zat kimia
Penggunaan sampo, minyak rambut, cat rambut yang kandungan zat kimianya tinggi,
sangat mempengaruhi kesehatan rambut. Minyak dan cat rambut meresap kedalam
pori-pori kulit kepala, sehingga mempengaruhi produksi pigmen.
7. Zat pengawet
Makanan yang mengandung bahan pengawet, pewarna, gula sintetis, dan bahan kimia
lainnya, juga mempengaruhi pertumbuhan dan kesehatan rambut.
Nah, apabila sudah mengetahui berbagai penyebab timbulnya rambut beruban maka
lakukanlah perawatan intensif untuk rambut Anda agar dapat memperlambat proses
munculnya uban, seperti :
Usapkan campuran air jeruk dan minyak kelapa seminggu sekali. Biarkan selama 15
menit lalu dibilas. Jika Anda melakukan ini secara rutin, munculnya uban bisa ditunda
hingga usia 60 tahunan.
Ambil secangkir teh pekat, tambahkan satu sendok makan garam. Setelah dingin,
tuangkan secara merata pada rambut lalu pijat-pijat kulit kepala. Biarkan selama 1
jam, lalu bilas dengan air dingin tanpa sampo. Lakukan cara ini minimal sebulan
sekali.
Creambath yang disertai dengan pijatan di kepala dapat membantu sirkulasi darah di
kulit kepala jadi lancar dan akar rambut pun lebih sehat.
menjadi tipe sel lainnya dan memicu pemutihan rambut."Mekanisme yang sama juga
bisa terjadi pada manusia," ujar Nishimura.
Penemuan ini, Nishimura menjelaskan lebih jauh, menantang teori-teori yang telah
ada sebelumnya mengenai cara tubuh melidungi diri saat menderita kerusakan genetik
akibat radiasi atau racun-racun lainnya. Orang-orang, menurut dia, telah berspekulasi
bahwa sel-sel akan mati saat DNA mereka rusak akibat apoptosis, istilah yang
digunakan untuk sel yang bunuh diri. Proses ini akan menghentikan kerusakan sel-sel
yang bisa tumbuh tidak terkendali menjadi tumor.
Tapi penemuan ini, terang Nishimura, menemukan kalau tubuh mempunyai cara lain
dalam melindungi dirinya sendiri."Mungkin saja jaringan mencoba melepaskan
populasi stem cell berbahaya yang mempunyai banyak kerusakan DNA," terang dia.
Orang-orang, menurut Nishimura, secara terus-menerus akan terpapar berbagai zat-zat
beracun yang bisa merusak DNA, mulai dari peralatan rumah tangga dan zat kimia
industri, radiasi sinar ultraviolet dan sinar X dari matahari. Dampak paparan ini, lanjut
Nishimura, akan berakumulasi di dalam tubuh."Penemuan ini menunjukkan kalau
pemutihan rambut akibat usia bisa diakibatkan oleh akumulai dari kerusakan DNA."

Kalau uban kamu hanya terlihat dibeberapa tempat saja mungkin akan terlihat lebih
keren namun apabila terlihat dikeseluruhan bisa-bisa kamu di bilang profesor oleh
teman - teman kamu. Makanya kita harus memberikan ekstra perhatian dalam
merawat rambut, mengecat rambutpun harus diperhatikan, walau mengecat rambut
dapat dilakukan kapan saja, kualitas rambut harus terus diperhatikan. Misalnya kalau
rambut terlalu kering, sebaiknya pakai kondisioner (pelembab). Juga, harus
mengetahui perawatan pencuci rambut. Misalnya, gunakan sampo yang tidak terlalu
alkalis (terlalu berbusa), sehingga malah membuat rambut jadi terlalu kering. Tapi
kalau sudah ada tanda-tanda rambut porous (rapuh), pengecatan harus dihentikan,
tunggu sampai rambut baru tumbuh.
Untuk melakukan pengobatan secara tradisional bagi kamu yang sudah beruban
cobalah memakai air santan kelapa, kelapa parutnya juga diambil dicampur dengan
santan, tambahkan air nanas, air jeruk nipis. Pakailah untuk keramas 2x seminggu.
Hasil perasan bisa dipakai berkali-kali.
shaft brown, black, blonde, red and others. Pigment eumelanin (for black hair and
dark brown) and pheomelanin (yellow and red for the hair).
Melanin is also a substance that gives color to the skin. This helps determine whether
or not a person exposed to sunburn. Whether or not the dark color of someone's hair
depends on the melanin content of each person.
The more people become older, the pigment cells gradually dikantung hair will also
die. When the bit content of the pigment cells in hair follicles, then every strand of
hair is no longer contain much melanin and will change your hair color to gray or
white during its growth. The longer the fewer pigment cells, which eventually will be
fully colored hair gray or white.
People can get gray hair at any age. Some people go gray at a young age at school or
college, but some are graying at age 30-40 years. Fast or slow a person has gray hair
gene is influenced by factors such person. This means someone will have gray hair
around the age of first-time parents go gray. As white people go gray sooner than
people asia.
However, there are some responses that stress can trigger the onset of gray hair faster.
Until now there is no strong evidence for this. However, American researchers
estimate the stress hormones that arise can result in inflammation that supports the
production of free radicals which are unstable.
"The result is very likely affect the production of melanin, thus triggering the onset of
gray hair faster," said Ralf Pope professor of dermatology at the University Hospital
Schleswig-Holstein in Lbeck, Germany, as reported by Scientificamerican,
Wednesday (22/07/2009).
It seems indeed difficult to prevent gray hair so face it as a reminder we get older.
Options to cover up or leave it there for each person. Want painted, or wear a head
covering can be a temporary solution.

Prevent Apples Uban At Young Age
Gray hairs usually appear in elderly people. Yet sometimes appear gray hair at a
young age. Many factors cause the appearance of gray hair at a young age, such as
heredity, malnutrition, and the hair is not cared for properly
The emergence of premature gray hair should be avoided because it makes less
beautiful appearance. Young age can prevent gray hair done in a simple way. Take two
apples, grated, give a little coconut milk, apply evenly to the head, leave 30 minutes,
Wash as usual.
Do 3 times a week, in 2 months you will see results. Hair will grow fast and does not
appear the new gray.

There-there Aja ... Pun So Uban Obama Problem!
Being President of the country like the United States with an average community is
critical, it is not easy. Let alone a matter of policy to manage the country, until the
issue was frivolous concern society.
Look at President Obama, not just its policies are to be highlighted, but the number of
gray in Obama's head was now a warm conversation. They questioned why the
sudden Obama's graying hair, or the more visible a lot of gray hair, when he had 44
days to be U.S. President? Whereas previously seen black hair in accordance with his
young age? Is the president too much stress, too much weight?
The case is not only experienced grayish Obama. Two predecessors, Bill Clinton and
George W Bush is also experiencing the same thing but not as fast as Obama.
Clinton's hair changed from brown (brown) to a total silver after two years in office.
While Bush first became president when his head was half covered with gray hair, in
the second period of his rule was changed in the blink of an eye all white.
This then triggers the attention of U.S. citizens. Why Obama is a relatively young age
so fast even grizzled than his senior. "I began to notice changes in the hair at the end
of the campaign until his inauguration," said Deborah Mills, author of Obama: The
Historic Campaign in Photograph, featuring five thousand head of Obama's image
during the year 2008.
Transformation of 47-year-old president of the appearance of it, from the figure of a
young senator became white-haired, dark-haired during the campaign last summer,
gave rise to rumors Obama is shined so gray hair to be seen as being an experienced
politician.
And two days ago, as reported Dailymail, Obama is already looking hair jet black and
look young again. This media speculation that Obama's call this trick is "safe" sitting
in his chair to try to re-look younger with the help of hair styling expert.
But this slanted denies accusations by Obama's barber, Zariff, who had 16 years
shaved persiden first black U.S.. "I said that white hair 100 percent natural," said
Zariff. "He does not dye her hair. We do not mess with the color gray hair at all," he
said.
Because of this gray scandal, Zariff last few days became the target of the media in
the U.S., to extract information from him. According Zariff, gray hair that appears
depends on the "model" the president's hair. So far, Obama routinely Zariff her hair
into every two weeks.
Could be, jutsru opposite. In the hands Zariff, Obama is just covering his gray hair
with black polish. And then he just shaved his late style crew cut it, then the sight of
white hair on his head burst. During the campaign period which is very dense, Obama
looks gray because maybe he did not have time to shave regularly every two weeks to
Zariff.
Obama also indicated this. "I was undergoing the presidential campaign for 19
months," he said in a campaign in Virginia last August.
"People noticed I have more gray hair now than when I started the campaign," he
recalls.
Now, amid ribald marutnya U.S. economy and the challenge Obama in fixing the
various sectors of public and foreign policy, it is possible the figure of white hair who
once lived in Menteng, Jakarta, it is more and more. Especially if he's too busy to call
the Zariff, his favorite barber .***

Beautiful hair tips and Freedom From Uban
Age is still relatively young, but already beginning to appear in gray hair. Surely it
would be a huge problem for our appearance, because gray hair with hair identical to
that already considered old age.
Major cause of premature gray hair due to several factors, Namely:
1. Genetic factors (heredity)
Usually when parents go gray early, one day his children will experience the same
thing. In the science of genetics, this is called autosomal dominant.
2. Stress
Excessive stress can deplete the reserves of vitamin B12 from the body. Deficiencies
are accelerating the growth of white hair. But this is temporary. When the body is not
experiencing stress, pigment production was again smooth and hair black again.
3. Ill
Illness can slow the production of melanin so it appears gray. When conditions
improved, black hair grows back.
4. Malnutrition
Less balanced food intake also affects the health of hair. This causes hair to grow red,
gray, and broken. Poor nutrition can make the number of pigment-forming enzyme is
reduced. Anemia also can cause gray hair.
5. Smoke
Smoking inhibits the flow of nutrients the body needs zat2 and carried in the blood
circulation.
6. Chemicals
The use of shampoo, hair oil, hair dye chemical substances which is high, greatly
affects the health of hair. Oil and hair dye seep into the pores of the scalp, thus
affecting the production of pigment.
7. Preservatives
Foods that contain preservatives, dyes, synthetic sugar, and other chemicals, also
affects growth and hair health.
Well, if already know the various causes of gray hair then do intensive care for your
hair in order to slow down the appearance of gray hair, such as:
Rub a mixture of lemon juice and coconut oil once a week. Let stand for 15 minutes
and then rinsed. If you do this regularly, the appearance of gray hair can be postponed
until the age of 60 years.
Grab a cup of strong tea, add one tablespoon of salt. Once cool, pour it evenly on the
hair and scalp massage. Let stand for 1 hour, then rinse with cold water without
shampoo. Do this at least once a month.
Creambath accompanied by massage to the head can help blood circulation in the
scalp become smoother and healthier hair roots.
Consuming vegetables that contain vitamins A and C as spinach, tomatoes, carrots,
broccoli or bell peppers, and also multiply eat fruits that contain vitamin C, because it
is very good for hair growth.

Stress Accelerate emergence Uban
Your hair is graying at the age that you think should have? Consider your lifestyle.
Maybe you're stressed out because it was too busy working to the point of not taking
the time for vacation and relaxation. Because your hair color changes can be triggered
by stress. Based on the results of a study of Kanazawa University in Japan, stress can
really make your hair turn white. When pressure builds up, bright researchers, a stem
cell that serves to renew the color of the hair will be damaged, so as to make the hair
white.
However, according to researchers, this is not entirely a bad influence. Gray hair,
which is the most obvious sign of aging, the researchers explained further, also serves
to reduce the risk of cancer.
When studying the effects of radiation and other chemicals on the fur of mice,
researchers from Japan discovered that animal hair is graying early. But, according to
Dr. David Fisher, chairman of the department of dermatology at Harvard Medical
School, inhibition of stem cells, which have damaged DNA, is also profitable. "This
process can stop the progression of tumors, which are clumps of damaged cells that
grow uncontrollably. "
"The process of hair bleaching is a safe mechanism. The researchers have also shown
that this mechanism is actually lifting the damaged stem cells," explained Fisher was
quoted as saying dailymail site.
According to Fisher, a study published in the journal Cell, has described the
consequences of premature aging and suggest that differences in stem cell groups can
also help prevent cancer. Stem cells are a source of life of the body. Stem cells will
continue to multiply so that they can distinguish the type of other cells.
When stem cells are located in mouse hair follicles cease to multiply, bright
researchers, these animals are quickly running out of cells that serves to create the
pigment in their feathers.
In previous studies, study leader Dr. Nishimura also have found stem cells in hair
follicles and illustrate that the decline in numbers of these cells causes hair to turn
white.
In this study, Nishimura and his team exposed mice to radiation and drugs used in
chemotherapy. Furthermore, they monitor changes in coat color and the stem cell state
of the rats. By looking at the hair follicles in mice under a microscope, they can see
when stem cells are transformed into other cell types and trigger bleaching hair. "The
same mechanism can also occur in humans," said Nishimura.
This discovery, Nishimura explain further, challenging theories that have been there
before on how to protect yourself when your body suffer genetic damage from
radiation or other toxins. The people, according to him, has been speculated that these
cells will die when their DNA is damaged by apoptosis, a term used for cell suicide.
This process will stop the damage to cells that can grow uncontrollably into tumors.
But this discovery, bright Nishimura, found that the body has other ways of protecting
themselves. "Maybe try to remove tissue stem cell populations that have a lot of
malicious damage to DNA," he explained.
The people, according to Nishimura, constantly be exposed to various toxic
substances that can damage DNA, ranging from household appliances and industrial
chemicals, ultraviolet radiation and X-rays from the sun. The impact of this exposure,
continued Nishimura, will accumulate in the body. "These findings suggest that
bleaching hair due to age could be caused by akumulai of DNA damage."

Hoar In Young Age
Do not be surprised if suddenly you have the hair gray or white hair. So far, we think
that gray hair is only found in older people only, but in fact the appearance of gray
hair at a young age can be caused by many things. The main thing is due to genetic or
hereditary factors.
If the content of the pigment is less, would be even blond hair and then white, gray.
Typically, gray hairs appear in the elderly, because the production melaninnya already
started to decrease. Metabolism to produce the pigment has begun to slow or even no
longer exist.
There are people who are old but not yet appear gray or only slightly, but some are
still young but his hair was gray all. This is also due to genetic factors. If not a lot of
gray hair is old though, means the formation of pigment metabolism does not last
long.
Here are some factors that can lead to gray hair at a young age include:
Genetic Factors
Disease immunology pernicious anemia, which is kind of lack of blood that often
cause gray hair
The existence of metabolic abnormalities, such as thyroid disorders or malnutrition.
Poor nutrition can make the amount of enzyme pembetuk pigment is reduced,
usage of chemical substances, such as hair dye
Use a shampoo that contains many types of high sulfur
If you only see gray hair in some places it would probably look cooler, but when seen
surrounding the entire can-can you say professor in by a friend - a friend. So we
should give extra attention in taking care of hair, dyed hair should be noted, though
dyed hair can be done anytime, hair quality should continue to be considered. For
example if your hair is too dry, you should use conditioner (moisturizer). Also, should
know the shampoo treatment. For example, use a shampoo that is not too alkaline (too
foamy), so it only made the hair gets too dry. But if there are signs of hair porous
(fragile), the painting had to be stopped, wait until new hair grows.
To perform a traditional treatment for you who already grizzled try using coconut
water, coconut scars are also taken mixed with coconut milk, pineapple add water,
lemon juice. Use to wash it 2x a week. Results juice can be used many times.
Laws Repeal Qoza And Uban
Question.
What is a qoza? How is legal and what is the proof?
An answer.
What is meant by qoza is partially shaved head hair and let some others. The law is
makruh
The proof is the hadeeth narrated by Nafi 'from Ibn Umar radi' anhu, he said.
"Meaning: The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam forbade qoza"
Then Nafi 'was asked, "What is a qoza?" He replied, "Shaving some hair of the head
and let some of the other" [Bukhari No. No. 5576 and the Muslims. 2120]
Similarly another hadith of Ibn Umar radi 'anhu, he said, "The Messenger sallallaahu'
alaihi wa sallam saw a kid who shaved the hair of his head and left some others, then
he forbade them to the said act.
"Meaning: Cukurlah entirely or leave it alone entirely" [II/88 Ahmad, Abu Dawud No.
4195, 5048 and Nasa'i Nasa'i with a saheeh sanad]
Question.
What is the ruling law repeal gray hair and change its color (polished)? What are the
arguments?
An answer.
Repeal legal gray makruh (hated). Similarly, changing the color (polish) with black
law makruh.
As for the argument of prohibition repeal of gray hair is a hadith of 'Amr ibn Syu'aib
from his father from his grandfather, the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said.
"It means: Do you pull out gray hair because it's gray light of a Muslim. It is not a
Muslim grows gray because (thinking) malainkan Islam Allah writes for him (the
cause of gray hair is) a good, lifting (with cause gray hair is) one degree, and remove
from it (the cause of gray hair is) a mistake "[Ahmad II/179 , 210-and this
pronunciation, Abu Dawud No. 4202]
Similarly, the hadeeth of Ka'b ibn Murrah radi 'anhu that the Prophet sallallaahu'
alaihi wa sallam said.
"It means: Anyone who grew gray because (thinking) Icelandic, then on the day of
Resurrection, he will get a light" [Tirmidhi No. 1634-and this pronunciation-, and
Nasa'i 3144 with additional pronunciation 'FII sabilillah']
As for the argument kemakruhan change the color gray hair with a black color is
based on the hadith of Jabir bin Abdullah radi 'anhu, he said, "On the day
ditaklukannya city of Mecca, Abu Quhafah (father Abu Bakr al-Siddiq radi' anhu)
brought to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Sallam was head of hair as white as
cotton, then the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said.
"It means: Take him to one of his wife to change her hair color with something (dye)
and shun black" [Hadith Jama'ah except Bukhari and Tirmidhi] [1]
Abu Dawud No. No. 4212 and Nasa'i. 5075 has narrated a hadith and Ibn Abbas radi
'anhu, he said, Rasulllah sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam has said.
"It means: In the last days there will be a people who polish with black like charcoal.
They will not smell the fragrance of paradise ".
As for the change (polish) rambbut with henna and katam [2] it is Sunnah, and not
(memyemir) with plants and za'faron waros [3]. It is based on the hadith of Abu Dharr
radi 'anhu, he said, the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said.
"Meaning: Truly the best of materials to transform (polish) gray hair is henna and
katam" [Ahmad V/147, 150, 154, 156, 169. No. Tirmidhi. 1752. Abu Dawud No.
4205, No. Nasa'i. 5062. No. Ibn Majah. 3622]
And from Ibn Abbas radi 'anhu, he said,' Once there was a man through the Prophet
sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam was his gray hair dyed with henna, the Prophet
sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said.
"That is: How good is this".
Ibn Abbas said, and then another man through his gray hair was dyed with henna and
katam, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said.
"Meaning: This is better than the earlier".
Then another man through his gray hair was dyed in yellow, then the Prophet
sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said.
"Meaning: It is the best of everything" [Abu Dawud No. 4211, also narrated by Ibn
Majah No. 3627]
[Copied from the book Al-As'ilah Ajwibah wa Al-Al-Maqrunah Fiqhiyyah bi al-AshSyar'iyyah fair vol Copied from magazine re 06/I/rabi Fatawa 'ul Awwal 1424H2003M]
