A grey hair cure may be available in 10 years

For some women, going grey is a natural and beautiful part of the aging process. For others, the disappearance of hair pigment means spending lots of dough on hair dye or more frequent trips to the salon. If you fall into the second category, prepare to have your mind blown. Cosmetics company L'Oreal has been conducting extensive research on a treatment that will potentially restore your natural hair color, and prevent greys from ever showing up.

"When hair goes gray, there is a progressive disappearance of the melanocytes from the hair," explains Patricia Pineau, L'Oreal Research Communications. "While there are still melanocytes in the hair, there is still hope that it could be re-pigmented."

L'Oreal spends nearly $1 billion annually on research--about twice as much as its competitors--and after 100 years of hard work, they believe they've come up with a probable solution to eliminate greying. The process would target the hair inside and out with oral supplements and a topical hair care treatment. With further research, the company says the treatment should be ready for the public in 10 years. That seems a long way off, but if it works, readers in their 20s and 30s (or maybe 40s if you're lucky) who still maintain their natural color may never have to face grey hair!
