According to London's The Sunday Times,
L'Oréal will have a pill that prevents grey hair out within the next
four years.
"We intend people to take it in the same way as a dietary supplement," L'Oréal's Bruno Bernard told The Sunday Times.
"It won't be expensive. Ideally, you would take it for your whole life, but realistically we would encourage people to start using it before their hair goes grey, because we don't think it can reverse the process once it has started," he said.
Grey hair happens because as you age your cells don't produce as much of a "helper" enzyme called tyrosinase-related protein-2. L'Oréal has developed a proprietary fruit-derived enzyme that it thinks will be able to mimic the effects of your natural protein, but it won't be revealing exactly what the enzyme is until the International Investigative Dermatology in 2013, closer to the pill's release date.
