SCIENTISTS have got to the root of grey hair - paving the way for locks that retain the lustre of youth.
US researchers have identified a protein, "wnt", found to be vital to the production of colour in hairs.
The breakthrough raises the prospects of drugs, lotions or shampoos that raise levels of wnt, and restore white or grey hair to its natural colour.
Such a treatment would save women endless expensive trips to the hair salon. It doubtless also would be popular with middle-aged men keen to recapture their youthful looks.
