The hair follicle contains oil-secreting glands, which make the hair shiny. Stress and illness and lack of proper nutrients diminish secretion of oil and pigments causing graying of hair. The hair is considered as a tissue which uses the same nutrients of bone, nails and which is formed as bi-product of bone tissue.
Photosynthetic Pigments. Pigments are colorful compounds. Pigments are chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light. This makes them appear colorful. Flowers, corals, and even animal skin contain pigments which give them their colors. More important than their reflection of light is the ability of pigments to absorb certain wavelengths. Because they interact with light to absorb only certain wavelengths, pigments are useful to plants and other autotrophs --organisms which make their own food using photosynthesis. In plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, pigments are the means by which the energy of sunlight is captured for photosynthesis. However, since each pigment reacts with only a narrow range of the spectrum, there is usually a need to produce several kinds of pigments, each of a different color, to capture more of the sun's energy.
