The present invention is a hair treatment agent comprising a combination of dihydroquercetin and/or a dihydroquercetin derivative with at least one amino acid. A preferred hair treatment agent comprises a combination of dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) with a six-amino acid mixture consisting of taurine, proline, valine, arginine, lysine, and glycine. The inventive hair treatment agent positively influences the natural pigmentation process of skin and skin appendages, such as for example, stimulating melanogenesis and pigmentation of hair, preventing and reducing the graying of hair, and repigmenting gray hair.
