PTC Web Desk: While greying of hair is a natural process and cannot be completely prevented, here are some home remedies that may help slow down the process.
Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Amla is rich in vitamin C, which helps in the production of melanin, a pigment that gives colour to hair. You can consume amla juice or apply amla oil to your scalp and hair.
Curry leaves: Curry leaves are a rich source of antioxidants and can help prevent premature greying of hair. You can add curry leaves to your diet or apply a paste of curry leaves to your hair.
Coconut oil and lemon juice: Mix coconut oil and lemon juice in equal parts and massage it onto your scalp. Leave it on for 30 minutes before washing it off with a mild shampoo. This can help nourish your hair and prevent premature greying.
Onion juice: Onion juice is rich in sulfur, which can help increase collagen production and promote hair growth. It can also help prevent premature greying of hair. Apply onion juice to your scalp and hair and leave it on for 30 minutes before washing it off.
Henna: Henna is a natural hair dye that can help cover grey hair. Mix henna powder with water to make a paste and apply it to your hair. Leave it on for a few hours before washing it off.
Black tea: Black tea is rich in antioxidants and can help prevent premature greying of hair. Brew a cup of black tea and apply it to your hair. Leave it on for an hour before washing it off with a mild shampoo.
