Is Grey Hair Hounding You?

July 30, 2009


Greying is a natural and inevitable process, but people often find it difficult to accept this phase of their life. They get paranoid and end up covering the grey strands. Though there is no harm in covering it but remember excessive use of chemical dyes can lead to allergic reactions in the long run.

Not just that, it also affects the quality of your hair. It becomes dry and rough and looses its elasticity. As it is grey hair is rough due to lack of melanin and when it is treated with harsh chemicals it becomes even more rough. So does that mean that you do nothing about grey hair? Well, you can do something about it and the best way to deal with them is by adapting some home remedies.

1) Indian Gooseberry - This wonder fruit has many skin and hair benefits and one benefit is that it darkens the color of your hair. Indian gooseberry is known as Amla and the juice of this fruit when applied every week, will darken the hair in the long run. Apart from that it also keeps the hair soft and shiny and removes dandruff. Another way in which you can use this fruit is in powdered form. Soak the powder overnight in black tea and make a thick paste, apply this paste in a morning. You can increase its darkness by soaking this powder in an iron vessel/container.

2) Curd - Curd and black pepper powder when applied on the hair and scalp will turn your grey strands darker with repeated application.

3) Henna - This herb adds a reddish tinge, however, there is a tedious process that will give you brownish black colour. If you are willing to take some efforts then here is the remedy. Take 100 grams each of amla, shikakai and reetha and mix it with henna powder. Soak it with lime juice and black tea in an iron container for 3 days and nights. Yes, 3 days and nights and stir the contents so that the entire paste turns black. Apply it on your hair on the fourth day and leave it for 2 to 3 hours, but remember to cover your head with a shower cap. This remedy will turn your hair black.
