There's no harm if the skin wrinkles. But when hair starts turning grey, many people get worried. They rush to salons to hide their grey hair. Grey hair can be covered with chemical dyes. However, these also have side effects. Hair fall, dryness, or loss of shine are caused by such dyes.

But hair care experts say that if you want to naturally blacken grey hair without immediately resorting to artificial methods, you can use these.

Coconut oil with curry leaves

Curry leaves contain vitamin B. This vitamin helps retain natural colour, i.e., pigment in hair follicles. Coconut oil controls inflammatory problems. When these two ingredients are boiled together and applied, grey hair gradually returns to its natural state.

Amla juice

Amla contains vitamin C and antioxidants. These two components help prevent premature greying. Amla juice can be applied directly to the scalp. You can also mix amla juice with warm coconut oil and massage the scalp.

Fenugreek paste

Besides preventing hair fall and dandruff, fenugreek can also prevent hair greying problems. This spice contains protein. Fenugreek can make rough hair as soft as silk. You can boil fenugreek in water and wash your hair with that water. You can also grind soaked fenugreek to make a mask and apply it to your head.

Tea liquor

Many people rinse their hair with tea liquor after shampooing to naturally give a conditioning effect to their hair. Hair experts say that since tea contains a chemical called tannin, it easily gives a reddish tint to grey hair. It increases melanin levels to restore the natural colour of hair.

Onion juice

Onion juice cannot directly restore the dark colour of hair. However, it acts as a catalyst to increase melanin. Onions contain sulfur. This component especially helps in growing new hair. If you can mix onion juice with olive oil and apply it to your head.
