Using hair dyes can cause more gray hair and skin problems. But you can give your hair a natural black color using the things you have at home.
1. Indigo and Henna
Indigo and Henna are known as chemical-free hair dyes.
How to do it: First, apply henna and wash your hair. The next day, mix the indigo powder with water and apply it to your hair. This will help give your hair a dark black color.
2. Curry leaves and coconut oil
Curry leaves are the best for blackening hair. The vitamin B in them increases the production of melanin.
How to do it: Boil a handful of curry leaves in coconut oil until it turns black. After cooling this oil, massaging your scalp will help prevent premature graying.
3. Amla and Coconut Oil
The vitamin C present in amla helps maintain hair color.
How to do it: Boil dried amla in coconut oil. Regular use of this oil will give your hair a nice black color and shine.
4. Black Tea Water
The tannins in black tea will help give your hair a natural black color.
How to do it: Boil unsweetened black tea and cool it. Pour it on your hair and leave it for 1 hour. Rinse it off with normal water without using shampoo.
5. Onion Juice
Studies say that the enzyme ‘Catalase’ in onions helps in reversing gray hair.
How to do it: Apply onion juice to your scalp. Rinse it off after 30 minutes. This is good for hair growth and darkening.
Things to note:
Diet: Eating foods rich in iron and vitamin B12 will help darken hair from within.
Reduce stress: Reducing mental stress can prevent melanin loss
