Using dyes available in the market to color your hair can cause more gray hair and cause allergies to your eyes and skin. But let’s look at the things you can do at home to blacken your hair without side effects:
1. Curry Leaves and Coconut Oil
There is nothing better than curry leaves to maintain the natural color of your hair. The vitamin B in it increases the production of melanin.
How to do it: Boil a handful of curry leaves in coconut oil until it turns black. Regular use of this oil will give your hair a nice black color and shine.
2. Dried gooseberries and iron pot
The antioxidants in gooseberries prevent hair from turning gray.
How to do it: Mix gooseberry powder or dried gooseberries with water and leave it in an iron pot overnight. In the morning, apply it to your hair and wash it off after an hour. When the elements in the iron pot are combined, the hair gets a dark black color.
3. Black Tea Rinse
The tannins in black tea will help give the hair a natural black color.
How to do it: Boil black tea in a pot and let it cool and apply it well on the hair. After an hour, you can wash it with normal water without using shampoo. Doing this continuously will enhance the color of the hair.
4. Henna & Indigo
This is a world-famous hair dye that can be used instead of chemical dyes.
How to do it: First apply henna and wash it, then mix indigo powder with water and apply it on the hair. This will help give the hair a ‘Jet Black’ color.
5. Black Cumin Hair Pack
Black cumin is great for the health and color of the hair.
How to do it: Mixing black cumin powder with yogurt or coconut oil and applying it on the head will help in reversing premature graying and darkening the hair.
3 things to keep your hair black:
Shampoo use: Using too much strong shampoo can cause the hair color to fade. Use mild shampoo or conditioner.
Sun: Excessive sun exposure can cause hair to turn gray, so be careful to protect your hair when going out.
Food: Eating foods rich in iron, zinc, and protein will make your hair healthy from the inside out
