These ways will help increase the production of melanin, which maintains the black color of your hair:
1. Amla & Coconut Oil
Amla is rich in vitamin C, which helps maintain the black color of your hair.
How to use: Boil dried amla pieces in coconut oil until they turn black. Applying this oil regularly on your head will help darken your hair.
2. Curry Leaf Hair Mask
Curry leaves, which are readily available in our country, are the best for darkening your hair.
How to use: Grind a handful of curry leaves, mix them with yogurt or coconut oil and apply them on your head. Rinse after half an hour. This will make your hair black and shiny.
3. Black Tea Rinse
The tannic acid in tea water will help darken your hair naturally.
How to use: Make a strong tea and let it cool. After shampooing, wash your hair with this water. After 20 minutes, you can wash it with normal water. (Do not use soap).
4. Henna & Indigo Powder
This can be used as a chemical-free hair dye. While henna gives a reddish color to the hair, indigo powder turns it black.
How to use: First, wash the henna and then mix indigo powder and apply it on the head. This will give the hair a long-lasting black color.
5. Coffee Rinse
Coffee powder is one of the fastest ways to enhance the color of your hair.
How to use: Mix a little coffee powder in strong coffee water and apply it to your hair in a paste. Rinse it off after an hour.
Other things to keep in mind for black hair:
Diet: Eat plenty of foods rich in vitamin B12, iron, and copper (eggs, spinach, nuts).
Reduce stress: Excessive mental stress can cause premature graying.
Avoid heating: Excessive use of hair dryers and straightening machines can strip the natural color of the hair.
