Some people see white hair a way of maturity and wisdom, but others see gray hair as a form of old age that’s unwanted. Some environmental pollutants, genetics, and hormones can cause gray hair. The worst part is that when you are over thirty years the chances of growing gray hair increases.
You may use dyes to cover your gray hair, but they contain some chemicals that cause considerable damage. Luckily, you can find natural remedies that can help to slow and reverse gray hair growth without causing any harm as listed below.
Beet, Carrot, and Lemon Juice
You can use carrot juice, beetroot juice or even combine all and apply on your hair which will help to add fascinating highlights to your hair color. Carrots are better for softer orange, beetroots for darker reds and lastly lemon for the golden blonde. Mix a cup of both juices with your hair conditioner then massage on your hair. Then after an hour rinse it off then sit in the sun to get more lightening.
Coffee
To get black and a vibrant dark hair you can make a pot of strong coffee. After it’s chilled, combine two cups of hair conditioner with a cup of brewed coffee and some coffee grounds to have improved efficiency. Rub on your hair and let it rest for an hour then wash it off. Repeat this procedure daily to have the hair color that you need.
Tea
Tea is also another way you can use to cover your annoying gray hair and maintain natural hair color that you desire. Put three teabags in hot water and leave it to cool then apply on your hair which should be wet and clean only once a week. Combine with your hair conditioner then after an hour wash it after the mixture is well absorbed. Rinse using cold water.
Potato Skins
After peeling potatoes, keep the skins to produce your natural darkening dye for your hair. Potatoes peels contain starches that act as a colorant which helps to darken your gray hair slowly. Pick some potato skins and boil them for some minutes then remove the peels by straining then leave the water to cool.
You can add essential oil to your mixture because it doesn’t smell sweet. Apply on your hair and massage well on all sections, or you can as well use hair dying brush to apply all parts. Then clean it using cold water and you can apply this method daily to have the hair color you need.
