Premature grey hair can be cured with these Ayurvedic tips

It’s natural for one to develop grey hair when one ages, but some people may develop this problem at a very early age. While for some, this could be due to heredity factors, for a few it could be because of a health disorder. Even our lifestyle, hormonal change, unhealthy diet, insufficient nutrition and other such factors may be the cause for premature graying.

Although you do have different kinds of chemical based treatments that can curtail the graying of hair, it does pose a health risk and can affect the quality, life and growth of our hair and roots. Instead of going through such risks, you can take on some natural therapies to reduce or prevent your hair from aging before time. Here are a few Ayurvedic tips that can help you out in the most effective way.

Coconut Oil and Curry Leaves

For this hair pack, you would need a few curry leaves and some coconut oil (the amount of oil depends on the length of your hair). The processing time for this pack is around 45 minutes.

Take a saucepan, pour the coconut oil, curry leaves, and let it be on the fire for 5 minutes. After that, wait for the oil to cool down and then part your hair into small portions and apply the mixture on your scalp.
