Seema's Answer
Well chitra ,you can follow some tips -
Eat a balanced diet based on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, low-fat dairy, lean meat, and fish. Your diet will show in your hair: Rich and shining tresses or dry, brittle prematurely gray hair.
• Coconut oil is the best moisturizer for hair. Massage the hair and scalp each night with coconut oil and wash hair the next morning. You may want to wear a cap to avoid staining bed linens. Use only plain, genuine coconut oil; don’t be fooled by various new kinds of oil.
• To boost the effectiveness of coconut oil, cut up Indian gooseberry and amla fruit into small pieces and then add them to a pan of coconut oil. Boil this combination until the fruit turns dark, and then strain the oil, which will appear dark in color. Massage the scalp with the coconut fruit oil. This will slow premature gray hair and also encourage hair growth.
• If there has been a great deal of graying, dyeing the hair with henna will restore some color. Henna is a natural dye, not a chemical, so it will not damage the hair. Collect henna leaves and boil in coconut oil until the oil turns reddish-brown. Apply the oil to your hair and allow to completely dry, and then wash off the henna. The natural dye will turn gray hair to brown or black, depending upon how much of the dye the hair absorbs.
