As women age, the body undergoes many changes that show up directly in hair and skin. Nutrient deficiencies, constant weather changes and hormonal imbalances cause hair to fall out in large amounts or turn grey.

Once hair turns grey, many women use hair care products available in the market, or use hair dye and colour to make it black again. But within a few days the hair turns grey again and its quality worsens. Repeated use of chemical products further damages hair quality and leaves hair looking lifeless. Following the right method can turn grey hair black again while also making it shine.

If hair is turning grey because of weather changes and a lack of nutrients in the body, external nourishment alone is not enough; nourishment from within is just as necessary. This calls for changes in diet to include the things needed for hair growth. Here is the full method for using green leaf extract, rich in Ayurvedic properties, to turn grey hair black. It is better to look after hair with home remedies instead of chemical products.

Bhringraj is considered a boon for hair. Women use the bhringraj plant to get rid of growing hair problems. It helps make hair stronger and thicker. Bhringraj extract reactivates the cells at the hair roots and helps new hair grow.

Bhringraj oil can easily be made at home. All that is needed is bhringraj powder, coconut oil, sesame oil, fenugreek seeds and curry leaves. First, mix coconut oil and sesame oil in a pan and heat it. Once the oil is hot, add fenugreek seeds, curry leaves and bhringraj powder and mix well. Heat this mixture well on a low flame, then turn off the gas and let the oil cool.

Strain the oil and store it in a glass bottle. Two or three times a week, apply this oil to the hair a day before washing it and massage gently, then wash the hair thoroughly with water the next day. This will help turn grey hair black and also improve hair quality that has deteriorated. Expensive products are not always necessary to make hair thick and strong; home remedies can also take care of hair.

It is better to consult a doctor before trying any such remedy.
