NATURAL TREATMENT FOR WHITE HAIR

                No matter what type of hair nature blessed you with; there are things you can do to keep it healthy, lustrous, looking its best.

For many people, hair turning gray or white can be very embarrassing, particularly when it happens before a certain age. But due to their hectic lifestyles these days both men and women suffer from hair loss, dandruff problems and premature graying of hair. As one gets older, the hair loses its natural color and turns grey. But premature graying is a morose condition wherein even the young appear old due to the color of their hair. This is of much concern to men and women alike.

A few herbal and home remedies for hair loss, premature graying and dandruff are mentioned herein:

REMEDY 1

Amla or the Indian gooseberry is an excellent tonic for premature graying of hair and preventing hair loss. Cut a few Amla fruits into pieces, dry it in shade and boil in coconut oil until the solid matter is well cooked and appears dark in color. This oil when massaged into the scalp every day is the best medicine for premature graying of hair. Even the water in which a few dried pieces of Amla are soaked overnight can be used for rinsing hair. This is very nourishing and helps prevent premature graying. Also massaging Amla juice, mixed with almond oil and few drops of lime juice every night is found to be beneficial in treating premature graying of hair.

Point to Remember:

Never attack wet hair with a brush, no matter how rushed for time you are. Tangles in wet hair are best removed with a wide-toothed comb. Use a wooden comb if you can find one it won’t generate static electricity. Excessive blow-drying can damage hair in the long-term, making it brittle and causing split ends. If you can, let your hair dry naturally, then brush into place.
