2. Beetroot Mehendi, Anyone?
Plain mehendi can make your grey hair look orange, and not many of us would be okay with that, would we? So, the next time you soak mehendi, add some beetroot in it. The beetroot will give a nice tint to your mehendi-ed hair. And don’t forget the natural conditioning qualities of mehendi does wonders for your hair.
3. Amla Works Wonders
You could either add amla to your hair oil or you could simply apply amla paste directly to your hair. This has proven to be quite an effective remedy and is believed to show results in approximately two weeks.
4. Ginger Is Great Too
No, you don’t have to apply this on your hair. What could help is grated ginger along with one spoon of honey consumed on a daily basis.
5. Biotin-Rich Foods, Yes Please!
Biotin is an important ingredient if you want to consume food that’ll help with your greying issue. Foods that are good for you are oats, egg yolks, almonds, cucumber, carrots, walnuts, and soybeans, among others.
