You should first be aware that several medical issues and bad dietary choices can lead to premature hair aging. For instance, hormonal changes, smoking, pollution, stress, the use of inappropriate hair products, persistent colds, sinusitis, and thyroid conditions may all contribute to this cosmetic issue. Low levels of melanin may also cause gray hairs to emerge.
So, instead of using products full of harsh chemicals, which do more harm than good, you can try some natural alternatives instead. The most important thing you should do is consume a healthy and nutritious diet. Moreover, you can try the following natural remedy which is based on two available and powerful ingredients.
Ingredients:
- organic coconut oil (the amount will depend on the length of your hair)
- 3 teaspoons organic lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions:
You should mix the two ingredients until you get a homogeneous mixture. Then, apply the mixture to your hair and massage it into your scalp. Let it act for at least one hour. Finally, wash it off with a mild shampoo. Repeat this treatment once a week.
Why is this remedy so beneficial?
The two ingredients used in this remedy are one of the most versatile and beneficial nature gifts. Coconut oil is packed with anti-microbial properties, lauric acid, and medium-chain fatty acids, which can treat and improve the condition of your hair. Hence, coconut oil can condition the scalp, promote hair growth, strengthen the hair, treat damaged hair, and reverse gray hair. Moreover, it can fight dandruff and it leaves the hair smooth and soft.
On the other hand, lemon juice can prevent premature graying. Due to
the vitamin B, vitamin C, and phosphorus content, lemon juice nourishes
the hair and treats the cause of gray hair.
