Brilio.net - Gray hair is a natural thing that appears as we age. Indonesian hair, which is generally black, has high levels of melanin, but over time, melanin production decreases, causing hair to turn white. Usually gray hair begins to appear in the 40s, but it can appear earlier due to genetic factors or excessive stress.
Excessive stress can weaken hair pigment, causing hair to lose its strength, fall out easily, and accelerate the onset of gray hair. Although hair dye at the salon can be a solution, the chemicals in it can damage hair.
Alternatively, use natural ingredients to darken gray hair . One of them is garlic skin, as shared by TikTok account @tambunbatam1975 on December 14, 2022. In the video, he uses garlic skin and coconut oil as the main ingredients.

Garlic, besides being a kitchen spice, turns out to have extraordinary benefits for hair health and beauty. Quoting from Style Craze, the active compounds in garlic can stimulate hair pigments to produce natural black color again. In fact, the skin of the onion is also rich in benefits, with similar content as garlic itself.
Garlic skin contains vitamins C, B1, B6, magnesium, phosphorus, biotin, and sulfur, which are effective in removing gray hair while also dealing with other hair problems, such as tangles and hair loss.
Meanwhile, coconut oil is a perfect natural ingredient for hair care. With lauric acid content, coconut oil moisturizes hair, making it smoother, thicker, shinier, and protected from the harmful effects of sunlight. Moisturized hair also looks healthier and shinier.
The combination of garlic skin and coconut oil can be a natural solution for gray hair while maintaining overall hair health.
Just by using these two ingredients you can blacken gray hair and disguise white hair. If used regularly, you will get hair that looks shiny black. Here's how to make it:
