Brilio.net - Gray hair on the head is a natural thing that happens as we age, due to decreased melanin production in hair follicles. However, the growth of gray hair is not only influenced by age. Various other factors, such as genetics, stress, lifestyle, too often styling or coloring hair, and exposure to sunlight, can also trigger the appearance of gray hair, even at a young age.
Many people feel less confident with gray hair and try to disguise it, including using natural ingredients. One method shared by the TikTok account @maryyam32 on November 17, 2023 is to use carrots, lemons, coffee grounds, and amla oil or coconut oil. In the video, she shows how to naturally blacken hair without using chemical dyes.
Carrots, besides being delicious and rich in vitamins, are also beneficial for hair health, including overcoming gray hair. The essential vitamin and beta-carotene content in carrots helps protect, rejuvenate hair, and provide a natural reddish effect that can disguise gray hair. Lemon, with its vitamin C and phosphorus minerals, is effective in maintaining hair pigment cells, preventing gray hair, and providing nutrition to hair follicles.
In addition, coffee grounds can be a natural dye to disguise gray hair. The dark pigments in coffee help darken hair, creating a natural brown or black color. Amla oil and coconut oil also provide extraordinary benefits thanks to their high antioxidant content, maintaining hair moisture, and preventing further gray hair growth. The combination of these natural ingredients can be an effective solution for gray hair care.
