Brilio.net - Gray hair, white hair that appears when the melanin pigment fades, is a natural sign of aging. This process occurs due to decreased production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to hair, skin, and eyes. As a result, hair loses its original color and turns gray or white.
Although it usually appears in your 30s, gray hair can appear earlier due to genetic factors. If inherited, gray hair cannot be prevented, but hair dye can be a temporary solution to cover up the white strands.
However, you can try natural ways to inhibit the growth of gray hair. Like the trick from the TikTok account @soniarainee shared on January 17, 2021. In a 15-second video, she shows how to use coffee grounds and black tea as a natural hair mask.
"Home remedy for grey hair," he wrote in the video, as reported by briliobeauty.net on Monday (28/1).

Coffee, known as a caffeinated drink, turns out to have extraordinary benefits for hair. Its caffeine content can improve the texture and appearance of hair, while also acting as a natural dye. With its dark color, coffee can disguise gray hair and give the effect of brown or black hair. Not only that, the antioxidants in coffee help smooth blood circulation in the scalp, which can inhibit the growth of gray hair.
Meanwhile, black tea also has similar benefits. Its melanin and keratin content can restore the natural pigment of hair, while effectively covering gray hair that has appeared. Rich in tannins, black tea can inhibit the DTH hormone, the cause of hair loss. Its high antioxidants also play an important role in slowing the growth of gray hair, making it a natural choice for healthy and shiny hair care.
