2 Best Natural Hair Dyes for Premature Gray Hair

Today we all are concerned about the problem of greying of hair.  In today’s era, premature greying is very common and only grows with time.  We undergo so many treatments to either prevent or hide our grey hairs.  The most common is coloring our hair.

We hardly realize the harm hair color does to our hair until it is done.  This damage is then irreversible.  Our hair is the best when our moms take care of it  We have always underestimated the benefits of oiling our hair, herbal washes for our hair, etc.  They might not give immediate results but trust us they are the best.

We have asked our friend Swati to share her personal experience that worked for her to treat grey hair naturally at home.

She has tried and tested this wonderful gray hair covering treatment using organic ingredients without any side effects. According to her, grey hair cannot be reversed fast but it can be hidden smartly using this natural and organic treatment.

Disclaimer:  Organic treatment takes time.  It can be messy.

it’s worth the time and effort.  Henna plus indigo is a totally organic process to color your hair.  And it will only enhance the quality of your hair.

There are 2 ways to go about it.
