Question

Hi, lybrate-user. Whitening of hairs is a natural ageing process and it's quite normal to have few grey hairs above 30 years of age. 1. To avoid hastening of the process of graying you should have a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, 2. Antioxidants like lycopene (tomatoes, carrots) also help in slowing down the process. 3. Avoid hair bleaching, heat and trauma. If it does not help you can have hair supplements containing calcium pantothenate and paba.

1. Daily shampoo is not a cure to prevent graying. 2. Greying at this age can be due to genetic factors. Either of your parents might have had the same problem. 3. Start taking 1 tsp triphala churna daily at night with water after food. 4. Take 1 amla daily. 5. Wash hair with a mixture of shikakai & + amla boiled in 2-3 litres of water till 1 litre remains. Let it cool. -wash hair with this instead of shampoo. Finally rinse with plain water. 6. Use prapaundarikadi taila (arya vaidya shala kottakal pharmacy) for hair.
