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.

For white hair, you can take tab pranacharya allergen capsule twice a day along with a drop of cow ghee in each nostril before you go to sleep at night. You can include proteins like soyabean, egg whites, etc in your meals and avoid tea, coffee, spicy, junk and processed food. Do pranayama daily, early in the morning. You can massage your scalp with maha bhringraj oil with hot water fomentation and wash your hair with an ayurvedic shampoo only.
