Curry leaf hair mask at home suggested for greying hair

A hectic lifestyle, rising work stress and a lack of nutrients show on the hair early, the article says. Hair turns grey and breaks, and the risk of scalp infection can also rise. If the roots do not get the nutrition they need, the hair weakens.

When hair falls, breaks or develops dandruff, people often turn to expensive hair care products from the market. The article says repeated use of chemical products begins to affect hair growth and leaves hair very dry and lifeless.

When hair turns grey after the age of 30, or even earlier, hair dye or henna is applied to darken it. After henna, the hair looks black for about a week. Then it turns grey again and looks drier and duller than before.

The article therefore advises using kitchen ingredients instead of applying costly hair dye each time. Curry leaves are found in every kitchen and go into many dishes. According to the article, a hair mask made from these leaves can be applied to the hair, which boosts growth and improves damaged hair quality. It is claimed that this will keep hair from greying at a young age and preserve its natural shine. It also notes that a home remedy does not show much difference the first time. The poor quality of the hair improves only after repeated use.

To make the mask, first wash the curry leaves. Put the leaves and water in a mixer jar and grind to a fine paste. Strain the paste, then mix in aloe vera gel and coconut oil.

Apply the mask from the roots to the tips and massage gently. The article says the massage will help improve blood circulation in the scalp and grey hair will darken. Leave the mask on for five to ten minutes and then rinse well with water.

The article says the beneficial compounds in curry leaves help strengthen hair from the roots. The leaves contain vitamin C and antioxidants, which it says help grey hair turn dark.

Several causes of greying are listed: heredity, ageing, stress, or a deficiency of certain nutrients in the body. When hair loses its natural black colour, it begins to look grey. The article says that once the hair's pigment has diminished, it is very difficult to darken it again. It therefore advises caring for the hair with a proper hair care routine.

The article also makes clear that the information is for general purposes only and does not claim to be a treatment. Readers are advised to consult their doctor before trying any remedy.
