3 natural ways to reverse gray hair

All our lives, we have been taught that along with wrinkles and sore joints, we can also look forward to gray hair. Fortunately, with the latest advances in science and natural medicine, you don’t have to look your age.

It is possible to treat gray hair naturally without investing in harsh chemical hair dyes that can remove vital nutrients from the hair that keep it soft and manageable. Here are three ways to keep your hair looking younger, naturally!

1. Cosmetic treatment: gray hair dye is the oldest and most common way to remove gray hair. Many gray hair dyes use chemicals like ammonia, but many new brands using plant-based colorants or natural ingredients like henna are coming onto the market.

2. Medical Treatments: While there is still no anti-aging pill that will magically make you look younger, there are medications that treat the underlying cause of gray hair. Melanin is a body chemical that colors skin and hair. It’s also what comes to the surface when you tan.

Melanin slows down as we age, but medications are available to reverse hair depigmentation. Auxins, Imatinib Mesylate, and Gleever are some of the prescription drugs available. These medications can only be prescribed by your doctor and can have side effects; however, if you are concerned about coloring your hair with an over-the-counter hair dye, or if your hair turns gray too soon, you may want to speak to your doctor about it.

3. Topical Treatments: There are some natural remedies that you can apply to your hair to increase its built-in nutrients and prevent graying from showing through:

Eugenol Oil – Eugenol oil is derived from cloves and helps restore your hair’s natural color.

Amla Oil: Amla oil strengthens the hair follicles, which makes it easier to show the natural pigmentation (color) of your hair.

Ligustrum – This Chinese remedy is based on a unique berry that, when applied to the surface, causes gray hair to turn black.

Superoxide dismutase – These compounds are often found in hair gels and prevent damage to hair strands by strengthening the follicles against breakage.

Ashwagandha – Also known as “Indian Ginseng”, Ashwagandha protects against gray hair caused by stress. It also increases melanin in the hair, which helps to cover gray hair.

Omega-3 Shampoos: Omega-3s are specific natural compounds (often found in cold-water fish) that provide hair and scalp nutrients that protect against premature graying.

Melanin – The actual chemical in your body that gives your hair and skin its color can also be applied directly to your hair.

Retin-A – Often used in anti-aging creams and combined with alpha-hydroxylic acid, Retin-A restores your hair’s natural color and makes it look stronger and more manageable.

You can also try some over-the-counter vitamins and minerals to help strengthen your hair and delay aging. Vitamins B12, biotin, and folic acid are well known for their ability to give your body energy to reduce stress and, in turn, prevent premature graying of hair.
