Mix these two ingredients with mustard oil to stop grey hair early

Women in their 20s are increasingly concerned about grey hair, which has become a growing issue in the beauty and health industry. The main culprits behind this early greying are improper hair care and the frequent use of chemical hair products. The colour of our hair is primarily determined by the melanin levels in our strands, and as these levels decrease, our hair naturally shifts from its usual dark hue to grey.

From unhealthy eating habits to pollution and chemical-based products, one cannot turn the white hair back, but one can surely prevent it from turning grey. Avoid using manufactured hair oils, which have a minimal amount of natural ingredients; instead, start using homemade hair oils from your kitchen staples and apply them directly to your strands. One such kitchen ingredient is mustard oil, which is a common and healthy ingredient found in nearly every Indian household. You can transform your mustard oil by adding these two secret ingredients.


Ingredients required: 1 cup mustard oil, 1 tablespoon nigella powder, 1 tablespoon amla powder.

How to make it?

Step 1: Take an iron pan and add some mustard oil to it.

Step 2: Grind the nigella seeds and prepare a powder. Now, add the amla powder and let this mixture cook on a low flame.

Step 3: As the oil will turn black in some time, let it cool down, and with a tea strainer, strain the mixture in a glass jar.

Step 4: Apply this oil on the roots of the hair once a week and leave the oil on the strands overnight.

Step 5: You can wash the hair with shampoo the next day and apply this oil mixture twice a week.


Precautions to keep in mind

• Prevent the mixture from entering your eyes, as it can cause excessive watering.

• If you’re struggling with asthma or you’re a respiratory patient, then avoid using the oil because it has a sharp scent.

• If you have a scalp infection, then wait for it to be cured, and only then apply this homemade oil.

• People struggling with an oily scalp should avoid keeping it overnight and can wash their hair after 1 hour of application.

Final line

Applying this oil will not change your white hair back to black, but it can only prevent the black strands from turning grey. If you’re using this oil, then do not apply any other chemical-based colour or shampoo; opt for mild shampoos that can clear the scalp buildup. If you don't, the oil's beneficial effects will be completely negated.
