Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query.

Try these things to control further graying of hair.

  1. Add raisins, figs, and curry leaves to your diet.
  2. Use Mahabhringraj oil (Bhringaraja, Amalaki, Sesame oil) for your hair.
  3. Take coconut oil add lemon juice to it and apply it on your scalp. After one hour, wash with a mild herbal shampoo of any reputed brand such as Himalaya.
  4. Take some curry leaves crush them and add some amla powder, Brahmi powder, and Bhringraj powder to it. Add some tea water it make a paste and apply it on the hair once or twice a week.
  5. Do not stress.
  6. Sleep adequately for at least six to eight hours a day.
  7. Try all these regularly, and you will soon see positive results. Sometimes white hairs are due to genetic or environmental reasons. So control them initially. Follow-up after one month.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer.
