How To Disguise White Hair Homely

The gray hair that appears in men and women after the age of 40 is not very “nice”, because for many, it demonstrates the passing of time and the beginning of old age. If your first white hairs are coming out, be sure to read this article to learn how to disguise them at home.

Why does gray hair appear?

This is a clear sign of aging, although there are cases of young people who have white hair before the age of 35 years. They are most evident in people with dark hair and, like wrinkles, the goal is usually to avoid or hide them.

Although it is inevitable that the hair will turn all white, it is possible to delay the appearance of white threads with homemade treatments, as well as using natural dyes to cover them.

The main cause of gray hair is age. According to experts, the age at which they appear depends on maternal genes. So if your mother has a lot of gray hair from an early age, chances are you do too.

The reason is the lack of melanin, the component that gives hair color. Factors such as  stress or an unhealthy lifestyle can contribute to graying hair or to appearing earlier than normal.

It is also said that eating too much sugar and refined flour is another cause, although there is no scientific evidence for this.

Women suffer more than men because of gray hair and, moreover, it appears earlier in them than in them. What women usually do is cover them up.

Remedies to delay the appearance of gray hair

Thanks to these homemade recipes you will be able to improve the appearance of your hair, delaying the loss of hair color, in addition to moisturizing and strengthening them.

If you get gray hair prematurely, be aware that this has a lot to do with genetic inheritance (as mentioned above), although lack of iodine or copper may be behind your problem.

Eat more nuts, whole grains,  vegetables, avocados and peas. Reduce your alcohol intake and stop smoking. Also, the best home remedies to prevent gray hair include:

Sage

It is an herb recommended for people who have brown hair. Salvia has many properties and diverse applications.

Infuse a handful of sage and a handful of black tea in a pint of boiling water. Allow to cool and use in the last rinse when washing your hair.

Rosemary

If your hair is dark, you can use the rosemary infusion to cover gray hair. Make a tea with four tablespoons of  rosemary in half a liter of water.

It also serves to strengthen the roots and improve the appearance of the scalp. You can use a spray bottle to spread the infusion all over your hair.

As the days go by and with daily use, the hair will start to darken.

Chamomile and turmeric

These two options are for light brown and blonde hair. Using an infusion of both, you can have golden highlights and cover gray hair.  Mix four tablespoons of chamomile in half a liter of water, filter and use for the last rinse.

If you want your hair to have a more honeyed tone, add two tablespoons of turmeric powder to the tea.

Avocado, argan oil or coconut oil

These three indispensable hair allies can help delay the appearance of gray hair, and their oily components also hydrate the hair. You can mix the three ingredients together to make a mask.

Cover your hair with a hot towel, leave it on for 20 minutes and rinse with plenty of hot water.

Magnolia

Magnolia tea is very good for hiding gray hair. You only need to mix a spoon in a cup of hot water. Then,  filter when it has cooled down and, when the hair is already clean, pour the infusion.

It will darken gray hair and give it a more even tone.
