Leave it on for an hour, then wash off. You will be amazed by the results in just 2 weeks.
Coconut Oil and Lemon Juice
Coconut oil improves the blood circulation in the scalp. It contains biotin and other extracts that help in treating gray hair, while making your hair soft and shiny.

Henna
Henna is a great natural hair colorant. For rich color and lustrous shine, treat your gray hair with this flowering plant.

Rosemary and Sage
Use these herbs as a gray hair cure.
Mix an equal amount of rosemary and sage leaves in one cup of water. Steep and strain the liquid to use as a natural hair colorant. You can also apply rosemary oil directly in the hair for better results.
Onion Juice
The onion juice helps in preventing untimely hair graying, hair loss and baldness. It is rich in a natural antioxidant called catalase, which repairs the hair follicles.
Just apply onion juice into your scalp, massage gently, and leave it on for about an hour. Repeat daily for a couple of weeks to see the results.
