- Using oils to massage the scalp every day can help with not only the growth of white hair, but also to keep the hair healthy. One remedy uses lavender and bay oils, and is involves mixing about 6 drops of these to either 4 ounces of sesame or almond oil. The way this works is by increasing the amount of blood flow into the hair roots. Massage this mixture into the hair and scalp, wait at least a half an hour, and then wash your hair.
- Aloe vera can be used to help with hair that is becoming whiter. To use this method, simply mix aloe vera into coconut milk and wheat germ, and then massage it slowly into your scalp. After applying the aloe vera mixture, rinse it out very thoroughly, shampoo, and rinse again. This will also help increase the rate of hair growth.
- One way to fight against graying and whitening hair is the Indian tradition of using gooseberry fruit. To do so, cut up gooseberries into small strips and let them air dry in a shady area. After they have dried, boil them in a coconut oil until they are very well cooked. Use this cooked fruit and massage it gently into your scalp every day. The water that the gooseberries were cooked in can also be used to wash the hair.
- Henna is an additional herb that has been used since ancient times in the country of India. Henna products are known for strengthening the hair, and are claimed to be helpful in preventing and reducing white hair. There are many products available with henna as an ingredient that can be applied for this reason.
- Curry leaves are also said to help with reducing white hair, as well as strengthening and rejuvenating the hair. Curry can be eaten as a seasoning in many dishes, or can be boiled in coconut oil in the same manner as gooseberries, and applied to the hair itself.
