I bought the Indian Gooseberry powder and I have the coconut oil, I couldn't find the natural fruit. I want to mix it as a hair strenghtner and to get rid of grays. What ratio of each do I use to get the best results?? Can I boil coconut oil and add gooseberry powder to make it more concentrated?? Thank you.

Yes, but sesame oil is better than coconut oil as sesame oil dyes hair better than coconut oil. 12.5g of dry amla, 50 ml of sesame oil and 200 ml of amla juice boiled to a consistency until the oil looses its moisture completely can be used as a regular hair oil for grey hair.

Apparently unsulphured black strap molasses which is super cheap in the supermarket health food section can reduce grey hair but... over time, 12 months for a marked improvement, I've heard you should take up to 3 tablespoons all up throughout the day. Well worth the effort and patience because as far as I can gather it has many other health benefits, I'll be buying some tomorrow!!! Good luck to all of you.

Has anyone tried the amla, coconut oil, sesame oil concoction? I am 39 and rapidly greying. Wuld like to give it a shot

Hi Lovaraju

Because of lose or lack of vitamins & minerals which required for hair care is the reason , hormonal changes is another reason.

Rub Indian gooseberry (amla) mixed in coconut oil (boil some dried amla pieces in coconut oil till it turns black) into the scalp regularly. It can show wonderful results.

Use almond oil to hair, use mild shampoo, use herbal shampoo, Eating Sesame (Til) seeds daily and applying its oil regularly helps grey hair to turn black.
Eating Fenugreek (methi) sprouts regularly and applying Fenugreek paste on the scalp an hour before taking bath once in a week helps to overcome grey hair problem.
Eat protein rich foods as well .
Hope this will help you.

Hi.... I'm starting to grey quite a bit now... been avoiding to dye it (and finally decided dying is not an option for me yet)..... was thinking of applying mehendi, but it really makes the strains red.... getting confused what to do... lots of pressure to hide the white hair.... been ignoring and avoiding till I find a natural effective solution... Please help? is mehendi a bad option (kadai coffee amla mehendi mix- will it make it not too red)

Hi Aparajita

Don't do dye, This is not a solution for that. Dye has many side effects. So better do some natural treatments.

Try to include vitamins & minerals rich foods. (Eg: Eat foods rich in Protein, iron, minerals, iodine and vitamin A and B.)

Vitamin A Sources: dark green vegetables & yellow fruits such as broccoli, spinach, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and apricots.

Vitamin B Sources: fresh green leafy vegetables, bananas, tomatoes, cauliflower, cereals, liver, kidney, yogurt, yeast, eggs and wheat germ.

Proteins Sources: sprouted whole grains, cereals, lean meat, egg white, fish , chicken and soy in your diet.

Minerals like zinc, iron, biotin and copper.
Zinc Sources: red meat, chicken & green vegetables.

Iron Sources: beef, dried apricots, red meat, parsley, eggs, wheat, sesame seeds & sunflower seeds.

Copper Sources: sunflower seeds, cashews, almonds, crabs and oysters, egg yolk & whole grains.

Iodine sources: banana, carrots and fish.

Biotin rich foods : liver, cauliflower, salmon, bananas, carrots, egg yolks, sardines, legumes and mushrooms.

Use almond oil to hair.

Eating Sesame (Til) seeds daily and applying its oil regularly helps grey hair to turn black.

Eating Fenugreek (methi) sprouts or methi leafy regularly and applying Fenugreek paste on the scalp an hour before taking bath once in a week helps to overcome grey hair problem.

Drinking Carrot juice everyday helps to keep hair black and helps to overcome grey hair problem.

thanks so much Sujeetha, for all the info.
going to start including vitamins and mineralls in my diet... in a balanced manner

also the methi paste is a good idea... (makes the hair really soft)

want to try the dried amla in coconut oil.

should I use til oil or amond oil?

will do either carrot juice or til.
what about drinking amla juice? heard is good.
thanks :)
bttw, I applied a 1st layer of mehendi this morning, wil do a few more layer till the colours even out. hair is actually feeling healthier!!!

Hi Aparajita

Almond oil is very good for hair grow, hair fall so better try use almond oil.

Carrot juice is beneficial for skin, eye, hair & over all health so you can drink 3 times or 2 times in a week.

Amla juice, ya you can but raw whole one is still more beneficial for health , hair as well. Apply to hair also.
