To deal with white strands of hair in your 20s and 30s can be a daunting task. Many people associate grey hair with maturity and wisdom, but a bunch of silver strands can catch you right off guard. With age, we witness naturally grey hair, but because of our lifestyle and the air quality around us, the appearance of fine lines and grey hair is becoming more common. However, with some home remedies, you can control the premature greying of your hair and can turn your hair black naturally for a long period of time. Let’s see some ways to get rid of your grey hair.

What causes grey hair?
It is always indicated as the hallmark of ageing, but includes factors of genetics, physiological, and environmental factors. However, grey hair occurs because of the depletion of melanocytes, which are cells producing melanin- a pigment that keeps your hair black. As we age, melanocytes become less active and stop producing melanin thus resulting in grey or white hair strands. It is not possible to reverse the process, but you can maintain your black natural hair color for a long time.
