Still too young for grey hair? Try these 5 Indian herbs that can delay greying

What it is: All three herbs aren’t strictly Indian but are easily found in India and used in Ayurvedic hair care. Black tea stains whites, while sage and rosemary support pigmentation and shine.

Why it works: Black tea coats your hair, adding depth and gloss. Rosemary and sage are loaded with phenolic compounds that stimulate pigmentation and regulate scalp health.

How to use it:

Hair wash: Brew strong black tea with sage and rosemary leaves. Once it cools, use it as a final rinse after shampooing.

Tip: Do this weekly. Expect darker roots and more vibrant shade, not fake dye but enhanced natural tone.

Be regular

Here’s the honest part: none of this is magic overnight. Herbal care is a marathon, not a sprint. Pair these herbs with a healthy diet rich in biotin, proteins, iron, and vitamins (you know, eggs, nuts, spinach, lentils) and don’t forget to chill out, stress can make greys pop up faster.

Quick Routine You Can Follow

Weekly oil: Pick one – amla, bhringraj, or curry leaves – massage your scalp, leave for a couple of hours, then rinse.

Monthly shine-up: Use a henna mask to cover greys and add strength.

Weekly rinse: Use black tea + rosemary or curry leaves to boost pigment and shine.

Eat right + stress less: Fill your plate with hair-loving power foods and find time to unwind daily.
