Hairs seems to become grey overnight,  if the pigmented hair falls off quickly.  The age at which a person"s hair becomes white depends on hereditary factors, but diet , lifestyle and stress can also cause premature graying . . Some of the home remedies for preventing formation of grey  or white hair are:

1. Amla or Indian gooseberry is a popular home remedy. If  fresh amla are available , a paste of amla can made and applied to the hair. Dry amla can be ground into a powder, mixed with water and massaged into the hair. Otherwise amla hair oil can applied to the hair. Dried amla is also available for eating but the pouches are expensive - 200 g cost Rs 45 (about US$ 1)

2. Take black tea (without milk or sugar) and massage it on the roots of the hair.  Leave it on the hair for an hour and then wash it away. This will coat the hair strand, hide the grey color.

3.Massage the scalp with coconut oil (with lemon) or almond oil. Vegetable and essential oil also contain nutrients for slowing the graying of hair.
