I saw my first gray hair around 28 & going through a LOT of stress. I got rid of the stress & the gray disappeared. Then the little buggers showed up again around 35–36 while stressed & again, once I got rid of the stress, POOF they were gone. They came & went all through my 40s. Then during my 50s they showed up again but didn’t leave!!!
Actually, IF I had to have gray hair, it was a pretty shade of gray (actually more silver) & I had more of a salt & pepper mix that got me a lot of compliments. Then my hair began to fall out & was getting fairly thin. I preferred gray hair to NO hair so I did my research. About the same time I had become interested in Essential Oils & in my learning about them, I kept reading that Spanish Rosermary EO would help stop the loss of hair. Mine had gotten so thin that I was considering one of those hair loss restoration places but the cost was prohibitive.Instead, I bought a $6.00 bottle of the Rosemary EO & began adding a couple drops to my shampoo every time I did my hair. My hair STOPPED falling out & as a side benefit, my gray begin to darken too!!! Now, when you’re standing next to me in the sunlight you can see what would have been gray before but it is more of a light brown now where my hair is still a dark brown. IF you didn’t know tha t I had gray darkening, you might not even notice the difference.
I have also read that if you’ll take a ¼ cup of Organic Coconut Oil & add 3 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice, mix them together. rub them into the scalp, leave on for 1 hour, rinse well & then shampoo thoroughly. Do it once a week until you’ve reached your desired results. This is supposed to return your gray to your natural hair color no matter whether you’re brown, black, red,or blonde. Since my Rosemary is doing about the same thing, & I don’t regularly have an hour to give, I’ve not tried this natural remedy. However,IF I hadn’t tried the Rosemary, I’d be all over trying this one thinking that I had nothing to lose!!! Just saying.
