These homemade hair masks are your best option for darkening grey hair.

It can be difficult to maintain hair, as many factors affect it. Grey hair can begin in the 30s for most people. Hair fall and premature graying can be caused by stress and nutritional deficiencies.

You may see your hair turn greyer as you age. However, it is possible to prevent premature graying by living a healthy lifestyle. Some homemade hair products can help reduce the appearance of grey hair.

Health Shots interviewed Dr. Monica Kapoor (a celebrity cosmetologist who is also the director of FLAWLESS Cosmetic Clinics and ILACAD Institute) about effective grey hair products made from home ingredients.
