Have you ever run your hands through your hair and found one or two white hairs on your finger? Believe me, this very moment creates slight panic in many people. Earlier people used to start seeing gray hair at the age of 40–45, but now the problem of premature gray hair is increasing rapidly even among the youth of 18–25 years. Due to poor lifestyle, stress, hormonal changes and lack of nutrition, melanin in the hair starts decreasing and white hair starts appearing.

In such a situation, people try everything from chemical hair colors and expensive treatments to grandmothers’ home remedies. But the method which is most discussed these days is natural shampoo made from onion peels. People have even started calling it a home panacea for gray hair, because its most important thing is that it not only blackens white hair but also improves the health of the hair roots.
