Home Remedies To Tackle Premature Grey & White Hair In Kids

White or grey hair for an adult is acceptable but if our child’s hair starts greying it is a matter of concern. Not only the child may become conscious of his/her premature greying but may also start losing his/her confidence, as it is about self-image. So what could a parent do? Precaution and awareness is the key here. But the question is how does a parent watch out for premature greying in their child? There are some home remedies that help in reducing premature greying in children.

# Curry Leaves

Curry leaves are known to be one of the best home remedies to cure premature greying in children. Heat the hair oil in a pan and add curry leaves to it.
