Natural grey solutions: How coffee can save your hair and wallet

Want to eliminate grey strands without spending a fortune at the hairdresser? Here's a home trick that will save you from regular hair dyeing in the salon. All you need is a product from the kitchen.

Graying hair is a natural process that can affect people of different ages. The leading causes are genetic predispositions, stress, and lifestyle, including diet and substances. Although grey hair is normal, many people feel uncomfortable because of it.

That is why many women visit the hairdresser. Fortunately, nature offers solutions that can help hide grey hair, including coffee, which has long been known for its darkening properties.

To take advantage of the trick of darkening hair, use ground coffee. Just pour boiling water over a few teaspoons of coffee, then wait for the brew to cool. Then, apply it to washed hair, leave it for 20 minutes, and rinse thoroughly. Regular use will bring results after two weeks.

Another way to darken grey hair is to use a walnut shell rinse. To prepare this mixture, boil the shells in water. Usually, it takes about 30 minutes for the water to turn a dark brown colour. Once cooled, you get a ready preparation, which is best poured over hair directly after washing. Regularity is important!

It is worth noting, however, that more and more women are giving up dyeing their hair and accepting natural grey. An example is actress Andie MacDowell, who publicly flaunts her grey hair (even on the red carpet).
