One of the maladies of the modern lifestyle is premature greying of the hair. Those dreaded silver-white locks pop up in your early 20s or 30s. Greying of hair generally occurs when the body is not producing enough melamine.

But environmental factors like pollution, stress, diet, and lifestyle can also be the cause.

While dadima’s champi has long been associated with hair care and nourishment and this hair ritual has been passed on from older to newer generations. There’s a natural ingredient that can be found right in your kitchen (or garden) and can prove to be beneficial and that is Curry Leaves or Kaddi Patta in Hindi.

Curry leaves are full of Vitamin B and help in restoring the melamine pigment in the hair follicles and prevent further greying. It is also a rich source of Beta-Keratin and prevents hair breakage.
