Here are the tips she had suggested for healthy hair and stopping it from premature greying-
Take sufficient antoxidants in natural form as in vegetable and fruit juices and in the synthetic form by taking supplements
Increase your protein intake as it gives hair a natural shine and good texture
Take care of your scalp and include dark green vegetables, oranges, yellow fruits and vegetables in your diet and also consume food rich in minerals like zinc, iron and copper
Avoid food items that are loaded with artificial colours and preservatives as it only cause fast premature greying of hair but puts a strain on digestive system too
Try to add some natural nourishing hair masks for your haircare routine and stay away from commercially processed hair dyes
Use gentle haircare products on your hair that are devoid of harsh chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate
Massage your hair with your fingertips as it helps in proper blood circulation in the scalp
