2-Ingredient Remedy to Darken Gray Hair Naturally

Ingredients:

  • Peels from 4–5 medium potatoes (preferably brown or red potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons apricot kernel oil (or use coconut or olive oil if unavailable)

🔧 Instructions:

  1. Boil the Potato Peels:
    • Add the potato peels to 2 cups of water.
    • Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15–20 minutes.
    • Let it cool completely.
    • Strain the liquid into a bowl. This will be your potato peel rinse.
  2. Add Apricot Oil:
    • Once the potato peel water cools, add 2 tablespoons of apricot kernel oil.
    • Mix well (you can shake it in a spray bottle).
  3. Apply to Hair:
    • Wash your hair as usual, towel dry it lightly.
    • Massage the potato peel + oil mixture into your scalp and through your hair, focusing on gray areas.
    • Do not rinse out. Let it air dry.
  4. Frequency:
    • Use 3–4 times per week for noticeable results in a few weeks.
    • This is a gradual, natural darkening remedy, not a one-time dye.

💡 How It Works:

  • Potato peels are rich in starch and natural pigments that can help darken gray strands gradually.
  • Apricot oil nourishes the scalp, strengthens follicles, and adds shine to hair.
