Some Natural Remedies for White Hair

Some may go as far trying natural remedies to prevent turning white; sadly, this is not possible as there is no scientific way to prevent pigment loss in the hair. When a strand of hair grows out of our skull, pigments are infused into the hair giving them the black or colored shade. With age, the amount of infusion decreases the strand loses the great color that it once enjoyed.
