Pauravi D. asks:
I am 34 and having too much white hair in the front side. Can you guide me to prevent this premature greying and what can I do to hide this white hair, in spite of hair colour. I use Revlon, L’Oreal hair colours, but I don’t find them good enough and they fade away quickly. I want something herbal or natural. Can you help me?

Hi Pauravi,
For natural remedy mix together Amla,Shikakai and Henna with water and leave it in an iron kadhai overnight. Apply this mixture the next day and leave it on for about 1.5-2 hrs before you rinse it off. You may also add curd, lemon or coffee per your wish.
you can use herbal henna to cover your grey hair 🙂
HI Pauravi,
The only herbal thing I know for this purpose is Mehndi, along with additions such as amla powder, shikakai, etc.
My mom always had a situation when she needs to go out n her hair color has faded, especially the roots of hair lining the forehead (a result of washing face, which exposes these parts of hair to facewashes). I got her a product “Shahnaz Hussain Hair touch up” in black color. My mum-in-law uses this. It is a black stick that can be applied to hair to cover grey, and unlike kajal, it doesnt comes off easily whenever u touch your hair. My mum is quite luving this. I hope this solves some of your problem.
I just hope my comment doesnt vanish in moderation (fingers crossed)
Hi, I need advice from Rati, Jomol and otherz. I’m 24yr old, turning 25 soon. I never used any makeup or even sunscreen as my skin is terribly sensitive{I get red cheeks even if I smile stretching my lips fully!} and also my skin is acne-prone. My skin is normal to oily combination.{oily only over forehead and nose}. I have fair skin{like Rati’s}. I’m going to attend a friend’s wedding.
I’m looking for basic makeup-primer,concealer,foundation,loose powder(dunno if I should go for pressed or loose one?),eyeshadow,blush{nude colors}.
please advice brands which are less than 800 rupees.
I dont know how to post this in ask IMMB hence posting here. Please help me! Thanks in advance.

Shilpa rescued 🙂
mwah mwah :-* …luv you Jomol..Thanks for rescuing my posts. 🙂 Plz join me in your gang. Love this site n you ppl.
Shilpa….welcome aboard 🙂 I wil post this query tomorrow in the ask IMBB section 🙂 Waise, you have combination skin and you can get nice foundations, primer in Bourjois and Maybelline brands. For foundation, go for Lotus Herbals Purestay, Bourjois Healthy Mix, or Maybelline Mousse Liquid Foundation. For primer, I think Bourjois has one. Concealer also you can find several in Colorbar Cosmetics. Most of the options and brands I gave you cost around 800 to 1000 rupees 🙂
thank you so much Jomol 🙂 I read revies of lotus and felt its not that good.
I dunno if the bojouris and maybelline ones are non comedogenic and hypoallergic?
plz if possible advice a foundation and powder which is good for my sensitive n acne prone skin. also I sweat a lottttttt 🙁
sorry for so many queries,I’m totally new to these coametics but i wanna know atleast now so tht by the time of my marriage,I can atleast know how to look my best.
thanks again and luv you guys out here…mwah

hello pauravi well i am here to share some very and highly confidential hidden secret from ages u can prepare this oil at home all u need to have is pure virgin coconut oil and powder of bhiringraj,amla,henna and paste of aloevera now pour all the ingridients in the coconut oil and let it stay on the stove for 10min in sim and do repeat this heating process until all of them are settled down and the oil floats .and apply this oil to ur hair it works like wonder coz i also hav the same problem and started to notice difference after a few weeks trust me u will love it but plz have patience and try to take curry leaves raw daily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hope u r problem gets solved!!!!good luck
Wow….thanks Rekha….but I think you can prepare and keep this oil for a long time, more than a year.
Shilpa, you could ask to IMBB gang your query but I think you need to see a good dermatologist or homeopathic doctor to cure your skin first and for your make query there are numerous articles here at IMBB so just type key words like makeup for fair skin etc. hope this might help you 🙂
Sital….thumbs up 🙂
Hi Sital,thanks fir reply. I did visit dermatlogist. She gave medications for acne and im using clean n clear skin balancing moisturizer and it does seem working. but I need makeup advice as well. i read reviews about lotus purestay and itz more on negatve side. I need a foundation or powder that can hide the reddness (its not red actually but my cheeks r pink always as if i had used a blush.) actually I’m pinkish fair. hence asking this query. also I sweat like hell in day time n in hot weather.
yes jomol it stays for long u can store it a dark container preferably,to avoid sunlight coz it has aloevera and its very important u dont overheat it!!!!!!!!!
rekha…evn i hav same prob…wud lyk to knw….can we use how to make aleovera paste?
and whr to find birgriraj powder? also pls tell quatity of each?
jomol 🙂 🙂 you are so sweet 🙂
Pauravi, the concealer stick is a great idea.
I have seen people who were prematurely greying get better with a spoonful of chyawanprash daily. Eat a good company one daily(not the popular ones like Dabur, etc who add preservatives to make it last long but made by a good Vaidyashaala), with a glass of warm milk, UNLESS you have diabetes, have PCOS or are pregnant. You may consult a good Vaid for the same.
Greying happens with age and hereditary factors, so take it easy and don’t expect miracles and magic!
i also hv d same problem n i m 27 n u knw with mehndi it gives a weird orangeish colour bt now i vl try to add all d odr things u hv mentioned thanx:)
