Is it appropriate for people with brown or blond hair in order to reverse the gray hairs? I read in an article that coconut oil makes the hairs black. Does it change the colour from brown / blond into black?
If your hair is originally brown or blond, and you have some gray hairs, then there is a bit of chance to reverse those gray hairs. But you cannot reverse it to black, because, the original color of your hair is brown or blond. To make Coconut Oil more powerful in reversing gray hair, you need to consume vitamin rich foods. You can pay more attention to Vitamin B-12 rich foods. Also try to apply onion juice once/twice a week.
