Question : I am 24 yr old male. My hair start turning while from early age( when I was ~16-17 yrs old). Is there any way to blacked the greyed hair without colouring.

I hear eating amla or applying amla oil blackens the hair , is it correct? If yes could you suggest some amla or any other food products I should consume?

As this is a genetic problem , eating amla or other stuff won't actually effect it, right?
Just confirming.
