4. Lentils. Lentils are full of vitamin B-9, also known as folic acid. Like B-12, a deficiency in vitamin B- 9 can lead to prematurely grey hair because it is an important component of methionine. Methionine, an amino acid, blocks natural damage to the hair cells that can lead to a loss of hair color.
When dealing with hair loss, you can apply coconut oil infused with Indian gooseberry, or amla, to encourage hair growth. It will help greatly with premature graying as well. Heat some coconut oil in a pan and cook dried amla pieces in it until they are charred. Strain and cool the oil.
