Henna Hair Coloring – Natural Dye – Instructions for Use

Henna is a safe, natural way to color your hair and is an excellent alternative to chemical hair dyes. Henna does take preparation and time, but you will soon see how effective it is and the preparation and application will be second nature after a few times. I’ve been using Henna to color my hair for almost 2 years now. I’ve tried many different brands and many different preparation methods. The below product and process works the best for me. For those of you new to dyeing your hair, I highly recommend testing a strand of your hair with any new henna product you try. Different henna blends react differently with different hair colors and different nuances of each person’s hair. Testing will allow you to be sure you are happy with the color before you apply to all of your hair.

What you need:

1.  Henna mixture (I highly recommend Godrej Nupur Mehendi Powder 9 Herbs Blend)
2.  Glass bowl
3.  Plastic mixing spoon
4.  Lemon juice
5.  1 Egg
6.  1 tbs Olive oil
7.  Water or tea
8.  Plastic wrap
9.  Shower cap
10. Disposable gloves
11. Paper towels

Preparation:

1.  Pour henna powder into glass bowl
2.  Heat up 8oz of lemon juice (not boiling)
3.  Slowly pour lemon juice into the bowl with the henna powder.
4.  Using a plastic spoon, mix while pouring.
5.  Add one egg and 1 tablespoon of olive oil
6.  Add warm water (or tea) until the mixture is like thick yogurt.
7.  If this is your first time – take a strand of your hair and immerse it in the henna mixture.  This is so you can test the color to make sure it is agreeable to you before you do your whole head.
8.  Cover with plastic wrap and put in warm location

Convenience – In terms of accessibility levitra 10 mg http://djpaulkom.tv/category/videos/page/2/ and ease of use. Let mixture sit for 3 hours.  This is necessary to allow the henna to release the color  (Check your test hair if is your first time.  Otherwise, continue to next section.)

Application (it’s supposed to be a little messy.  Keep henna off your skin as much as possible):

1.  Shower and wash hair — do not use conditioner
2.  Dry hair only slightly — hair needs to be damp when henna is applied.  (Make sure hair is not dripping otherwise you’ll have a big mess)
3.  Put on dark colored t-shirt or anything you don’t mind getting stained
4.  Get plastic wrap, shower cap and disposible gloves and put them close by
5.  Thoroughly mix and make sure henna mixture is like thick yogurt or mashed potatoes.  (Be careful not to add too much water….again, you’ll have a big mess)
6.  Put gloves on and place henna mixture on hair – go section by section to ensure henna is completely covering your hair.
7.  Use paper towels to wipe henna off your face (forehead, ear, back of neck, etc)  **This is very important…henna will stain your skin.  It’s NOT harmful at all but you don’t want a blotchy face)
8.  Use plastic wrap and wrap it all around your head.  Use several sections of wrap to ensure there is no exposed hair.
9. Put on shower cap

Leave on your hair for 2-4 hours.  The longer you leave the henna in, the deeper the red will be.

Cleanup and aftermath:

1.  Go to utility room and rinse hair.  Henna is VERY gritty and it will take time rinse out.
2.  Rinse until water runs clear (ish)
3.  Do NOT shampoo.  Use a generous amount of hair conditioner and then rinse thoroughly.
4.  You’re done!
5.  Do not shampoo for at least 2-3 days.  Color will get darker over the next few days.
6.  If you have light color pillow cases, use dark-colored ones for at least a week.
7.  The strong grassy, earthy smell is normal….it goes away after a few hair washings.
