Hair coloring with henna
August 1st, 2008 · No Comments
We know very well that to keep hair healthy and beautiful a well balanced diet and exercise are necessary. If proper care is not given then one can suffer from various problems of hair like graying, dry and dull hair, hair loss etc.
To overcome these problems it is necessary to take care of hair. For this purpose henna is the best alternate. The powdered leaves of henna are applied as a thick paste to clean and dry or towel-dried hair. The paste of the henna should be neither too thick not too thin. For coarse, curly, or gray hair, a second application or double process of henna may be necessary. First use plain henna paste and after five minutes rinse it off. Then reapply the henna (plus any add-ins you desire), wait at least an hour, and rinse again.
How much henna is necessary for hair?
It depends upon the length of your hair. Like 2-3 ounces (60-90 g) for short, fine hair; 3-5 ounces (90-150 g) for medium length hair; 5-8 ounces (150-240 g) for long hair. To make a paste boiled or distilled water, cooled to a warm temperature is required. Mix the henna powder with enough warm water to form the consistency of chocolate pudding.
Clip back the hair and apply cream or oil around the perimeter of your face including the tops of your ears and back of your neck. This would avoid tinting the skin around your hairline. A thin roll of cotton over this cream can also work. If then also you drip henna on your skin, immediately wash with a bit of shampoo or lemon juice.
Apply this paste to the roots of your hair using a brush or your fingers. Cover your hair with a shower cap or with an old towel or scarf. Now allow the henna to saturate your hair from anywhere from 2 to 24 hours (depending on the intensity of the color you want). If you want dark color in short time then sit in the sun for 30m minutes!
After keeping for the required time, rinse the henna paste until the water runs clear. Do not immediately use shampoo and let the hair dry naturally. When your hair is dry, shampoo with an acidic pH shampoo. Let it towel-dry, and then massage a small amount of coconut oil into your hair.
WARNING!
Try to avoid using metal bowls or utensils for mixing the henna, as they can react with the natural chemicals present in the henna.
TIPS
If you want dark color then you can add cinnamon, nutmeg, Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, Egg yolk or whole egg, Cloves, Cognac, Tea, Coffee and Olive Oil henna.
