Premature greying of hair is a very very common thing these days. It happens mostly because of our lifestyle, food intake, exposure to sun/pollution or may be hereditary. Whatever might be the reason, the simplest and the natural way to hide our grey hair is by colouring it with henna. This is the most natural, and cheapest way for hair colouring. We can prefer doing henna even when we do not have grey hairs, but we want that brownish ting in our hair or we want to condition our hair.
So here are some tips and tricks which you should follow while making the henna paste:
1. Always make the mixture of henna in an iron bowl to get the darkest brownish black colour;
2. Keep the henna soaked for 10-12 hours before applying;
3. Preferably Mix coffee powder with the henna as it brings out a darker shade and is also good for hair;
4. While making the paste use warm coffee water to make the paste, and keep it in a thicker consistency;
5. After keeping the paste for around 10-12 hours, mix egg white/curd to finish making the paste (this is because henna tends to dry our hair, which then becomes rough and brittle. Adding curd/egg white reduces the effect of dryness and also adds a shine to hair);
6. Do wash your hair with shampoo the day before you want to apply henna;
7. Do not shampoo your hair the day you apply henna, just wash with plain water;
8. Keep the paste for 1-1.5 hours if you want colour and 30-40 minutes if you want to condition your hair with henna.
Enjoy!!
