How To Use Henna To Get Rid Of Grey Hair?

Follow the steps that are mentioned below. The steps will teach you how to apply henna for grey hair the right way. They are easy to follow and do not need much effort either!

 

Step 1: Boil Black Tea Leaves

The first and most important thing you need to do is boil black tea leaves in water. Take a saucer and pour water into it. Turn the gas on and then drop the tea leaves into it. Let it boil and bubble for a while. Simmer it until the water becomes half. The water should be in proportion to the quantity of henna powder you use. Always use natural henna powder.

Step 2: Prepare A Henna Mask

The next thing you should do is to prepare a henna mask. Take some henna powder depending upon the intensity of grey hair. Then soak it in water for around 8 hours, preferably during the night. Once this is done, pour black tea into it along with some lemon juice. Mix it well. You should also add some amla powder to this mixture.

Step 3: Apply The Mask

Now, take that particular part of your grey hair. If it is an entire section, you can make a ponytail out of the other, so that they don’t stick to one another. Apply the mask with the help of a brush. Your fingers will also do the work. But choose something that is comfortable for you. Apply it all over your hair. See to it that you cover all your grey hair.

Step 4: Don’t Forget To Wait

You cannot wash your hair off right on that spot. You will have to wait for about 30 minutes. In the mean time, take a shower cap and cover your hair with it. Relax for a while now! 

Step 5: Wash It Off

Once 30 minutes have passed, you can wash your hair. Make sure you rinse it thoroughly to clean the mehndi. This might take up a little time. But you should be sure to wash your hair well. Cold water would do wonders. It will impart a healthy shine to your hair. You can also apply a good amount of conditioner to your hair wearing the gloves. Massage it well on the hair and wash it off. Repeat the washing process in case the hair is not washed properly at the first go.
