Enriching your hair colour using mehendi
Here are a few pointers to help you colour gray hair the right way. First of all always use Mehendi of a good quality.
Soak mehendi overnight in an iron vessel and then use it the other day.
If you do not want to colour your hair and only want to use it as a conditioner, then oil your hair before applying it and leave it on only for an hour or so.
If you wish to give your hair a reddish tinge, add ‘katha’ to it. Or boil and add grated beet.
If you want a bronze effect, add coffee powder to mehendi. You can also add oil to the mehendi paste.
For jet black hair, soak Amla overnight and then add this to the mehendi paste and keep this overnight in an iron vessel. Apply it the next day.
Wrap a cloth around your shoulders and use gloves to apply mehendi in order to avoid soiling your clothes. Take care that mehendi does not touch your ears or face, or else the colour won’t go for some days.
For best results, do not shampoo your hair after applying mehendi. Rinse your hair with plain water.
