Turn White Hair to Black Naturally with Coffee and Indigo Powder
Instructions:
Prepare the Dye Mixture:
- Place the instant coffee grounds in a heat-resistant bowl or dish.
- Pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds and stir until completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool down a bit.
- Once cooled, add the indigo powder (and salt, if using) to the coffee mixture.
- Mix everything together thoroughly until you get a smooth and uniform paste-like consistency.
Application:
- Ensure your hair is clean and dry before applying the mixture.
- Wear gloves to avoid staining your hands and use a hair coloring brush for even application.
- Divide your hair into sections and apply the paste from roots to ends, ensuring every strand is well-coated.
Let it Sit Overnight:
- Cover your hair with a shower cap to prevent staining your bedding.
- Leave the mixture on your hair overnight to allow the dye to develop and penetrate the hair shaft.
Rinse and Wash:
- The next morning, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
- Optionally, wait a few minutes before shampooing your hair to help set the dye.
Maintenance:
- For darker results or to cover more gray hair, you may need to repeat the application.
- Regular use of this natural dye can help maintain and enhance the color.
Additional Tips:
- Perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Wear old clothing or use towels you don’t mind staining, as indigo may leave marks on fabric.
