Hair is how to color your hair with henna. Henna must be applied to a clean, dry hair.
- Apply Vaseline or almond oil to your forehead, around the hair line and ears in order to prevent staining your skin.
- Put the henna powder in a bowl and add lemon juice or water. Mix the ingredients until you get a smooth paste.
- Divide your hair into several sections.
- Begin with the bottom layers of your hair and gradually work your way up. Be sure to apply the paste evenly.
- Wrap your hair in a towel and wait. How long you should wait depends on your natural hair color. If you have dark hair you should wait for two to three hours. If you have lighter hair you will need to wait four to eight hours.
- Rinse your hair until the water is completely clear. Don’t use hot water but lukewarm water; don’t shampoo as well.
Remember henna is permanent and you cannot dye over it.
