HOME MADE HENNA DYE Ingredients: Henna powder as per your need Lemon juice Curds – 1-2 tbsp Coffee-powder- 1tsp (optional) Tea leaves – 1 tsp Amla (gooseberry) powder – 2 tsp Mustard oil – ½ tsp Cloves (optional) Method: Soak amla powder in half a cup of water overnight. Boil 1 tsp tea leaves in 2 tbsp water. Sieve it and allow it to cool. Keep this aside. Now take henna powder, around 4-5 tbsp if you want to apply it only around the area which has gray hair and more if you want to apply to your entire scalp. Make a thin paste of henna powder by adding juice of lemon, a tbsp of curd, a tsp of coffee powder (optional), the water of tea leaves and amla mixture which you prepared earlier. Add ½ tsp of mustard oil in this mixture to avoid dryness. Leave this mixture in an iron vessel for about 2 hours. During winter season you add a finely grounded paste of 2 cloves to elude cold. Apply the mixture on the hair carefully, cover gray hair completely. Leave this on for about 3-4 hours. (Some prefer to keep it overnight.) Then rinse off with water. After your hair has dried, apply any hair oil. Wash your hair the next day with a mild shampoo. Your hair will gain a natural shining red-brown color. Do this after every 15-20 days but in winter do this once in a month only. Remember: See to it that your hair is oil-free prior to the application of henna paste.
