Natural Hair Dye in Hong Kong - Henna
Preparation:
Henna may be applied on wet or dry hair, but it is important that the hair be clean. Shampoo your hair and towel dry. Do not apply hair conditioner.
Prepare a plastic or glass bowl, ceramic/plastic/wooden spoon (avoid metallic spoon), boiling water, gloves and shower cap.
Directions:
Pour 100g Henna Powder ( 1 bag) into a glass or plastic bowl. Gradually add boiling water, coffee or tea to the Henna powder. Use a wooden or plastic spoon to mix thoroughly to a creamy soup-like consistency, (more liquid can be added if mixture is too thick).
Put on the gloves, use the finger tips to put the paste on the hair. Use a wet towel to clean the paste on the face and neck, otherwise the skin will be colored. Put on the shower cap.
Rinse the hair with water after 1 hour. Please do not use shampoo.
To help all colors hold on grey hair, add 1-2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to Henna mixture.
