How To Cover Gray Hair Naturally At Home

1. Amla And Henna Pack
Amla and henna work together to dye your hair naturally. Also, they’re excellent ingredients for providing your hair with moisture and nourishment.



You Need:

• 1 cup Fresh Henna Paste
• 3 tsp Amla Powder
• 1 tsp Coffee Powder
• Gloves
• An Applicator Brush

1. In a plastic bowl, combine all the ingredients until you get a smooth, consistent paste. You can add some water if you think the paste is too thick.
2. Put your gloves on and apply the mixture onto your hair using the applicator brush. Be sure that you cover all the gray parts.
3. Leave it in for an hour or until the paste dries up.

Rinse the hair pack out with a mild sulfate-free shampoo.

2. Black Coffee
Coffee isn’t a permanent solution for gray hair. However, with regular use, them can stain your hair to a dark brown color and mask all of your grays.

All you need to do is

1. Mix 1 cup of strong coffee or espresso with half a cup of a vitamin-E rich conditioner, like almond oil or olive oil and 2 more tablespoons of coffee grounds. 
2. Apply this mixture to hair that has already been washed and dried. 
3. Allow the mixture to sit for one hour before rinsing it out. 
4. We recommend you wash it out with apple cider vinegar, as this will protect the colour and make them last longer. 

The process can be repeated once a week to allow more colour to be deposited on the greys.

3. Henna Remedy
Henna are a natural dye that too possesses antifungal and antibacterial properties. Not only does it darken your hair, but them also restores the pH balance of the scalp and normalizes oil production.To make henna hair dye you need:

• 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt for conditioning
• 1 tablespoon of crushed amla powder or crushed hibiscus powder

1. Mix all of the ingredients in a container made of iron, cover and let it sit for 2 hours. 
2. Apply the mixture all over your hair with a brush (make sure to wear gloves since henna will stain anything them comes in contact with!).
3. Cover your head with a shower cap and allow the henna to sit for 6 hours, or until it begins to flake, then wash your hair as you normally would. 
4. Henna usually will turn your hair a copper or vermillion color. It’s important to note that once you’ve used Henna on your hair, you can no longer use permanent hair dye, so if you don’t like the way the color turns out you may not have a whole lot of other options. 
5. Henna hair dye will last usually 8-12 weeks, which coincides with natural growth.
