What You’ll Need
Before you begin, gather the following items:
- Neutral henna powder
- Warm water
- Plastic bowl
- Stirring spoon
- Shower cap
- Wide-toothed comb
- Old towel or cape
Step 1: Prepare the Henna Mixture
Measure the desired amount of neutral henna powder into a plastic bowl. The amount will depend on your hair length and thickness. Slowly add warm water while stirring continuously until you achieve a thick paste-like consistency. Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.
Step 2: Section and Dampen Your Hair
Using the wide-toothed comb, carefully divide your hair into manageable sections. Dampen each section with water to make the application process easier and more even.
Step 3: Apply the Henna Paste
Take a small amount of the henna paste and apply it to one section of your hair, starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends. Ensure that every strand is well-coated with the paste. Continue with the remaining sections until your entire hair is covered.
Step 4: Massage and Comb the Hair
Gently massage the henna paste into your scalp using your fingertips to stimulate blood circulation and promote hair growth. Then, using a wide-toothed comb, comb through your hair to ensure even distribution of the henna paste.
Step 5: Wrap Your Hair
Once your hair is fully coated with the henna paste, gather it at the top of your head and cover it with a shower cap. This will create a warm environment for the henna to work its magic. You can also wrap an old towel or cape around your shoulders to protect your clothing.
Step 6: Wait and Rinse
Allow the neutral henna to sit in your hair for at least 2-4 hours to fully penetrate and condition your strands. You can use this time to relax, read a book, or catch up on your favorite TV series. Once the waiting time is up, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
Step 7: Style as Desired
After rinsing, gently towel dry your hair and style it as you normally would. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in the overall texture, shine, and manageability of your hair. Feel free to use your favorite styling products or leave it natural.
Neutral henna treatments are safe to use regularly, so you can make it part of your hair care routine. Enjoy the benefits of beautifully conditioned hair without any color alterations!
That’s it! Follow these simple steps to apply neutral henna on your hair and experience the wonders it can do. Your hair will thank you for it!
