Henna Hair Masks: Grey hair is a common concern as they naturally appear with age. However, premature greying can also occur due to our poor lifestyle choices. Fortunately, henna has been used for centuries as a natural hair dye. Rich in natural properties, henna is a highly effective alternative to synthetic dyes. It not only colours but also strengthens and adds natural shine to the hair.
Its natural nutrients deeply nourish the hair, fostering strong, resilient and vibrant locks that radiate health and vitality. Here are four simple and effective henna hair masks that you can easily prepare at home to cover all your grey hair, add shine and strengthen your tresses.
Henna Hair Masks
Henna, Lemon And Coffee
A natural hair mask to cover greys can be made by mixing henna with lemon juice and brewed coffee. Combine 1 cup henna powder, 1/2 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup brewed coffee. Apply the paste all over your hair, especially from roots to ends and leave it on for nearly two hours. Rinse with warm water for vibrant and grey-covered locks.
Henna And Aloe Vera
Combine henna and aloe vera effectively to cover your greys. To prepare this hair mask, mix 1 cup henna powder with 1/2 cup aloe vera gel. Apply the paste nicely while covering all your grey hair.
