Change gray hair to black using coffee and indigo powder in a natural way

 

Using coffee and indigo powder is a natural way to darken gray hair, though the results are temporary and require regular application. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Coffee Dye Treatment

Coffee can darken hair slightly and add shine.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp ground coffee (organic if possible)
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps set the color)

Instructions:

1. Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool.
2. Mix it with a small amount of conditioner or use it alone.
3. Apply it to clean, damp hair, focusing on gray areas.
4. Leave it on for at least 30–60 minutes.
5. Rinse with cold water (avoid shampoo).

2. Indigo Powder for Deeper Black Color

Indigo powder is a natural dye that works best when used with henna.

Ingredients:

• 100g indigo powder (adjust based on hair length)
• Warm water (enough to make a paste)
• 1 tsp salt (helps intensify color)

Instructions:

1. Mix indigo powder with warm water to form a paste.
2. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to activate.
3. Apply it to dry or damp hair, covering grays thoroughly.
4. Wrap hair with a shower cap and leave it on for 1–2 hours.
5. Rinse with water (avoid shampoo for 48 hours).

For Best Results:

• If you have a lot of gray, use henna first, let it sit for a few hours, rinse, and then apply indigo. This gives a deeper black color.
• Repeat weekly for longer-lasting color.
• Avoid harsh shampoos, as they fade natural dyes quickly.
