How to dye your hair with coffee?

Coffee is not only a wonderful invigorating drink, but also a great way to color paper, fabrics and even hair! Even in ancient times, when colors were either not available, or they were not available for ordinary girls, it was used to make hair several shades darker. Nowadays most people find this coloring method funny. But there are also those who choose natural and healthy hair. In this regard, natural coffee is clearly ahead of any chemical dyes.

It is very easy to dye your hair with coffee if you know how to work with this unusual dye. To obtain the desired result, it is necessary not only to choose the right type of coffee, but also to brew it correctly. After that, you can start the staining process.

So, for example, painting is best done using only natural coffee. It is desirable that it be freshly ground at the same time. Only in this case the given drink will be able to "give" its maximum color.

When deciding to dye your hair with a product like coffee, you need to first study the advice of those who have already used it. This will help keep your hair from ruining.

Almost all dosages in the proposed recipes are calculated for medium-length curls, so they must be "adjusted" to fit your hair yourself - either by increasing or decreasing the amount of coffee.

Since such staining does not give a very lasting result, it is recommended to do it almost every time before washing your hair. In this case, the hair color will become richer and more beautiful each time.

If the coffee mixture turns out to be too thick, then it must first be rubbed into the roots and only then distributed throughout the hair. If the mixture is very liquid, then you just need to rinse your hair with it.

Do not wet your hair before applying the coffee blend. In this case, the color will not fit so well. To achieve maximum results, the coffee "paint" can be kept on the head for up to two hours. It is completely harmless, so the hair will remain healthy after such a long procedure.

And in order to remove the coffee smell, you can rinse your head with water and your favorite essential oils. The main thing is to add just a few drops to the liquid so that the smell is not too persistent. In addition, sometimes after such staining, a sticky feeling appears. Therefore, experts recommend adding a little hair conditioner to the prepared mixture.

In addition, do not forget that you can only use natural coffee and never powder. If the house does not have a coffee grinder, then it is worth buying ground coffee. True, the color in this case will not be so bright.

Summing up, we can say that coffee can be used not only for its “intended purpose”. It is perfectly possible to enjoy a cup of natural, freshly brewed drink, and then turn the leftover grounds into a coloring agent.
