Ingredients and tools you need :
- Organic coffee
- Jar to brew the coffee
- Small bowl or plate to mix your conditioner and coffee
- Brush to apply the hair dye
- Old t-shirt to prevent coffee stains
- Conditioner(can be replaced with coconut oil)
- Measuring cup and spoon.
Here’s the step-by-step guide on how to make a coffee hair dye at home.
Step 1: Get 2 cups of organic coffee and add 1-2 cups of warm water (the quantity of coffee and water depends on the length and thickness of your hair).
Step 2: Add two tablespoons of conditioner into your mixing bowl, pour one or one and a half cup of your brewed coffee into the same bowl (depending on hair length and thickness), and mix everything.
Make sure you cover your body with an old t-shirt or towel to prevent unnecessary stains.
Step 3:Â Apply the mixture to your hair, cover it with a shower cap, and let it sit for at least 1 hour.
After that, rinse your hair with clean water, then add conditioner to the hair. That’s all.
Is Coffee Hair Dye Safe to Use?
Coffee hair dye is 99% damage-free and very safe for use; that’s one of the main benefits. Because it is natural, there is no side effect of chemical ingredients.
But if you are allergic to coffee, I will suggest you stay far away from this method.
While researching this coffee topic, I also discovered that coffee could restore and promote hair growth aside from coloring hair. This will be good news for people who want to try out something new to improve their hair growth.
Coffee Hair Dye vs. Henna: Which is Best to Color Hair?
Comparing coffee hair dye and henna hair dye is like comparing a cat to a lion. Henna is by far better than coffee hair dye. The only aspect that I see that coffee is better than henna is the preparation. The henna recipe is tricky, while the coffee hair dye recipe is simple and straight.
Before and After Results
I took a screenshot of before and after the result of someone who tried using coffee to dye white hair. Maybe if I try it out someday, then I will replace the picture with my results.
Conclusion
There are lots of better natural alternatives to dye your hair. If I want to try something with coffee on my mom’s hair, it will be for hair growth purposes and nothing else.
I was watching a tutorial on YouTube, instead of the tutor applying the mixture on his hair, he or she used it on his hands. I was like, what is this guy/lady trying to tell me. Lol, this is the kind of people that will tell you that coffee can turn your gray hair into black.
