Cover Gray Hair

by Brenda

July 2007

Hi Joy,
When I used the henna, I put about 3-4 teaspoons in a little water and simmered it just a little. After this I let it cool down and smeared it all over my wet hair, left it on for an hour or two (went outside), and then rinsed it out. I washed my hair with shampoo the next day. The henna covered my gray strands (I do not use hair coloring because gray hair is a crown of glory as our sons quote from the Bible), so this was surprising along with my hair looking healthier. I am not sure how often you need to do this so let me know if you hear from others' suggestions.

Thank you and my God bless us in helping each other stay healthy.
Brenda

Hi Brenda,
You didn't really say what color the gray hair turned after your henna treatment or what color is your natural color? I have very dark hair with really white (gray) strands throughout. Just wondered if turns a flaming orange color or what?
Thanks,
Suz

    I have light ash brown/blond hair with quite a bit of grey now. I used straight henna, in lemon juice per hennaforhair.com, in December 2009. I've since touched up the roots twice (July '09). Yes, the grey hair turned a "flaming orange" at first, and then "mellowed" a bit to blend in with the red that the rest of the hair is. I recommend checking out the site I mentioned before doing your hair w/ straight henna. You might be happier with a henna-indigo blend.
