How to use coffee to dye your hair

Have you ever thought of using coffee as a natural hair dye? Well, coffee  has been used as a hair dye and treatment for a long time.   Natural ground coffee is an excellent natural tool to darken hair. With the help of coffee, dark hair can acquire a beautiful healthy glow and even naturally dye your hair. At least once in your life, you’ve probably dyed your hair. I personally do it every 3 months. And let’s be honest, most natural store bought  hair dyes(like this one)  can be quite pricey and sometimes they don’t work as well. So, why not make your own dyes using only natural ingredients such as coffee?

Using Coffee to Improve your hair health

Natural methods of coloring sometimes don’t give a long lasting result (like these conventional ones), but at least they do not damage the hair and can even strengthen it. According to the National Cancer Institute there are over 5000 different chemicals used in conventional hair dyes, many of which are considered carcinogenic. Coffee is an absolutely natural product, which possesses beneficial properties.

Using this easy natural coffee mixture, you will get the desired shine, shade, and even promote hair growth. According to a study published in the January 2007 issue of the International Journal of Dermatology, coffee indeed helps with hair growth.

How to use coffee to dye your hair

• Make really strong organic coffee ( I use this one) , preferably espresso.  Non organic coffee most likely contains some added chemicals. 

• Let your coffee cool down.  

• Mix 2 cups of leave in all natural conditioner with 2 tbsp. of organic coffee grounds and 1 cup of  cold brewed coffee.

• Apply the mixture onto your hair and leave it in for about an hour.   It will give your hair a beautiful chocolate color without any damage.
