How to dye hair with Henna

Items needed:

1. 1/4 cup of henna powder
2. 1/4 cup of lemon juice
3. plastic conditioning cap (or grocery store bag)

Instructions:

Mix henna powder with lemon juice until it is a "goopy" paste. It will have the consistency of mashed potatoes.

Part clean hair into three or four large sections.

Apply henna to each section. Hair should be saturated with the paste.

Cover hair with cap and leave on for several hours.

Rinse henna out and condition the hair.

Unless your hair is very light, you will not notice a drastic change. Henna lightens the hair color over time. Repeated henna treatments will change the hair to a more noticeable reddish hue.
