Firstly it is very important you select a good brand of henna.
The henna should be olive green in color and smell nice. If the henna is light green or grey in color please refrain from buying them. Its best you buy from  an authentic ayurvedic shop. I buy from Ayurvedic shop .

Method:
Add henna and mix it with your finger tips or you can take a spoon.
Keep mixing until there are no lumps.
Now add the instant coffee powder.
Add egg  mix it well.
Now add Lime juice to the mixture to enhance the color.Lime  helps in giving highlights to grey hair.
However too much usage of lime may grey you hair so use curd instead of lime juice. Mix everything with a spoon.

I usually apply oil to my hair for about 1 hour. Post that I apply henna to my hair. I have curly dry hair hence prefer applying oil and than putting henna to my hair.
You can cover your head with a hot damp cloth after you apply henna. This will help in enriching henna color. Also apply a little oil to your forehead and skin areas near your scalp. This will help your skin not to get dried up once henna is dried on your head.

Henna mixture an application is a tedious and time consuming process. But the results are amazing. Keep this Henna Pack for about 2 to 3 hours. First rinse your hair properly and try to remove the henna with plain water. Now you can use a mild shampoo and wash your hair gently.

After shampooing your hair you can use a conditioner for colored hair or just shampoo you hair. Pat dried towel on your head and rub it gently else your hair might break. So be kind and gentle to your hair. Don’t rinse your hair twice with shampoo as this might result in henna color loss


Also note henna color will darken on your hair the next day post application. Its miraculous darkening is after 1 day because its mother nature right!
