DIY Henna Oil For Stronger Naturally Dark Hair

Henna is a powerful natural hair conditioner. It coats the hair shaft, creating a protective layer that strengthens strands, prevents breakage, and adds shine. While it naturally imparts a reddish-brown colour, a henna oil infusion won't dye your hair as strongly as a henna hair pack. Instead, it works subtly to enhance natural dark tones.

DIY Henna Oil For Stronger Naturally Dark Hair

Want to make your hair naturally strong at home? Look no further! Here is a simple and quick DIY henna oil for naturally stronger and darker hair. 

Ingredients

• One cup of coconut oil
• 2-3 tablespoons of henna powder
• One tablespoon of amla powder
• A few curry leaves

Benefits Of Ingredients 

Coconut oil is known for its ability to penetrate the hair shaft, providing deep moisture and reducing protein loss. Whereas, amla powder, also known as indian gooseberry, is a rich source of vitamin C and antioxidants. When used with henna, it helps to create and maintain a deeper, darker, and more natural-looking shade.

Procedure 

• In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat coconut oil on a very low flame. Once the oil is slightly warm, add the henna powder, amla powder and curry leaves.
• Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally. You'll notice the oil's colour changing to a darker, brownish-green hue. Turn off the heat and let the oil cool down completely. 

• Once it has reached room temperature, strain the mixture using a muslin cloth into a clean and dry bottle. Store your homemade henna oil in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency.
• For best results, use this henna oil 2-3 times a week to see the visible changes on your hair.
