Tips for a Perfect Henna Powder Application to Cover Gray Hair

Achieving beautiful gray coverage with henna is simple and rewarding when done with care. Follow these steps to ensure vibrant, natural-looking color while keeping your hair healthy and nourished.


1️⃣ Prepare Your Henna Mixture

✔ Divide your hair into sections for easier application.
✔ Mix the henna powder with warm water (around 70–80°C) until the consistency is smooth and lump-free.


2️⃣ Apply the Henna

✔ Using an applicator brush, apply the mixture generously to damp hair, working from roots to ends to ensure full coverage.
✔ Avoid combing through the hair during application, as this can remove product and affect results.


3️⃣ Processing Time

✔ Leave the henna on for the recommended time based on the color chart provided with your product.
If you'd like, you can cover your hair with a reusable shower cap or wrap to help retain warmth and moisture during processing.


4️⃣ Rinse & Condition

✔ Rinse thoroughly with water only—no shampoo—until the water runs clear.
✔ Follow with Surya Brasil’s Color Fixation Conditioner for added softness and hydration, then rinse again.


5️⃣ Pro Tips for Best Results

💡 Wait 24 hours before shampooing to allow the color to fully develop and set.
💡 Always perform a patch test before coloring to check for skin sensitivity.
💡 Avoid using a comb during application to allow the color to deposit evenly across the hair.


With these simple tips, you can confidently achieve flawless gray coverage and radiant, plant-based color. Henna not only beautifies your hair—it nourishes it from root to tip for long-lasting shine and strength. 💚✨
