Use this home remedy to get your ideal auburn shade.

If you have red hair and are looking for auburn hair, then this blog post is for you! You’re in luck because there’s a home remedy that can give you the perfect shade of auburn hair.

All you need is:

• 1/2 cup of strong coffee (French roast or espresso)
• 2 teaspoons of henna powder

Prep your hair first.

Before you start the process, you’ll want to make sure your hair is washed and completely dry. If you have time, let it air-dry for a few hours first. This will help speed up the coloring process later on when we apply heat.

Next, detangle your hair using a wide-tooth comb or brush if necessary. Then put on some type of protective covering for your head and face (just in case!). I recommend using an old t-shirt or towel because this will help keep everything off of your skin while also keeping strands from getting stuck between your teeth (which happened to me once!).

Pick a good henna powder.

If you want to get auburn hair, then the quality of henna powder matters. Don’t use synthetic henna.

Use 100% natural henna powder that is dark greenish-brown in colour and finely ground.

Henna comes in different shades, so find the one you want!

Apply the henna to your hair.

• Apply the henna to your hair.
• Use a henna applicator bottle, and apply the henna in sections on top of your head.
• Cover your hair with a plastic or paper bag so that it doesn’t come out of the applicator bottle before you have time to apply it all over your head.
• Leave on for at least 4 hours or up to overnight (12-16 hours). Henna will stain skin and fabrics so work carefully!
• Don’t forget about those ends! If you have long hair, make sure you get the henna to all lengths so that they won’t look lighter than any other part of your head!

Wait for the recommended time.

You’ll want to follow the directions that come with your hair dye. Some brands suggest waiting for 15 minutes, while others will recommend as long as an hour or even two hours. For your first attempt at a homemade dye job, it’s best to follow the instructions on the box and just wait for them to say when you’re done.

After you’ve left your hair color sitting on its own for [X] amount of time, rinse it out thoroughly before getting into bed and going about your night like normal—or go out on the town! If you have friends coming over or are going out with someone special, this is a great opportunity to show off your new look!

Rinse it out and style.

• Rinse out henna with cold water.
• Style your hair as usual.
• Try to avoid the sun for a few days, especially if you’re using henna for colour rather than conditioning purposes.
• Make sure to wear old clothes when applying henna; it can stain everything, including skin and clothes.

Do it once a month for upkeep.

If you want your auburn colour to last, you need to reapply the dye every month or so. Don’t worry—it’s a quick process! You can do it yourself at home or have your stylist do it for you.

How long each application should last depends on the colour of your hair and what shade of red it is. If you’ve got light hair, keep in mind that darker shades tend to fade faster than lighter ones—so if this is the case for you, consider doing an upkeep treatment every two weeks instead of once per month.

If auburn dye gets on skin instead of being washed off immediately with soap and water (or another cleanser), then there may be some swelling or discolouration that occurs over time—but as long as we don’t see any signs like these after 24 hours then we should be fine! Just remember not only that but also how important prevention is here: before applying any kind of dye onto our body parts make sure they’re clean first!

With this easy remedy, you can get auburn hair in the comfort of your own home.
