Purchase henna. This is a natural herb that will not color your hair, but instead nourish it.

The first step is to purchase henna from a store. This is a natural product that will not color your hair, but instead nourish it. Henna is made from a herb and can be purchased at most health food stores or online. If you are using henna for the first time or want to be sure what kind of henna you are purchasing, ask the clerk who works there for assistance finding the right product for your needs.

Mix the henna with warm water and make a paste out of it. Let it sit for an hour before applying.

The first step to using henna for your hair is mixing it with warm water and letting it sit for an hour, which will give the dye time to release from the plant matter. You can mix 1 packet of powdered henna (typically about 1 ounce) with 2 cups of warm water in a small bowl or pot until you get a paste-like consistency. You don’t need to use just any old water; distilled and purified are best because they have no added chemicals that could interfere with your dye job.

Once you’ve gotten a good consistency and let the mixture sit for an hour, then you’re ready to apply!

Apply the henna to your hair (use gloves) in small sections and make sure every strand is coated.

Next you will want to apply the henna to your hair. If possible, do this in a well-ventilated area with plenty of room. Wear gloves and make sure that every strand is coated evenly as you’re working through your hair. You may find that if you have long or thick hair it helps for someone else to help apply the henna for you—someone who can section off small portions at a time and then smear each section with their fingers until every strand has been coated evenly.

After applying all of the henna on your head (it is best not to cover it up), wrap a towel around it so that no air gets into contact with the dye before washing out later. The best part about using this method is that when it comes time for washing out, there aren’t many steps involved! Simply shampoo like normal and conditioner afterwards; nothing fancy needed here!

Leave the henna on your hair until it’s dry and then rinse it out.

Once the henna is dry, you can rinse it out. This is a crucial step because if you don’t, you’ll have to live with the stain on your hair (and probably end up washing it off at some point).

Make sure that when you apply the henna and leave it on for 3-4 hours (or until dry) that you wear an old t-shirt or a white one, so that any possible stains won’t show up on your outfit. Also, wear an old towel around your neck so that if anything spills down onto it, there won’t be any permanent damage done to your favorite article of clothing! Finally, use a cotton shower cap (I recommend buying one from Amazon) whenever possible because this will prevent extra messes from happening throughout the process but also provide protection for those delicate strands when rinsing them out in cold water later on.
