Having decided to dye your hair with a tool such as coffee, you must first learn the advice of those who have already used it. This will help not to spoil the hair.

Virtually all the dosages in the proposed recipes are calculated on medium length curls, so they need to be “customized” to fit their hair on their own - either by increasing or decreasing the amount of coffee.

Since this staining does not give too lasting results, it is recommended to do it almost every time before washing the head. In this case, the hair color will each time become richer and more beautiful.

If the coffee mixture turns out to be too thick, then it must first be rubbed into the roots and only then distributed over all the hair. If the mixture is very liquid, then you just need to rinse your hair with it.

Do not wet the hair before applying the coffee mixture. In this case, the color will fall not so good. For maximum results, coffee “paint” can be kept on the head for up to two hours. It is completely harmless, so the hair will remain healthy after such a long procedure.

And in order to remove the coffee smell, you can rinse your head with water with your favorite essential oils. The main thing is to add only a few drops to the liquid so that the smell is not too persistent. In addition, sometimes after such staining a feeling of stickiness appears. Therefore, experts recommend adding a little hair conditioner to the prepared mixture.

In addition, do not forget that you can use only natural coffee and in any case not powder. If the house does not have a coffee grinder, then you should buy ground coffee. True, the color in this case will not be so bright.

Summarizing, we can say that coffee can be used not only for its “intended purpose”. It is quite possible to enjoy a cup of natural freshly brewed drink, and then turn the remnants of thick into a coloring agent.
