Wardah’s Natural Hair Care Story:
I have never dyed my hair with any artificial products all my life. About 10 years back I used to regularly condition my hair once a month with henna. It would make my hair feel light and silky soft and so much fun to run my fingers through! And the color was a rich blackish maroon too! There were no exact quantities. My mom would mix up a batch of the following ingredients, leave it to rest overnight and then apply it generously all over my hair. I have not been able to do it for many years and the color is all gone now…but my hair is still as soft and shiny as it was all those years ago.
Recipe:
- henna powder
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 sachet packet of instant coffee
- 1/2 cup beetroot water (beetroots boiled in water)
- black tea and water to make thick paste
I would leave this paste on for 3 hours and rinse off with water to get the most luxuriously soft hair!
Another thing I used to do was condition my hair once a month with the following:
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 squeezed lemon
- 1 egg
Mix together, apply to hair for an hour and wash off with regular shampoo. this also left my hair feeling strong, soft and shiny.
