Henna is a harmless plant-based dye that you can use to dye your hair reddish brown. The process of applying Henna powder to your hair can be a bit messy and you need to be careful to make sure you don’t dye your forehead or surrounding skin. After applying the Henn powder, you must wrap plastic wrap around your hair and let the powder soak into your hair for a few hours before washing it again. An important step when dyeing hair with Henna powder is the preparation step because the powder must be mixed and left for a few hours before applying. So you need to mix the dough first.
Steps
Prepare to apply powder

Mix the Henna powder . Henna comes in powder form and you must mix it with water before applying it to your hair. Mix 1/2 cup (50 g) of Henna powder with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of warm water and mix well. As needed, you can add tablespoons (15 ml) of water at a time until the Henna mixture reaches a mashed potato-like texture.
- After mixing the powder with water, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave the mixture at room temperature for about 12 hours.
- When you’re ready to apply the powder, you’ll need to add a little water to make it a thick paste that can still be applied to your hair.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a0/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-2-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a0/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-2- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wash and dry your hair. Hair needs to be clean before applying Henna powder. While in the shower (shower or bath), you can wash your hair with your regular shampoo to remove dirt, oil, and styling products. Rinse off the shampoo. After bathing, use a towel to dry your hair, use a hair dryer or let your hair dry naturally.
- Do not apply hair conditioner because the oil in the conditioner can prevent the Henna powder from penetrating the hair roots perfectly. [1] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e8/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e8/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-3- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Protect hairline with oil. If you have long hair, you should tie your hair back so that it does not stick to your face, and does not touch your shoulders and neck. If your hair is short, you should wear a headband so your hair doesn’t stick to your face. Using your fingers, apply a small amount of coconut oil, body butter, or wax to the hairline, including the forehead, neck, and ears. [2] X Research Source
- The oil will create a barrier between the Henna powder and the skin, preventing the powder from dyeing the skin around the hairline.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3c/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3c/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-4- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Comb and part your hair. Let your hair down and use a wide tooth comb to comb it. This step helps untangle the hair and doesn’t make it frizzy. Part your hair in the middle and let it fall evenly on both sides of your head. [3] X Research Sources
- There is no need to divide your hair into sections as you will be dyeing your hair in layers.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/07/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-5- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Protect the skin. Henna powder can get all over the place, so it’s best to wear old clothes and an old towel or rag to protect your skin. Put a towel over your shoulder. Pull the towel over your shoulders and neck, then use pins or hairpins to secure the towel. [4] X Source of Research Because henna powder can stain your skin, you should wear latex or latex gloves to protect your hands and nails.
- You can wear a nylon sheet, a poncho or a cape when cutting your hair.
- Place a damp rag next to it to wipe the little dye off the skin immediately.
Apply Henna powder mixture
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6b/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-6-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6b/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-6- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Feel free to apply the mixture to a small section of hair. Start with the outermost layer of hair. Grasp a section of hair about 5cm thick from the center, back of the head. Remove this section of hair from the rest of the hair. Use a large hair dye brush or fingers to apply 1-2 teaspoons (2-4 g) of Henna powder to the roots. Spread the powder mixture down to the ends of your hair and add more powder if needed. [5] X Research Sources
- Henna powder is not as easy to spread as regular dye, so you need to make sure your hair is evenly applied from root to tip.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0c/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0c/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-7- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Twist your hair to the top of your head. After you have applied the powder to the entire first section of hair, you can twist your hair a few times and then wrap it in a bun on the top of your head. Henna powder mixture is quite sticky so the bun will stay in place. [6] X Research Source You can use hair clips if you want.
- For short hair, you should twist and clip the bun on the top of the head to avoid hindering the process of applying powder to the next section of hair.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d5/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-8-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d5/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-8- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Apply the mixture to the next section of hair. Continue with the outermost section of hair. Grasp a 5cm thick section of new hair next to the first section. Use your fingers or a hair dye brush to apply the henna paste to the roots of your hair. Spread the mixture down to the ends of your hair (use more powder if needed) until the entire section is covered with Henna powder.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d8/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-9-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-9-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d8/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-9- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-9-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Twist and wrap the new section of hair over the first section. Twist the dyed hair a few times and then wrap it around the first bun. Because the Henna powder is sticky, the bun will stay in place, but you can use clips to secure it.
- For short hair, you should twist your hair and use clips to fix it on the first bun.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4f/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4f/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-10- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Continue applying the mixture to the rest of your hair. Apply the powder to each small section of hair as before. Continue to spread to the front of the head and onto the sides. Apply Henna to each section of hair about 5cm thin to ensure even powder coverage. After applying the powder all over the top layer of hair, you can repeat the same process with the bottom layer of hair until the hair is completely covered with the powder.
- Continue twisting and wrapping each section of hair around the original bun. [7] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3c/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3c/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-11- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Press the powder around the hairline. After each section of hair has been powdered and wrapped into a bun, you can start stomping around the hairline and adding more mixture to areas where the powder seems thin or needs more coverage. Pay special attention to the hairline and hairline. [8] X Research Sources
Helps the powder harden and wash off
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0b/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0b/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-12- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wrap nylon around your hair. After the hair is completely powdered, you need to use a long piece of plastic to wrap the hair. Wrap the nylon around the hairline and cover the entire hair and the top of the head. Do not cover the ears.
- Wrapping your hair in plastic will keep the henna warm, moist, and firm. [9] X Research Source
- If you have to go out while your hair is in, you can wrap a scarf over it to cover the plastic.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/ff/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/ff/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-13- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Keep the Henna dough warm and firm. It usually takes about 2-4 hours for the Henna powder to harden. The longer the powder is left on the hair, the darker and lighter the hair color will be. You can keep the Henna powder warm to stimulate the dye. Stay indoors if it’s cold outside or wear a hat when you have to go outside.
- You can leave the Henna powder on the hair for about 6 hours if you want the hair to be as light as possible. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/49/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/49/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-14- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Rinse with conditioner. After the Henna powder hardens, you can put on gloves to remove the plastic. Stand under the shower to rinse the henna paste from your hair. Apply conditioner to your hair to help soften the mixture. [11] X Research Source
- Continue to apply conditioner, while rinsing with water until the conditioner is clear and the hair is no longer sticky.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e9/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e9/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-15- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wait a few days for the hair color to show up. Hair color dyed with Henna powder usually takes 48 hours to show up. Initially, dry hair will have a bright orange color. After a few days, the dye will darken and become less orange. [12] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/49/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna- to-Hair-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/49/Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-16- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Henna-to-Hair-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Smash new hair growth. Henna powder is a long-lasting dye so you don’t have to worry about the color fading or washing off over time. You can reapply Henna powder for a darker and lighter color, or just stomp on the newly grown hair roots. [13] X Research Source
- When stomping your hair, you can leave the Henna powder on your hair for the same amount of time as when you applied the original powder to give your hair a similar color.
