How to dye gray hair with coffee
Before you start dyeing your gray hair with coffee, there are a few things to consider. First, what type of caffeine does coffee contain? Caffeine comes in a variety of forms—both natural and synthetic—and some types may not be as effective on hair.
For optimal results when using coffee for dying gray hair, it is recommended to use 100% pure and organic coffee. You can either brew your own coffee or purchase it from a health food store.
Step 1: Make fresh double-strength coffee
When using coffee to dye gray hair, make sure to always use freshly brewed coffee instead of coffee that has been sitting in a coffee pot or French press for hours. Old coffee may not be as effective on hair.
You also want to make coffee stronger than you would drink it – some suggest making it double strength. This will increase the amount of coloring in the coffee, increasing your chances of success.
Step 2: Mix your dye solution
Once you have the right type of coffee and it has cooled, it’s time to mix in the coloring. To do this, simply mix a cup of hot coffee with two tablespoons of baking soda.
The baking soda will help lighten the coffee, which means it will work better on gray hair. You can also add a small amount of shampoo or conditioner, as this will make it easier to mix.
Step 3: Wash and dry your hair
Before applying the mixture to your hair, make sure your hair is clean and dry. This is because coffee is a natural dye and can be absorbed into your hair. If your hair is dirty, wet, or oily, it may not appreciate the coffee as much.
Step 4: Apply the coffee dye to your hair
Finally, apply the coffee mixture to your gray strands, working it from root to tip. Since the color may not absorb immediately, you’ll want to wait at least 30 minutes before rinsing the dye out with water. Wait as long as possible to shampoo to let the dye set in.
While this method can help conceal gray hair, it’s important to know that the color won’t last forever. In fact, you’ll need to reapply this mixture every few weeks to maintain your desired color.
Here are some alternative methods of using coffee to cover up gray hair:
Soak your hair in coffee for 30 minutes according to WikiHow.
LeafTV suggests adding strong coffee to a spray bottle and spraying it directly onto hair.
Healthline suggests a method that uses conditioner and coffee grounds.
