Coffee doesn't just keep you awake in the morning - research shows that coffee can also stimulate hair growth, give your hair shine, and give it depth to darker hair. But you won't see these effects just by sipping a cup of coffee - you need to put the coffee in direct contact with your hair.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Treat your hair with coffee

1. 

   Phase a pot of strong coffee. A regular cup of coffee uses 2 tablespoons (7-9 g or 2 teaspoons) of coffee and 180 ml of water. For a darker coffee, add 1-2 tablespoons of coffee. Thus, to make a pot of coffee equal to 8 cups, you will use 1.5 liters of water and 18-20 tablespoons (80 g) of coffee.
   • Remember that the darker the coffee, the darker the color will be. Coffee shampoo is great for those with chestnut brown or gray hair, as coffee can add depth and darken hair.
   • If you have blond, light red, or light colored hair, you might want to try a different hair conditioner; otherwise, your hair may turn gray or look dirty.
   • You can use espresso coffee powder if you do not have the roasted coffee.

   Do you know? The coffee treatment stimulates blood circulation to the scalp, rejuvenates hair follicles and speeds up hair growth!

2. 

   Wash your hair with shampoo as usual, rinse thoroughly. Remember to rinse the shampoo thoroughly. Use your hands to gently squeeze your hair to make the water run down - you don't need to dry your hair thoroughly, but don't let it drip wet either.

3. 

   
   
   Standing in the bath, washing the coffee cool to your hair, starting at the roots. If you are more careful, use a bucket or basin to catch the dripping coffee water to rinse it again.
   • If you want to sprinkle coffee evenly over your hair, you can pour cooled coffee into a spray bottle and spray it on your hair.
   • If you are afraid that the coffee will stain the bath or bathroom floor, bend over the bucket as you rinse the coffee over your hair to let the water run into the bucket.
   • Rinse all of the coffee in the tub right after rinsing it to avoid staining.

4. 

   
   
   Put a shower cap on your hair and wait 20-60 minutes. If you don't have an old hair hood, you can wrap your hair in an old towel if you don't regret the scarf. Remember that coffee will stain fabrics and other porous materials, so don't leave coffee on carpets and furniture, and don't wear nice clothes or bright clothing.
   • If the coffee does run down your face or neck, rinse it off with soap and water to keep your skin from staining.
   • The longer the coffee stays on the hair, the darker the hair.

5. 

   Rinse hair with warm water and let it dry naturally. Treat your hair with coffee several times to get darker, shinier hair, grow faster and reduce hair loss.
   • If you want to take advantage of the color of coffee, rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar, as vinegar will help keep the coffee color.

Method 2 of 2: Condition your hair with coffee grounds

1. 

   Phase a pot of coffee with 8 tablespoons (or 30-35 g) of coffee. You only need about half a handful of coffee grounds, so this amount of coffee is effective enough. If you like, feel free to add or remove coffee as needed.
   • Coffee grounds darken the color of your hair, so if you have light-colored hair, use a different method to keep it shiny.

2. 

   Cover the coffee filter or cheesecloth over the drain. Don't let the grounds get into the drain - coffee can block the pipes. The coffee filter will trap the grounds and keep it out of the drain, and you can throw it in the trash after your hair treatment is finished.

3. 

   Rub a handful of coffee grounds let cool into wet hair. Rub coffee grounds into your hair, scrub your scalp and rub long strands of hair. The roughness of coffee grounds will help exfoliate the scalp dead cells, stimulating hair follicles to grow hair.
   • If you want to regularly condition your hair, you can dry the coffee grounds and mix it with shampoo, conditioner or conditioner.

4. 

   Rinse off the coffee grounds from your hair. Coffee grounds will remove residue on hair, making hair soft, shiny and healthy. Throw residue left on filter paper in a trash can or compost.
   • If you use coffee grounds to condition your hair regularly, you will find your hair grows faster as well. The caffeine in coffee suppresses the hormone that causes hair loss and prolongs the life of the hair. You can try a coffee grounds conditioner 1-2 times a week.
   • Pat your hair dry with an old towel, and remember that water dripping from wet hair can damage your clothes. You should wear a scarf over your shoulder or wear an old shirt until your hair is dry.

Warning

• Coffee can stain towels and household items. Keep this in mind when preparing the hair zone.
• Make sure the coffee has cooled down completely.The scalp is more sensitive to temperature than the skin on the hands, so if it feels hot to the touch, it will be even hotter when rinsed on the head.
• Don't use coffee to treat light-colored or bleached hair. Coffee will stain or lighten hair.
