2–3 tablespoons ground cloves or clove powder
2 cups strong black tea (brewed and cooled)
1–2 teaspoons coconut or olive oil (optional for conditioning)
Instructions:
Mix cloves with black tea to form a thick paste.
Apply evenly to clean, damp hair, focusing on white/gray areas.
Massage the paste into the scalp and cover hair with a shower cap.
Leave for 30–60 minutes depending on desired intensity.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Repeat 2–3 times a week for gradual darkening.
Optional Boost: Add 1 teaspoon of henna powder if you want a stronger, longer-lasting black color.
Tips for Best Results
Consistency is key—natural methods work gradually.
Protect hair from sun exposure to prevent lightening.
Eat a nutrient-rich diet with copper, iron, and B vitamins to support melanin production.
Do a patch test to avoid irritation from cloves, henna, or other ingredients.
Natural remedies are safe, nourishing, and chemical-free, but results vary with hair type, original color, and frequency of use. With consistent care, you can achieve darker, healthier, and shinier hair naturally.
