For the medium length hair, you can use one and a half pack of 100 grams and for hip length hair, you may use 250 grams of the henna.

But it also depends on your hair texture. Like if you have the curly hair with shoulder length you may require 150 to 200 grams of the henna. Well, this quantity is usually mentioned at the back of the pack as well. Always read those instructions too. Here is a little guide:

Frequently Asked Questions

How to do henna for beginners?

Start by choosing plant-based henna powder and mixing it with coffee or water to form a smooth paste. Let the mixture sit for several hours to release the dye. Cleanse your hair and section it off. Apply the henna paste evenly, working from roots to ends. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave the henna on for an appointed time. Rinse out thoroughly with water and conditioner.

Is henna best applied on wet or dry hair?

Henna is typically best applied on clean, dry hair. Wet hair may not absorb the henna paste as effectively, leading to uneven color distribution. Make sure your hair is completely dry before applying henna for the best results.

Should I apply oil before henna?

It's not recommended to apply oil to your hair before henna application. Oil can create a barrier that restricts the henna from properly adhering to your hair strands, resulting in uneven color. It's best to apply henna to clean, oil-free hair for optimal color penetration and coverage.
