DIY Gray Coverage Trend Grows With Henna How-To and Coffee–Coconut Paste

Outlets describe natural tinting that offers cosmetic cover without restoring pigment.

Overview

  • El Cronista details a henna recipe using 100 grams of powder with lemon juice, vinegar, and warm water, resting six hours before a two to three hour application and rinsing without shampoo.
  • The piece says results appear the same day and can last for weeks depending on hair type and wash frequency.
  • Diario Uno promotes a paste made by cooling very concentrated coffee and blending it with extra virgin coconut oil, applied under a cap for one to two hours before rinsing.
  • That outlet notes the coffee–coconut mix is aimed at brown hair and that effectiveness varies by hair type.
  • Across the coverage, henna is credited with strengthening hair, reducing frizz, adding shine, and being suitable for sensitive scalps because it coats rather than penetrates the hair shaft.
