What this routine helps with
Do a henna treatment without staining your hijab or clothes.
Women who wear a hijab and live busy days.
The practical trouble with henna is not the colour, it is the wait: one to three hours at home, then a thorough rinse before you cover your hair.
Choose a day you stay in, and keep old fabric near your head.
Before you begin
Old towel and old top Plastic cap and gloves A free morning or evening at home
Step 1
Choose the day
Pick a weekend morning or evening at home.
Step 2
Protect
Wear an old top and wrap an old towel around your shoulders.
Step 3
Treat and rinse
Apply the henna, wait 1–3 hours and rinse thoroughly.
Step 4
Dry before dressing
Let hair dry fully before the hijab. Colour can transfer when damp.
Rinse until the water runs clear before putting on a hijab. Wash a new hijab separately for the first two days.
Colour transfer
Expect a little colour on a light hijab on day one. Dark or patterned fabric hides it best.
