Applying coffee for thick hair??

[bklyncurly]

I read on another message board that applying coffee is great for darkening hair and giving it body and sheen. The person said that they poured 1/2 pot of brewed cool coffee on their hair prior to shampooing and after shampooing. Then rinsing well and they had the healthiest, shiniest hair. Supposed to work on natural and relaxed hair. Has anyone tried this before? I might try it if I get some feedback from you guys. I trust you!

I have heard of it

If you Google it, you will seen recipes for it, especially for darkening graying hair. Rosemary, nettle, basil and other teas are reported to do the same things. I may try it somewhere in the far future.

Yes, the henna I used the last time was mixed with ground coffee and indigo. Result: dark brown hair.

Sounds interesting. I'm going to try this after my next touch-up & see what it does to my gray.
