How to make Henna hair pack for naturally black hair at home

Henna is a natural hair dye that has been used for centuries to colour hair and skin. While henna is typically associated with creating reddish tones, it can also be used to create natural black hair color. Here's how you can make a henna hair pack at home:
Ingredients:

100g henna powder
1 lemon juice
1 tbsp coffee powder
Water

Instructions:

Mix henna powder and coffee powder in a bowl.
Add enough water to make a thick paste. The consistency should be similar to that of yogurt.
Add lemon juice to the mixture and stir well.
Cover the bowl with a lid and let the mixture sit for a few hours. This will help release the dye from the henna powder.
After a few hours, the henna paste should have a smooth consistency.
Before applying the henna hair pack, wash your hair thoroughly to remove any dirt or oil.
Section your hair and apply the henna paste evenly from root to tip.
Once you've applied the henna paste to all sections of your hair, cover your hair with a shower cap to prevent the henna from drying out.
Let the henna pack sit for 2-3 hours. The longer you leave it on, the darker the color will be.
After 2-3 hours, rinse your hair with water until the water runs clear. Do not use shampoo for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, shampoo and condition your hair as usual.

Note: Henna can stain fabrics and surfaces, so it's important to wear gloves and apply the henna pack in a well-ventilated area.

Also, do a patch test before applying henna on your hair to ensure you're not allergic to it.
