Notes On Coffee RinsesNatural Coffee Hair Rinse

  • The exact amount of coffee to use depends on the length and thickness of your hair, but 2-4 cups are usually recommended.

  • Do not use instant coffee since it may contain additives that can damage your hair.

  • Be sure the coffee is not hot. Since your scalp is much more sensitive to temperature than your hands, if the coffee feels hot to your finger, it will feel even hotter on your head.

  • Do not use on very light or bleached hair since coffee will stain porous or light hair.

  • Coffee can also stain your towels and other equipment.
