Yes, you can cover gray hair with coffee to achieve a deeper brown shade, but the results are temporary.

Using Coffee to Cover Gray Hair

Coffee can be used as a natural way to darken gray hair, providing a temporary solution. Here's what you need to know:

  • Temporary Results: The color achieved with coffee washes out relatively quickly, so this is not a permanent solution.
  • Frequency: You can repeat the process as often as needed to maintain the desired shade.
  • Method:
    • Brew a strong cup of coffee.
    • Let it cool completely.
    • Mix the coffee with coffee grounds and a leave-in conditioner.

How to Apply

  1. Apply the mixture to your hair, ensuring that you cover the gray areas thoroughly.
  2. Leave it on for a period of time (the reference doesn't specify the duration, but typically 30 minutes to an hour is recommended).
  3. Rinse your hair.
