Hair colour changes with time. Some ladies experience this from day one of growing their hair while others develop uneven colour of hair from the relaxer used or thereabout. Having an uneven colour of hair can be really depressing and embarrassi­ng. Therefore, one way to take the trouble away is to try natural home remedies for shiny black hair.

Curry leaves and coconut oil are the best choices for growing a fleeky black hair without using dye or some kind of chemical which may lead to side effects. All that is needed to be done is to boil the leaves with the coconut oil. After boiling, separate the leaves from the coconut oil and allow the oil to cool, use it to massage the scalp and hair for an hour: then rinse the hair with shampoo.

Henna is a classic natural way to help darkened the hair. To ensure a black bouncy hair, get a desired colour of henna and mix with its liquid, then section your hair and apply the henna from the root to the tips. After the applicatio­n, wrap a plastic around your hair and secure it with a scarf or a lengthy cloth to keep the hair warm. Leave the henna in your hair for two hours; then rinse with hot water.

Coffee is another natural remedy for a beautiful dark hair. When applying coffee, shampoo your hair first, then pour the coffee on the hair, leave it for 20 minutes. Use apple cider vinegar to rinse of the coffee out of your hair. It helps to seal in the colour.

To ensure fleeky bouncy dark hair, a switch to some of these natural remedies can be really reliable and more effective. Therefore, put a rest to the applicatio­n of hair chemicals.
