Mentioned
in Islaam
|
“Henna
and katam are best at colouring grey hair”
“The
Prophet (r)
used to dye his hair and beard with henna and katam.”
Aboo Bakr
and Umar (The Caliph leaders that came after the Prophet (r)) used to dye their hair with henna
and katam. (Ahmad; Muslim)
“A woman made a sign from behind a curtain to indicate
that she had a letter for the Messenger of Allaah (r).
The Prophet (r) closed his hand saying, ‘I do not know
whether this is a man’s hand or a woman’s’. She said, ‘a womans’. He said,
‘if you were a woman you would colour your nails with henna”.
Narrated by Aa’ishah in Aboo Daawood no. 4154.
“The
best scent of the People of Paradise will be henna”.
Narrated
by ‘Abdullaah bin ‘Amr in Tabaraani.
“No-one
complained of a pain in his head except that he (r) said use cupping and no-one
complained of a pain in his legs except that he (r) said dye them (i.e with henna).
Narrated by
Salmaa Umm Raafi’ in Bukhaaree.
“Whenever
the Messenger of Allaah (r) had a boil or was pricked by a
thorn, he used to put henna on it.”
Narrated by
Salmaa Umm Raafi’ in Tirmidhee.
“My
brother Raafi’ and I visited ‘Umar bin al Khattaab. I had dyed my hair with
henna and my brother had dyed his hair yellow (sufrah). So ‘Umar said, ‘this
is the dye of Islaam’ and he said to my brother, ‘this is the dye of faith,
eemaan.”
(Awn al
Ma’bood Sharh Aboo Daawood. Vol. 11 p 258).

Methods
of using:
|
To dye
hair orangey red
(The
results depend on your hair colour, what other herbs you add to the henna
mix, how long you leave it on your hair and the freshness and quality of your
henna powder):
Use gloves.
Always do a strand test.
Make some
henna paste with henna powder and lemon juice/water. (use 100g henna powder
for shoulder length hair) Leave overnight to release the dye.
Add more
water to form a paste like yoghurt and stir well.
Section
your hair and apply the mixture. Leave on your hair for about 2-4 hours and
wrap well with cling film or a shower cap. Make sure to wipe off any excess
paste from ears, forehead and neck as it will make your skin turn orange!
Wash your
hair thoroughly.
It takes
about 2 days for the final colour to settle completely.
