Supplies

You will need some strong coffee and some hair gel and a container to mix them in.

Put about 4 tablespoons of coffee in a mug and add a little boiling water - just enough to submerge the coffee. Wait 10 minutes then strain through a paper filter into another mug. You just want a small volume of coffee, otherwise it will dilute the hair gel too much when blended and make it too runny.

Put your hair gel in a larger container, then add the strong coffee. Now shake shake shake and presto, you have coffee hair gel.

Use as you would regular hair gel. My theory is that the healthy benefits of the coffee will offset the dehydrating effects of the hair gel, as well as adding some natural brown colour.

As far as Instructables go this one is very achievable and I'd love to see some people give it a go and submit their do's in "I Made It!"
