How to Blacken Your Teeth (Ohaguro)
If you're looking to give your smile a dramatic makeover, Ohaguro is an ancient Japanese custom that blackens the natural color of your teeth with a stain. The process is thought to bring the wearer luck and is often used as part of cultural celebrations. Here's how to get it done:
- Gather the supplies: You'll need Ohaguro powder, a large bowl, a small brush or toothpick, and some water.
- Mix the Ohaguro powder: Fill the bowl with a small amount of water and mix in the Ohaguro powder until you get a paste-like mixture. If you need more water, add it in increments. The mixture should not be runny.
- Apply the Ohaguro: Using the brush or toothpick, carefully coat each tooth with the Ohaguro mixture. Ensure that the paste gets into all the ridges and grooves of each tooth.
- Leave the paste to dry: Allow the paste to dry on your teeth for 5-10 minutes. You should feel no discomfort while the paste is drying.
- Rinse off the Ohaguro: Once the paste is dry, rinse it off with cool water. Then brush your teeth gently with toothpaste and rinse again. Your new blackened look should last for several days.
