Belle's Challenge - Day 3 - Make Your Own Hair Dye

Posted in Make Your Own

This is on my to try list:  (from www.pioneerthinking.com)

 

Rosemary-Sage Natural Hair Dye recipe

For Covering Gray

 

Use equal amounts of rosemary & sage to 1 cup of water, combine ingredients and steep for 10 minutes, strain and use liquid for the colorant.  Refrigerate in a spray bottle until needed.  Before washing hair, spray the base of the gray patches of hair, leave it for five - ten minutes (or leave until dry) and then wash as usual. Apply daily until desired color, then monthly to keep color.

 

Hair Dye recipes

 

Wash your hair with one of the following rinses.  Pour the rinse through your hair 15 times, re-rinsing with the same liquid.  On the final rinse, wring hair and leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing with clear water.

 

Brunette:  Rinse hair with a strong black tea or black coffee.

 

Blonde: Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice in 1 gallon warm water.

 

Red:  Make a strong tea of rosehips or cloves, or use strong black coffee.

 

 

Note:  This process must be repeated daily for a few weeks before you notice any changes.
