A homemade hair dye recipe is a great alternative to commercial hair color products if you're concerned about exposure to chemicals. To dye hair naturally with a 100% organic product, simply create your own with certified ingredients. Making your own homemade herbal dye is surprisingly easy. So ditch those harsh chemicals that can damage hair for a gentle, natural color.
Plant-based dyes stain hair with temporary color that should last for up to six shampoos. They tint hair within a shade or two of your original color as well as add beautiful highlights. Don't expect dramatic color changes with a homemade hair dye recipe. To get a more pronounced color change simply increase the treatment processing time or apply treatments more frequently. You may need to be a little more patient to get the desired color, but your shining, healthy hair will make it well worth the wait. To keep your hair looking spectacular, treat it to a nourishing hair mask you can easily make at home.
There are many benefits to using hair dyes made from natural ingredients. A primary benefit is avoiding chemicals that may cause hair dye side effects such as skin irritation and allergic reaction. The possible dangers of hair coloring during pregnancy are still considered inconclusive by some. However, why take the risk when you can play it safe with a non toxic hair dye? For those who want a gentle pubic hair color product there is nothing better than a mild, natural dye you make yourself. Not only are homemade creations safer, but they're easier on your pocketbook as well.
When using a homemade hair dye recipe follow these tips for best results:
Many people have heard of using chamomile tea for hair lightening, but you can also lighten hair with honey. Enzymes in honey create a natural hydrogen peroxide that slightly lightens hair color. The hydrogen peroxide in honey also provides anti-bacterial properties which is why honey has been used for centuries to treat minor wounds. When honey comes into contact with substances that raise it's pH level, such as skin or hair, a slow-release chemical reaction creates hydrogen peroxide. The natural hair bleaching properties of honey take time to work but are effective.
A homemade hair dye recipe using spices, herbs and vegetable juice is especially effective for rich, red tints. A hair stain using these ingredients works so well that it easily stains everything around you! Remember to wear gloves to prevent hand stains, have paper towels handy for spills and use an old towel to wrap wet hair in.
If you want a convenient, natural brown dye look no further than your cup of java. Dying your hair with coffee is effective, economical and easy. As with every other homemade hair dye recipe, when you dye hair with coffee the results may be subtle the first time around. However, repeated treatments will create darker color.
