Prepare Your Hair Color At Home

There are many coloring products available in market. What if you could make your own dye at home? Here are some examples of most commonly used shades which can be achieved from nature.

Using Coffee

One interesting remedy to color hair with coffee is to use it with a leave-in-conditioner.  Mix 2 tbsp of ground coffee and a cup of brewed coffee with the leave-in-conditioner. Apply all over your hair. Let it work for 1 hour then wash when it appears tight.

Using Tea

Take 8 black (caffeinated) tea bags, 2 cups of curd, cup of black henna and a cup of water. Obtain tea water by brewing the tea bags. Mix it with henna, add curd. Curd and tea help the henna to release more color. But if you add lemon juice in excess, the henna will not produce any coloring effect on hair.

Apply the paste all over your hair. Keep for 6 hours then wash thoroughly with water. Your hair will shine with a rich dark brown shade.
