How to Make Hair Dyes at Home

Home made hair highlights.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Lighten up any hair color with a Lemon Rinse. Just mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with 1 gallon of water. If it's blond streaks you want, go to your local drug store and get some Alum(it's an aluminum compound). You will also need some honey. Mix them together to make paste, then paint mixture onto hair. Go sit out in the sun for 45 minutes. Then shampoo as usual.

2. Highlight brown or red hair by pouring cold black coffee on it after shampooing. Then rinse coffee out. Another way to highlight dark hair is to mix 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon allspice, 1 teaspoon crushed cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of cloves. Simmer mix for a few minutes, then strain, keeping liquid. Shampoo hair with your regular soap, then pour mixture on your hair. LET MIX COOL BEFORE POURING ON YOUR HEAD.

3. Gray hair can be darkened with a tea, rosemary and sage mixture. Boil 3 tea bags, 1 tablespoon rosemary, and 1 tablespoon sage. Let the mix sit over night, then strain. Wear old cloths for the next part. Shampoo hair as usual, then either pour or spray mix onto your head. Blot hair dry with a towel, don't rinse out right away. Repeat if desired.
