Here is a safe and all natural recipe for darkening gray hair that you can prepare right at home with simple ingredients. Commercial hair coloring contains harsh chemicals that are not good for your health. Here is a great alternative to try!

Native Americans have used sage tea as a treatment for gray hair for centuries! Have fun with this all natural formula that contains no harmful or harsh chemicals. You will never go back to hair coloring in a box again!

This formula will work great for both women and men's hair!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • boiling water
  • dried sage leaves
  • commercial tea
  1. Step 1

    Pour 1 c. boiling water over 4 T. dried sage. Let the mixture steep overnight and strain out the sage in the morning.

  2. Step 2

    Combine sage infused water with 1 c. commercial tea. Work this mixture into hair every night until your desired color is reached. The darker and more gray hair you have, obviously the more applications will need to be done.

  3. Step 3

    Experiment with different all natural teas to achieve the desired color. Black tea works great for achieving a dark brown/black color. Lighter brown herbal teas will achieve a light brown hue.

Tips & Warnings
  • More sage infused water and tea can be used on longer hair. Just double the recipe!
  • Great for just darkening hair even if you have no gray to cover!
