You can color your hair red using beet and carrot juices.

If you want to color your hair without spending lots of money at a hair salon, you can find ingredients right in the produce section of the grocery store. To dye hair a reddish hue, you can use a combination of beet juice and carrot juice, says the website Green Eco Services.

Things You'll Need

• Gloves
• Beet juice
• Carrot juice
• Measuring cup
• Water
• Spoon
• Sunlight

Instructions

1. Thoroughly wet your hair. Pat it dry so it's not dripping.
