Harmful chemical content within the hair colours available in the supermarket shelves have the potential to damage your hair! These colours increase hair fall and can even cause damage to the immune system.
We have come up with a few tips for you to colour your hair which does not involve exposing your precious locks to harmful chemicals. Did you know your kitchen has ingredients that can color your hair naturally?
Read on then:
1. Black tea is excellent for darkening your hair. It even brings out the natural highlights. Use 4 tea bags in 2 cups of boiled water. Let it soak for a while. Apply it on your hair after shampooing. Leave it on for 30 minutes and rinse it off. The longer you leave it on your hair, the darker will be the hue.
2. Red wine adds a subtle reddish sheen to your hair. Put some red wine on damp hair and keep it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse with a mild shampoo. You can even use apple cider vinegar to rinse your hair as it usually helps the colour last longer.
3. Citric acid which is found in abundance in lemons helps bleach the hair. Apply freshly squeezed lemon juice on your hair. Keep it on for an hour or two and then rinse it off with a mild shampoo. You will notice distinct lightening of the colour of your hair after a few applications.
4. Cinnamon tea also helps make your hair shade lighter. Make cinnamon tea and let it cool. Then apply on your hair, keep it for 30 minutes and rinse it off with shampoo.
5. Grape juice brightens the blondes and the reds of your hair. Mix grape juice and conditioner and apply on your hair. Leave it for 30 minutes and then rinse your hair with shampoo.
