Hair has become a very essential part of appearance and good looks.
Lots of us make serious investments on hair care products such as dyes, relaxers, conditioners, shampoos,and hair growth creams.
Hair colours might fade as the volume of the hair increases or as age progresses.
Then the ultimate search for the best dyes that also come cheap (terribly difficult if you ask me🤷)
Then scientists tell us hair dyes*******
Wait,what if I told you,your hair could maintain it's optimal shade without you buying any dyes or going to the hair salon.
We start off with Shiny Black.
We notice that as hair increases,it gradually goes fading into an ugly brownish shade.
Did you know you had some hair dye at home?,of course you didn't.
Method 1
Coffee Treatment
This is super effective in giving black hair back it's sheen.
Note:This method is for restoring former sheen to black hair and not for changing the colour completely.
Steps.
1. This method works best on clean and dry hair,so get some shampoo,wash your hair, rinse it thoroughly and dry off.
2. Brew like 450ml of coffee,(preferably dark roast),try to make the coffee mix as strong as possible,for really good results.
3. After the coffee mix is completely cool,add an equal amount of hair conditioner to add texture and ease application.
4. Add extra coffee powder (about 3tbs) and mix the ingredients together to get a thick black paste.
5. Divide and conquer. Divide your hair into sections with a comb and apply the dye using a brush applicator.
6. Be patient. Wait for an hour and rinse off the dye before it starts to harden.
Stand under a shower and let cool water run through your hair,(DON'T USE SHAMPOO!!!) Afterwards,you can blow dry your hair or leave it to dry naturally.
And please don't use a towel to dry your hair.
Method 2
Walnut Shells
A cheap and funway to recycle organic matter. Who would've thought that discarded shells could help save you a visit to the salon .
Steps
1. Gather your materials. For this you'll need to get some walnut shells and crush them or if that's too much of a bother,just buy some walnut shell powder.
Just remember that the more powder you use,the better your results.
2. Boil your powder in some clean water for 25-35 minutes.
3. Patience pays. Allow the mixture to cool completely before using it.
4. Strain your water into the container with a fine strainer.
5. Use a dye applicator brush or punch a few holes in the lid of a plastic bottle and apply that water to your hair.
6. Allow the dye to sit for an our and rinse off with warm water.
For Blonde Hair
If you're a blonde,and your hair is getting brown streaks due to sun exposure,there's nothing better than some good tea. Yeah,you heard me, there's nothing some chamomile tea cannot fix.
Just follow the steps and please don't let the salon people know I told you,I don't want 'em coming after me .
Steps
1. Boil your tea, preferably the chamomile flowers, but tea bags should also do the job.
Use about 2/3 of a cup per litre of water.
Leave this to boil for about 35 minutes.
2. While the tea is cooling, apply some shampoo to your hair.
3. After you're done washing, thoroughly soak your hair in the tea and put on a shower cap or tie a towel around your head for an hour then rinse off with clean water.
In place of the chamomile tea,you can use saffron, yellow broom flowers or rhubarb root.
The red haired ones come here
There are a variety of ways to maintain your reddish tint.
Method 1
Tomato Juice
Now most of us hate our veggies,trust me,I know.
What if you could use that can of tomato juice for something else.
A weekly application of tomato juice will do your hair good.
Steps
1. Cut open a can of tomato juice,(an please use a tin opener,you don't wanna get a cut).
2. Take some (about 15oz) and refrigerate the rest.
3. Use a tint brush to apply your tomato dye and cover with a shower cap or tie up with a towel.
4. Allow it to sit for about 35 minutes and rinse off with clean water.
Method 2
More juice.
Depending on the shade,you can make use of beet or carrot juice.
For deeper red tints,use beet juice and for orange-red tints apply carrot juice.
The same steps apply to both.
Steps
1. Use an old towel or piece of cloth to cover yourself in order to avoid getting stains.
2. Apply a cup or more (depending on desired results and hair volume) along with some hair conditioner.
3. When you're done ,put on a shower cap and wait for an hour then rinse off with clean water.
