Try To Dye Your Hair With Natural Extracts!

Did you know that there are certain natural extracts that you can dye your hair with? We are not talking about those herbal dyes, but rather about some dyes that you can prepare at home, which will nourish your hair and give it various benefits. Below we will present these natural paints and we will explain how you can prepare them.

These products are completely natural, which is why you will not get the same result as when you use artificial products. The latter last longer and can color your hair in very strange or intense colors.

However, these natural dyes will give your hair a beautiful and natural color. In addition, you will be able to use them very often, because they will not damage your hair. You can use them even during pregnancy!

If you want to dye your hair red

This paint is probably one of the best known natural products: henna. Henna can color your hair red to the roots and give it thickness and health. Among the natural dyes in this article, henna is among the most resistant. The new color will last you up to 3 months!

Mix some henna powder with a little lemon juice or conditioner. This way, the powder will not dry out your hair too much.

Be careful to wear gloves when you paint, because henna can also color your skin.

If you want to dye your hair blonde

The ability of chamomile to give our hair a brighter tone is well-known. This is why many brands of shampoo include it as an ingredient in their products to strengthen the shades of blonde.

You can prepare an infusion of chamomile, which you can then apply on your hair for half an hour, after which you can wash your head.

If you want to dye your hair brown

Walnut leaves can give your hair a brown tone, but also shine and strength. To prepare this paint, you need to boil the leaves in water. While it is still hot, apply the mixture on your hair and leave it to act for 15 minutes.

Throughout history, this paint has been prepared by boiling walnut leaves in beer.  The latter ingredient is also very good for your hair, giving it a lot of shine.

Another option is to boil some sage and rosemary in plenty of water for six hours. Salvia, in addition, can help you hide your first white hairs.

And rosemary is an excellent plant for your hair, helping to prevent hair loss. When the infusion has cooled, add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and apply to hair. Stay calm for half an hour and then wash your head.

If you want to dye your hair black

Make an infusion of black tea, a mixture that can help you return to your natural color if you have already dyed yourself. This infusion should be prepared in a high concentration and left on the fire for half an hour. Then apply it on the hair and leave it on for 20 minutes.

Some tips

• We recommend that you avoid aluminum containers or utensils when preparing a natural hair dye.
• After applying the dye to your hair, cover your head with a disposable cap for best results.

• Repeat this process every few days, until you get the color you want.
• The only disadvantage of these dyes compared to artificial ones is that they will not make your hair as shiny. However, you can solve this problem by frequently and equally applying moisturizing masks and apple cider vinegar combined with water. The drier your hair, the more vinegar you need to use. Apply the mask or mixture on your hair, leave it on for a few minutes. Then wash your head with cold or warm water.
• We recommend that you use only natural and organic shampoos. This way your hair will not be damaged much and the dye will last longer. These shampoos are a bit more expensive and do not produce too much foam. But in the long run, your hair will be healthier and you will not have to wash as often as before. Natural shampoos keep your hair clean for longer. In a future article, we will teach you how to wash your hair using only vinegar and baking soda.
