DIY temporary hair dye. Colored hair dye: cooking at home. Rhubarb - giving hair light brown and ashy shades

Modern stores are full of a variety of different hair coloring products. However, despite all this abundance, it is better to give preference to natural paints. They not only effectively color the hair, but also do it carefully, without violating the natural structure of the hair, and sometimes improving their condition.

The easiest way to get natural hair dye is to make it yourself at home. Only in this case you will be absolutely sure that you do not act with any chemical preparations on your hair.

Making paint at home is quite simple, you just need to know which products have coloring properties, and what shades can be achieved from each of them.

So, you want to become a blonde. The first thing to learn is that natural dyes will not be able to lighten hair if their original color is dark. Owners of light blond and blond hair can still give them an additional golden or ashen shade.

Golden hair can be obtained with the help of onion broth - just brew a handful of onion peel in a glass of boiling water, let it brew for 20 minutes and use after each hair wash.

Do you want to know the secrets of the universe? Cabalism will help you grow as a person and gain wisdom.

A decoction of chamomile has a similar effect - two tablespoons of dried chamomile flowers per liter of boiling water, insist for about half an hour, then rinse your head and cover your hair with polyethylene for 20 minutes. Regular repetition of this procedure slightly brightens the hair, gives it extra shine and vitality.

An ashy shade can be obtained with a decoction of rhubarb. To prepare it, you will need stems and leaves, both dry and fresh, if possible, the roots of the plant, and white wine. Chopped stems and roots are poured with wine (a glass of chopped stems per half liter of wine) and boiled until about half of the liquid has evaporated. The resulting decoction is applied to the hair, covered with polyethylene and incubated for 30-60 minutes, depending on the initial shade.

If your goal is a chestnut color, then other means should be used. The simplest ways are a decoction of hazelnut peel, tea, coffee.

To make a nut decoction, walnut peel (you can also use leaves and bark), pour boiling water and boil. The resulting liquid is filtered and applied to the hair under a film for 20-30 minutes.

The easiest way to dye your hair brown is to use tea and/or coffee. Brew three tablespoons of tea, a spoonful of cocoa and a spoonful of instant coffee in a glass of boiling water, boil for 20 minutes and apply to your hair. 20 minutes of this simple mask will give your hair a beautiful chestnut shade, strength and healthy shine.

Very popular natural hair dyes are, of course, henna and basma. Depending on the original shade, exposure time and various additives, shades from bright red to black can be obtained. In addition to the coloring effect, henna and basma have a powerful healing effect on the hair, often used to treat weak, brittle, split ends.

For staining with henna and basma, it is necessary to dilute the staining defect with hot, but not boiling water in a glass or porcelain dish. Stir until a homogeneous slurry is formed and apply strand by strand to the hair. It is better to put the container with the dye in warm water so that the paint does not cool down. After applying the coloring gruel, the hair should be covered with a film and insulated. It is necessary to withstand the paint from 15 minutes to two hours, depending on the initial and desired shades.

You can breed henna and basma not only with water. For an additional coloring effect, you can use an infusion of tea and / or coffee, red wine, chamomile decoction. If you need to enhance the healing effect, you can add egg yolk and / or castor oil to the coloring mixture.

If you don’t have the time and desire to make hair dye yourself, you can also purchase it at the store. Of course, it will not be completely without chemistry - otherwise such paint would have a too short shelf life. But it is quite possible to purchase paint without aggressive chemicals - just read the packaging carefully. You need a paint without ammonia and based on natural plant extracts.

Whichever of the natural colors you choose - made by yourself or purchased in a store, your hair will be very grateful to you.

Not imagining their life without bold experiments, today's fashionistas often change their hair color. That's just the majority of permanent dyes negatively affect the condition of the hair, making it brittle and overdried. How to dye your hair without dye? Use the old recipes, thanks to which your curls will remain strong and beautiful.

Pros and cons of natural dyes

Compared to permanent helmets, folk “drugs” have several advantages:

Recipes for making natural hair dyes with your own hands at home

Making hair dye at home, as practice shows, is not at all difficult, and the effect of such coloring will be no worse, and the hair will not suffer from exposure to chemicals that are part of any purchased product.

This material is dedicated to how to make homemade hair dye from natural ingredients.

What can you make homemade hair dye with your own hands?

Fortunately, there are natural hair dyes that do not harm them. Before painting the entire head, for example, with henna, it is advisable to test one small strand and check if you get the desired color. This rule applies to most of the recipes given here. If you are making your own hair dye at home, choose a small strand of hair somewhere at the back of your head - nothing will be noticeable in this place. Tightly drag the selected strand with a rubber band and apply the prepared mixture to it. Wrap your head with plastic wrap and hold for as long as indicated in the recipe. Rinse and dry the dyed strand thoroughly. The color must be checked in bright light - for example, in the sun. If you are happy with the shade, paint the entire head.

Some recipes call for multiple hair dyes. In this case, no verification is needed. Just repeat coloring until you get the desired color.

What can hair dye be made of and how to make it correctly? Some herbs, when used day in and day out for a long time, give the hair a very specific color or shade. Ingredients such as chamomile flowers, rhubarb root and mullein flowers brighten hair and give it a golden sheen. Leaves of sage, tea and tobacco paint over and hide gray hair. Hibiscus flowers (karkade) give the hair a reddish tint. Well, there is no need to talk about the well-known henna and basma - these natural ingredients have been used for centuries and produce a stunning effect.

How to make hair dye from henna and basma at home
