The most common method of using herbs to color your hair is by making a strong tea or rinse. Using rinses to dye your hair takes time and usually many applications. Don't expect big changes overnight. Also this method will not yield salon results. These are rinses and will give minimal amounts of hair color. These are made to be hair color enhancer's and do not result in full hair color coverage as normal hair color results would be. Color Rinses are great for slight highlights!
Herbal dye rinses are also great when you are trying to grow your artificial color out after having it dyed. Perfect when going grey all natural again!
How to make a Hair color rinse/tea
1.) Place about 1/2 -1 cup roots, herbs or flowers in a teabag or tea ball before adding to 3-4 cups water.
2.) Simmer or steep in water for 20 minutes. Allow to cool. Drain herbs.
3.) Apply as a final rinse, AFTER shampoo and conditioner.
For a stronger tea, place herbs in a glass jar. Pour boiling water over herbs, cover and let sit in jar for anywhere between 24 hours to a week.
