Natural products are being used to dye dark brown hair.
Adding red highlights is a great way to lighten dark brown hair.Natural products can be used at home instead of going to the salon.If you bleach your hair first and use a shop-bought dye, you can create a gorgeous auburn or Ruby hue.
Step 1: The ingredients should be gathered.
You may be able to find fresh Jamaican sorrel if you live in a tropical country.You can add a bright red flower to your hair to make it sparkle in the sun.You can buy the dried version if you can't find fresh Jamaican sorrel.You will need two cups.2 cups water and 1 cup honey are included.
Step 2: The sorrel mixture should be made.
The two cups of water should be placed in a small saucepan.Bring to a boil, then add the sorrel, cover the pan with a lid, and turn off the heat.Let it soak for several hours so that the sorrel dye steeps into the water, then strain it into a bowl and mix in the honey.
Step 3: Prepare your hair.
Don't use conditioner, wash your hair as usual.The conditioner stays in the hair and can prevent the dye from setting.Use a wide-toothed comb to remove tangles.
Step 4: The sorrel mixture should be applied.
Put on latex or plastic gloves and spread the mixture through your hair.It's important to distribute it well so that no strands of hair get left out.If you want red highlights, choose a few strands and separate them from the rest of the hair using strips of aluminum foil.
Step 5: Allow the dye to sit on your hair.
You can cover your hair with a plastic shower cap or plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.Allow it to sit for 4 hours or more.The longer the dye is in your hair, the more red it will look.
Step 6: Take out the dye.
You can rinse your hair with warm water by removing the cap or plastic wrap.After you wash and condition your hair, style it.
Step 7: There is juice.
When used with dark brown hair, the bright red juice creates a dark auburn hue.The juice from the beets is all you need.If you don't have a juicer, you can strain the juice from the beets using a strainer.
Step 8: The juice should be mixed with honey.
Place the juice in a bowl.When the mixture is completely combined, stir it well.It's ready to apply to your hair.
Step 9: You should wash your hair.
Don't apply conditioner, wash it as usual.The juice from the beets will work better on hair than most conditioners.If you have tangles, use a wide-toothed comb to untangle them.
Step 10: The mixture of juice should be applied.
Put on latex or plastic gloves and use your fingers to smooth over your hair.If you want auburn highlights, apply the mixture to individual strands separated from the rest of your hair.
Step 11: Let the mixture sit while you cover your hair.
Put on a shower cap and wait for the juice from the beets to turn your hair auburn.Allow the mixture to sit in your hair for 4 hours or overnight.
Step 12: Remove the juice from the beets.
You can wash and condition your hair by running it under warm water.Dark auburn tones shine through when your hair is dry.
Step 13: You can buy the powder.
The powder is made from the flower.A paste made from the powder is applied to the skin or hair to turn it into a reddish color.The perfect amount to dye medium-length hair is 100 gram boxes of henna powder.Paprika and clove powder can be used to dye your hair.You can try one of the spices if you don't have access to henna powder.
Step 14: Make a paste.
You should mix the powder with the water according to the instructions on the package.If you want to lighten your hair, use lemon juice instead of water.Allow the paste to sit overnight.The paste is ready to go if you add more water the next day.
Step 15: The paste should be applied.
Wet your hair, towel dry it, and comb through it to get rid of tangles.You can protect yourself from the dye by wearing latex or plastic gloves.Make sure to cover your hair with the paste by using your fingers.If there is a stray bit of paste on your skin, wipe it off.It is possible to dye your skin just as easily as it dyes your hair.You can highlight strands of hair from the rest of your head with strips of aluminum foil.The strands of hair can be painted using an old pastry brush.
Step 16: Let your hair sit.
If you want to cover your hair while the dye sets in, use a shower cap or plastic wrap.Allow it to sit in your hair for at least four hours.The redder your hair will be if you don't let it sit for a while.
Step 17: Remove the paste from the skin.
To wash out the dye, use cold water.Run the water through your hair until it clears.Wait until the next day to wash your hair.It will take a few days for your hair to be rich red.
