- Covering Gray Hair
Recipe
Homemade Hair Dye
- By Purdue University
|
|
|
|
Wash your hair with one of the
following rinses. Pour the selected rinse through your hair 15
times, re-rinsing with the same liquid. On the final rinse, wring
hair, and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing with clear water.
Covering Gray: Simmer 1/2 cup dried sage in 2 cups
water for 30 minutes, then steep for several hours. Apply to
hair and leave on until dried. Then rinse and dry. Repeat weekly,
until desired shade, then monthly to maintain color. |

Sage And Rosemary Natural
Hair Dye |
- By Teresa Smith
SAGE. I am sure you know that
it is a healing herb and it relaxes as a tea. In a bath, it smells
good and eases my breathing.
|
I make a strong 'tea' of Sage and
a bit of Rosemary, strain it and refrigerate it, and before I
wash my hair, I spray it on the base of the grey patches of hair,
even have massaged it in. leave it for 5 - ten minutes and then
wash as usual, and care for my hair as I normally do. After a
few weeks of this (I do this almost daily), the grey is disappearing. |
|
After using the sage the normal
coloring returns to the hair. It is not a 'color-change' shocker,
and it softens and allows me to control the curls, and the amount
of grey. I have used this through the years and it has never
damaged my hair. I stop using it and the grey gradually returns
and it is even pretier than the time before.
My sister was totally grey headed
and after a month of daily using this solution, she had her normal
light brown hair. which she had not seen for over ten years,
and she dabbs it on once or twice a week now to keep her normal
color, and she is 40. I am 48 and do not want to be grey just
yet. |

Rosemary & Sage Tea Colorant |
|
|
|
|
To make a strong rosemary &
sage tea use equal amounts of rosemary & sage to 1 cup of
water, combine ingredients and steep for 10 minutes, strain and
use liquid for the colorant. |
|
|
|
NOTE: These
processes must be repeated daily for a few weeks before you notice
any changes. |
