It's a rare woman who is happy with her natural hair color. You always want to correct, or even radically change, what nature has given. And the modern beauty industry provides such an opportunity. Permanent hair dyes can quickly give your hair a beautiful shade, turning you from, say, a brunette to a radiant blonde. The only problem is that even the best dyes are harmful to hair because they contain aggressive chemical components. “A good alternative to permanent dyes are tint products that do not penetrate deep into the hair shaft, but only envelop it, remaining on and under the scales,” says Irina Arkhagova, master stylist at the Golden Section beauty salon. — Hydrogen peroxide is not used in such preparations, so the natural pigment is not washed out of the hair. You can enhance your natural shade or make it several shades darker. But, unfortunately, such products cannot radically lighten hair. They can only add any light nuance to already bleached hair.”

Tinting products also help care for curls: they contain vitamins, natural oils and plant extracts. Tint products are available in the form of paints, balms, tonics, masks and shampoos. Be careful with the latter: shampoos have an alkaline environment and with frequent, and even more so incorrect use, you can dry out your hair. “It is recommended to do tinting once a month or 2 weeks after using permanent paint if you need to refresh the color,” says Irina Arkhagova. — If you notice that your colored hair has become drier and duller, add intensely moisturizing balms and masks to your care. But don’t get carried away with nutritional products - they wash out the coloring pigments from the hair.”

Natural dyes

You can also give your hair a beautiful shade using vegetable dyes. They not only change color, but also make hair healthier and accelerate growth. Natural products are suitable for curls in any condition; they are not capable of harming the hair. They are also distinguished by their durability and naturalness of shades.

*Golden tone Common hops, fallen birch leaves, calendula or juniper berries will add hair to your hair.

* Straw color curls can be obtained using yarrow and barley sprouts.

* Chestnut palette will provide dyes from walnut shells, buckthorn bark, nettles, and sea buckthorn.

* Red-golden shades will be given to the hair by chamomile, onion peel and cranberry.

But there is one more important nuance. “It is better to use natural dyes if you do not use industrial ones,” says Irina Arkhagova. - Any dyed hair is damaged to one degree or another and can settle on the scales. If you use permanent or tinted products again, there is a high risk that the resulting color will be far from the desired one, because... particles of vegetable dye will slow down, or even completely change the chemical reaction.”

Recipes for natural hair dyes

- Buckthorn bark decoction

Gives hair a dark brown tint.

1 tbsp. buckthorn bark, pour 200 ml of boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes until the composition acquires a reddish-brown color. Strain it and cool it. Then apply to clean, dried hair and rinse with water after 30 minutes.

Nettle dye can be used daily until the shade of the desired intensity is obtained.

Hair coloring with folk remedies:
Considering the importance of the allergological problem when using cosmetics associated with the use of chemical paints, it is useful to once again remember what nature gives us.

Vegetable dyes are absolutely harmless; in addition, when used correctly, they strengthen hair, improve its texture and growth, and eliminate dandruff. However, vegetable dyes are not capable of lightening hair; they can only give it a “living” shine, coloring it from light brown to black, depending on the type of dye.
If anyone doesn’t know, you can give your hair the desired shade using henna, basma, rhubarb, chamomile, onion peels, green walnut peel juice, and coffee powder.

Henna dyeing:
Henna is an environmentally friendly herbal product (consists entirely of crushed young leaves of the medicinal subtropical plant Lawsonia inermis).
It has remarkable properties: improves the structure and prevents hair loss, strengthens hair roots, eliminates dandruff and itching. Smoothes hair and makes it easier to comb. Especially recommended if you are hypersensitive to the chemical components of conventional hair dyes.
Natural henna is an ideal product for coloring, stimulating growth, conditioning and adding shine to hair. You can also use colorless henna directly to strengthen your hair.

Preparation: place 25-50 g of henna (depending on the length of the hair) in a convenient earthenware or plastic bowl and, gradually adding hot water (90-100 degrees), knead until a homogeneous mass (mush) is obtained. Apply the slightly cooled mixture evenly with a brush onto pre-washed and towel-dried hair and put on an insulating cap. After the dyeing time selected from the table has expired, rinse your hair well with warm water.
The use of soap and shampoo to wash your hair is recommended 3 days after coloring.

The proposed table is approximate; the resulting color depends on the structure, thickness and original color of the hair. When dyeing with henna, the palette of shades obtained is varied: from reddish to dark brown. To obtain a darker color (dark chestnut or black), henna is recommended to be used in a mixture with basma.

Henna dyeing in combination with basma:
Basma is an environmentally friendly plant product containing biologically active substances and natural vitamins (consists entirely of crushed young leaves of the medicinal subtropical plant Indigofera Argentea).
Natural basma is an ideal natural remedy for dyeing hair in dark tones (from light chestnut to black). Used in combination with henna.
It has remarkable cosmetic properties: stimulates growth and gives natural shine to hair, improves its structure and strengthens roots, eliminates dandruff. Smoothes hair and makes it easier to comb.
Especially recommended if you are hypersensitive to the chemical components of conventional hair dyes.

If you take equal parts of henna and basma, you will get a chestnut tone. A 1:2 ratio of henna and basma will give a darker, almost black color. A bronze shade can be achieved by mixing 2 parts of henna and 1 part of basma.

Henna and basma powder are brewed with hot water to a paste consistency and stirred thoroughly so that there are no lumps. A beautiful shade will be obtained if you use an infusion of natural coffee instead of water. When warm, the paste is applied to the hair, dividing it into partings. To avoid staining the skin of your hands, first put on latex gloves.

Before applying henna, it is better to wash oily hair with shampoo; dry hair can be washed without shampoo after dyeing. The mixture of henna and basma is kept for 1 to 1.5-2 hours, depending on what color you want to get. For coloring gray hair, the time should be increased to 2.5-3 hours.
However, women are so accustomed to using overseas henna that they have forgotten about other hair coloring products.

Hair lightening:
For light hair, take 100 grams of dried chamomile flowers, for dark hair - 200. Brew it in 0.5 liters of boiling water and let it boil for 5-10 minutes over low heat. Leave in a sealed container for about an hour, then strain. Moisten slightly damp hair (immediately after washing your hair) generously with the resulting infusion. Don't wipe. Let your hair dry. Wet them like this every day for two weeks. Until you get the desired shade.
Blonde hair acquires a beautiful golden hue if you rinse it with chamomile infusion with glycerin: 100 g of chamomile flowers are brewed with ½ liter of boiling water, left for about an hour, filtered and 3 g of glycerin are added.

I recommend several more complex hair lightening recipes, which also include chamomile:
Recipe 1: you will need 200 g of chamomile, 100 g of Iranian henna, 400 g of vodka and 300 water.
Chamomile needs to be infused with vodka for a week. Dilute henna with hot water and leave for 1-1.5 hours. Then pour the cooled solution into the unstrained chamomile tincture and leave for another 1.5-2 weeks. Strain the finished mixture, squeezing out the remainder. Moisten pre-washed hair with the mixture and leave for 30-40 minutes.
Recipe 2: you will need 10 g of long tea, 50 g of chamomile, 40 g of Iranian henna, 2 glasses of vodka and 1 glass of water.
Pour water into a saucepan and heat it to boiling temperature. Add tea, chamomile, henna in the required quantities and boil for 5 minutes. Then cool. Add vodka and leave for 2-3 days. Strain and squeeze out the rest. Application is similar to the above in the 1st recipe.
Recipe 3: Infuse 150 g of chamomile in 0.5 liters of vodka for 2 weeks. Then strain and add 50 ml of hydrogen peroxide. The method of application is the same.
Recipe 4: (for dark hair): take 100 g of chamomile and pour 1.5 cups of boiling water. Leave for 40-60 minutes, then strain. Add 50 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide to the infusion. Use as in recipe 1.

Hair coloring with onion peel decoction:
If your hair is dyed with onion scales, it takes on a brighter golden tone. To do this, boil the peels of 2-3 onions in 200-250 g of water for 20-25 minutes, then strain the broth.
Every day, use a cotton swab to lubricate your hair with the infusion until the desired shade is obtained. At the same time, even gray hair is dyed. For more intense staining, this procedure should be carried out for a long time.

To tint light gray hair, another way to use a decoction of onion peels is recommended: pour 25 g of onion peels into a glass of water and boil for 15 minutes, filter, add 10 g of glycerin and lubricate the hair daily.

Hair coloring with white willow:
People call it willow grass. Take 10-20 grams of dry willow bark. Chop it finely and pour a glass of boiling water. Boil under a tightly closed lid for 30 minutes over low heat. Then strain. Wet your hair (without drying it with a towel) for 2-3 weeks until the desired golden color is achieved.

Hair coloring with linden:
Linden will help give blonde hair a wonderful brown tint. Prepare a decoction of linden twigs and leaves. For this, 5 tbsp. Boil tablespoons of finely chopped twigs and leaves of the plant in 1.5 cups of water until 1 cup of liquid remains. Wet your hair generously with a cotton swab or brush until the desired color appears.

Walnut hair dye:
Anyone who has collected walnuts knows that their shells are “wrapped” in a green peel, after removing which it is very difficult to wash your hands of brown stains. But few people know that a tincture from this peel can give light brown and dark brown hair a magnificent chestnut hue.

There are several recipes to choose from:
1. Pour 15 g of crushed peel with 50 g of water, add 25 g of burnt alum and 75 g of olive oil. Stir well and let the mixture brew over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Rinse your washed hair with the tincture and let it dry.

2. Boil the green walnut peel with 1 liter of water (over low heat) until 2/3 of the original volume remains. Use the same as in the previous recipe.

3. Take 2 tbsp. spoons of juice squeezed from green walnut peels and mix with 100 ml of alcohol. Lubricate your hair with the resulting mixture. Especially suitable for oily hair.

4. Pour water (1-1.5 l) over the green walnut skins and boil for 3-4 hours until a dark brown liquid is obtained. Then strain the resulting mixture and evaporate it until a thick extract is formed. Add oils to it (in a ratio of 1:2) and, stirring, simmer over low heat until the water evaporates. Cool and store in a cool place.

5. There is another good recipe using green walnut juice. You need to make a tincture from them: take 50 g of water, 75 g of butter, 25 g of alum and 10-15 g of crushed green nut shells.
You can lubricate your hair with nut tincture with a brush and leave the mixture for 40 minutes, then rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water and rinse it with water with the addition of vinegar (1 tablespoon per 1 liter of warm water).
Typically, this remedy is successfully used for graying hair.

6. The recipe is simpler to follow: finely chop the green walnut peel using a meat grinder (or grater), dilute it with water to a paste consistency and apply to hair for 15-20 minutes. If you work with your hands, it is better to use latex gloves to protect the skin of your hands.

7. 150 g walnuts, 4 tbsp. l. olive oil, 50 ml water.
Chop the nuts, add olive oil, stir and add water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and continue heating over low heat for 20 minutes. Wait for the coloring composition to cool and distribute evenly throughout the hair, starting from the roots. Comb your hair first with a fine comb, then with a sparse one. You shouldn't cover your head. After 20-30 minutes, rinse your hair with plenty of warm water.
To obtain a dark chestnut color, you can use an infusion of leaves or green walnut shell. The intensity of the shade depends on the proportions - the more water, the weaker the color.

Hair coloring using tea leaves:
Black long tea can also change hair color, as well as improve its appearance. Science has long known its tonic and healing properties.
If you regularly moisten light brown and dark brown hair with a strongly brewed infusion of tea, it will acquire a reddish-brown tint. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of tea into a glass of water, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Let it brew. Rinse your hair with this decoction.

Gray hair will be well dyed brown or chestnut if you do the following: prepare strong brewed tea (infuse 1 teaspoon of tea leaves for 30-40 minutes under a lid in 1/4 cup of boiling water and then strain).
Mix with the same volume of cocoa powder or instant coffee, stir thoroughly and immediately apply the fresh mixture to your hair. Put a cellophane cosmetic cap on your head and wrap it with a terry towel. After 1-1.5 hours, you need to rinse your hair with acidified water.

This coloring is short-lived, but will allow you to well camouflage gray hair for several days.

Nettle - gray hair is wonderfully dark:
Pour 100 g of nettle into 1 liter of water and leave for a day. Rub the resulting infusion with the herb into the scalp. Do not wash off for 2-2.5 hours, then rinse your hair with warm water without shampoo. After 1.5 months of daily rubbing, you will see hair growing at the roots with almost no gray hair, dark ash color.

You will need

• - chamomile flowers;
• - black tea;
• - water;
• - lemon juice;
• - honey;

Chamomile can also be used to make paint. To do this, pour 150 grams of flowers with a glass of boiling water and leave for half an hour, then bring to a boil and cool.

Natural golden brown color is most often found in girls of the Summer color type.

You can also achieve a beautiful golden hue artificially.

During the Renaissance, dark-haired girls deliberately exposed their hair to the sun's rays so that it would fade and turn light golden.

Golden hair color

Golden goes well with many skin types and tones. The ancient Greeks considered this color a generous gift from Olympus. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, had exactly this kind of hair. Beauties with golden curls appear in a large number of fairy tales of different nations. The expressive light brown color makes the look soft and delicate. It was extremely popular during the Renaissance and remains in a huge number of paintings by prominent masters. Perhaps the reason for its popularity is that the owners of such hair are, as a rule, modest, deep people, prone to creativity and directness. Caramel and copper shades are popular today in Northern and Eastern Europe.

And now is the time to boldly move on to practice.

Chestnut, brown, reddish shades

Golden brown hair color is created using beetroot juice. Mix it with purified water and apply gently to your hair (be careful around the scalp). Let it absorb - this takes 20 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Nobody canceled henna. This is the most natural hair dye. Therefore, it must be used very carefully, in minimal quantities. Do not overdo it with time - otherwise you will end up with a natural red color.

Try cinnamon. It enhances the natural red in the hair. Add 2 teaspoons of crushed cinnamon to a glass of hot water and let cool. Wet your hair and leave for 30 minutes. Then rinse.

Vitamin C, oddly enough, is not only good for health, but also lightens hair. To do this, just grind the tablets to a powder and mix with the base (shampoo, water, egg white, etc.). Apply to hair, massage and rinse. Repeat until the result is achieved.

Another great remedy is olive oil. It also perfectly strengthens and nourishes hair. Don't go overboard with the quantity. Gently apply the desired amount to your hair and leave for 30 minutes to allow the oil to absorb. Then rinse your hair thoroughly. Please note that results can be seen after the first procedure.

Light, bright golden shades

can be done with lemon juice. It does not nourish or strengthen hair. On the contrary, it makes them dry. Therefore, take care of emollients (oils). Apply the mixture to your head and leave for 20 minutes. Then rinse. It is not advisable to use this method often.

Try dried marigold flowers. Mix a cup of water, a cup of apple cider vinegar and calendula. Boil the mixture. Strain the mixture and let it cool. Gently wet your hair, massage and leave for 20 minutes. Then rinse with water.

You can boil the rhubarb root. Strain the liquid and let it cool. Please note - rhubarb can make fairly light hair darker. This product is only suitable for initially dark shades.

As you can see, there are many options. In order to find the right one, you need to be patient. And the main beauty is that these are natural (in some cases useful) products. We wish you success!

Hair coloring with folk remedies is an excellent alternative to traditional chemical dyes. Not everyone can use conventional paints due to intolerance to certain components, allergies and other contraindications. Traditional methods can environmentally and safely dye your hair dark or light, hide gray strands and give your curls the desired shade.

Features of dyeing with natural dyes

Now there are many people who want to dye their hair using folk remedies, since it is easy to do at home. The only drawback of natural paints is their instability; the painting procedure must be repeated every few weeks. The time that the color will stay on the hair after dyeing at home will depend on individual characteristics.

Thus, thin hair holds color better and requires less time for the dyeing process. Before you start dyeing your hair at home, you need to prepare the necessary tools. Folk remedies should be applied with a sponge or swab; you can also paint with a comfortable soft brush. It is also necessary to prepare a blanket to protect the shoulders from paint. Before painting, you should wash your hair with regular shampoo.

Benefits of natural dyes

Hair dyeing using folk remedies is convenient not only because it is done at home. It also has many other advantages, including:

• Taking care of your hair.
• No irritation on the scalp.
• Naturalness of the resulting color.
• It is possible to change your hair color regularly.
• Providing a healing effect on hair and scalp.
• Low price for natural ingredients.
• Possibility of coloring gray hair.

To get the most pleasant experience from dyeing your hair with folk remedies, you should remember a few simple rules. You cannot use natural dyes immediately after dyeing at a hairdresser. The process of saturating your hair with the desired shade is quite lengthy, so you shouldn’t rush and remove the dye in advance. By following these rules, you can easily get good results at home.

Henna and basma

For dyeing hair golden color, henna is considered the best folk remedy. It is a powder from the leaves of alkana or lavsonia. Henna not only gives hair a pleasant color, but strengthens hair from roots to ends thanks to the presence of tannins. Its use at home is quite simple, and for health purposes it can be done weekly.

It must be remembered that henna is effective only on brown and light brown hair; its use on light hair gives a red-orange tint. To give dark hair color, henna is supplemented with basma. The proportions of these components affect the final result. So, if you take henna and basma in these proportions, it will turn out:

1. A 1:1 mixture gives a nice chestnut color.
2. Henna and basma in a 2:1 ratio will give a bronze tint.
3. Henna and basma in a 1:2 ratio will result in a radically black color.

These indicators may vary slightly depending on your natural hair color. To correct saturation, you can reduce or increase the painting time. In addition, dyeing black hair with folk remedies will not give the desired result; the dark and golden color will not appear on it.

To prepare dye from henna and basma at home, you should take their powders in the required proportions. The powders are poured into a glass bowl and mixed until the color is uniform. After this, hot liquid is added to the mixture; it can be either plain water, red wine or coffee. If desired, you can add drops of glycerin.

1. Hair is washed with shampoo and slightly dried without using a hair dryer.
2. The hairline is covered with Vaseline so that the dyes do not transfer to the skin.
3. A mixture of basma and henna is applied along the parting lines using a sponge.
4. To color the ends, add a little hot water to the remaining mixture.
5. After thoroughly applying the dye, the hair should be hidden in a plastic bag and wrapped with a towel on top.

Depending on the desired shade, the paint should be kept for from 15 minutes to an hour and a half. After this time, the paint is washed off with warm water without using shampoo. If your hair is gray, dyeing with these folk remedies takes a little longer, but the result will be very good in any case.

Chamomile

Chamomile is an affordable and popular remedy for lightening hair at home. It has a soothing, softening and regenerating effect, and also gives hair shine and reduces excess sebum production. There are several recipes using chamomile flowers:

1. 1 cup of dried flowers is poured with half a liter of just boiled water and left for two hours. 3 tbsp is poured into the infusion. l. glycerin, after which it is applied to the hair. The hair is wrapped in a plastic bag and a towel for one hour. This folk remedy can dye completely gray hair a golden shade.
2. Dark hair can be lightened with chamomile in this way: pour one and a half glasses of flowers with 1 liter of vodka and leave for 14 days. After this, the infusion should be mixed with 50 ml of hydrogen peroxide, applied to the hair for half an hour, and then rinsed with regular shampoo.

Onion peel

Walnut

Using the green peel of this nut, you can give a bright chestnut shade to your hair; this will look especially effective on light brown hair. In this case, the raw materials used can be dried and paint from the peel can be used at any time of the year. There are many ways to color walnuts, including the following:
