A rare woman is satisfied 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 them a beautiful shade, turning you, say, from a brunette into a radiant blonde. The only problem is that even the best of the dyes harm the hair because they contain aggressive chemical components. “A good alternative to permanent paints is tinting agents that do not penetrate deep into the hair shaft, but only envelop it, remaining on and under the scales,” says Irina Arhagova, master stylist of the Golden Section beauty salon. - These preparations do not use hydrogen peroxide, so the natural pigment is not washed out of the hair. You can enhance your natural shade or make it a few tones darker. But such products, alas, cannot cardinally lighten hair. They can only give any light nuance to already bleached hair.

And tinting agents help to take care of 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 are alkaline and with frequent, and even more so incorrect use, you can dry your hair. “Toning is recommended to be done once a month or 2 weeks after using resistant paint, if you need to refresh the color,” says Irina Arkhagova. — Noticing that dyed hair has become drier and duller, connect intensively moisturizing balms and masks to the care. But do not get carried away with nutrients - they wash out the coloring pigments from the hair.

natural dyes

You can also give your hair a beautiful shade with the help of vegetable dyes. They not only change color, but also heal hair - accelerate growth. Natural remedies are suitable for curls in any condition, they are not capable of harming the hair. And they are distinguished by durability and natural shades.

* Golden shade hair will be given ordinary hops, fallen birch leaves, calendula or juniper berries.

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

* chestnut palette will provide dyes from walnut shells, buckthorn bark, nettle, sea buckthorn.

* Reddish golden shades will give hair chamomile, onion peel and cranberry.

But there is another important nuance. “Natural dyes are best used 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 tinting agents again, there is a high risk that the resulting color will be far from desired, because. particles of vegetable dye will slow down, if not completely change the chemical reaction.

Hair coloring folk remedies:
Given the importance of the allergological problem in the application of cosmetics associated with the use of chemical paints, it is useful to once again recall what nature gives us.

Vegetable dyes are absolutely harmless, in addition, when used correctly, they strengthen the hair, improve its texture and growth, and eliminate dandruff. However, vegetable dyes are not able to lighten hair, they can only give it a "live" shine, coloring from light brown to black, depending on the type of dye.
If anyone does not know, you can give your hair the desired shade with henna, basma, rhubarb, chamomile, onion peel, green walnut peel juice, coffee powder.

Henna coloring:
Henna is an environmentally friendly plant product (it 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 their roots, eliminates dandruff and itching. Smoothes hair, facilitates their combing. Especially recommended for hypersensitivity to the chemical components of conventional hair dyes.
Henna natural is ideal for coloring, stimulating growth, conditioning and adding shine to hair. And you can also use colorless henna directly to strengthen the hair.

Preparation: 25-50 g of henna (depending on the length of the hair) is placed in a convenient earthenware or plastic bowl and, gradually adding hot water (90-100 degrees), knead until a homogeneous mass (slurry) is obtained. Apply a slightly cooled mass evenly with a brush on pre-washed and towel-dried hair and put on a warming cap. After the dyeing time selected from the table has elapsed, rinse the hair well with warm water.
The use of soap, shampoos for washing the hair is recommended 3 days after dyeing.

The proposed table is indicative, the resulting color depends on the structure, thickness and original color of the hair. When stained 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 coloring in combination with basma:
Basma is an environmentally friendly plant product containing biologically active substances and natural vitamins (it consists entirely of crushed young leaves of the medicinal subtropical plant Indigofera Argentea).
Basma natural is an ideal natural remedy for dyeing hair in dark colors (from light chestnut to black). Used in combination with henna.
It has wonderful cosmetic properties: stimulates growth and gives natural shine to hair, improves their structure and strengthens roots, eliminates dandruff. Smoothes hair, facilitates their combing.
Especially recommended for hypersensitivity to the chemical components of conventional hair dyes.

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

Henna and basma powder is brewed with hot water to the consistency of gruel and stirred thoroughly so that there are no lumps. A beautiful shade will turn out if you use an infusion of natural coffee instead of water. In a warm form, the gruel is applied to the hair, dividing it into partings. In order not to stain 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 gruel of henna and basma is kept from 1 to 1.5-2 hours, depending on what color they 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 forgot about other hair dyes.

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

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

Hair coloring with a decoction of onion peel:
If the hair is dyed with onion scales, it acquires a brighter golden tone. To do this, boil the husks of 2-3 onions in 200-250 g of water for 20-25 minutes, then strain the broth.
Daily, using a cotton swab, lubricate the hair with 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 peel is recommended: pour 25 g of the husk with 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:
In the people it is called willow. Take 10-20 grams of dry willow bark. Finely split it 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 toweling it) for 2-3 weeks until you get the desired golden color.

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

Walnut Hair Dye:
Whoever collected walnuts knows that their shell is "wrapped" in a green peel, after removing which it is very difficult to wash your hands from brown spots. But few people know that a tincture of this peel can give light brown and dark blond hair a magnificent chestnut shade.

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 washed hair with tincture and let it dry.

2. Boil the green peel of the walnut 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 the green peel of walnuts, and mix with 100 ml of alcohol. Apply the mixture to your hair. Especially suitable for oily hair.

4. Pour water (1-1.5 l) into the green peel of walnuts 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, boil over low heat until the water evaporates. Cool and store in a cool place.

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

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

7. 150 g walnuts, 4 tbsp. l. olive oil, 50 ml water.
Grind nuts, add olive oil, mix and pour water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and continue heating over low heat for 20 minutes. Wait until the coloring composition has cooled down and evenly distribute it through the hair, starting from the roots. Comb the hair first with a frequent comb, then with a rare one. You don't have to cover your head. After 20-30 minutes rinse hair with plenty of warm water.
To obtain a dark chestnut color, you can use an infusion of leaves or a green shell of a walnut. The intensity of the shade depends on the proportions - the more water, the weaker the color.

Hair coloring with tea leaves:
Able to change hair color, as well as improve their appearance and black long leaf tea. Science has long known its tonic and healing properties.
If you regularly moisten fair-haired and dark-blond hair with strong brewed infusion of tea, then they will acquire a reddish-brown hue. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of tea with a glass of water, bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes over low heat. Let's insist. Rinse your hair with this solution.

Gray hair will be well dyed brown or chestnut if you do the following: prepare strong brewed tea (leak 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, mix thoroughly and immediately apply the fresh mixture to the hair. Put a plastic 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 it will allow you to mask the gray hair well for several days.

Nettle - gray hair is dark marvelously:
Pour 100 g of nettle per 1 liter of water, insist for a day. Rub the resulting infusion along with the herb into the scalp. Do not rinse for 2-2.5 hours, then rinse your head 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.

golden hair color

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

Chestnut, brown, reddish shades

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

Another great remedy is olive oil. It also perfectly strengthens and nourishes the hair. Don't go overboard with the quantity.

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

Features of staining with natural dyes

Now there are many who want to dye their hair using folk remedies, since it is easy to do at home. The only disadvantage 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.

So, 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, wash your hair with regular shampoo.

The benefits of natural dyes

Hair coloring with the help of folk remedies is convenient not only because it is carried out at home. It also has many other benefits, including:

• Care for hair.

• The naturalness of the resulting color.
• It is possible to regularly change the color of the hair.
• Providing a healing effect on the hair and scalp.
• Low price for natural ingredients.
• Possibility of painting over gray hair.

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

Henna and basma

Henna is considered to be the best folk remedy for dyeing hair in a golden color. It is a powder from the leaves of alkana or lavsonia. Henna not only gives the hair a pleasant color, but strengthens the hair from root to tip due to the presence of tannins. Its use at home is quite simple, while for recreational purposes it can be done weekly.

It must be remembered that henna is effective only on brown and light brown hair, its use on blond hair gives a red-orange tint. To give a 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 such proportions, it will come out:

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

These figures may vary slightly depending on the 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 them.

To prepare paint from henna and basma at home, you should take their powders in the right proportions. The powders are poured into a glass bowl and mixed until a uniform color. After that, hot liquid is added to the mixture, it can be either ordinary water or red wine or coffee. Optionally, 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 petroleum jelly so that the dyes do not pass onto the skin.
3. A mixture of basma and henna is applied along the parting lines with a sponge.
4. To color the tips, add a little hot water to the rest of the mixture.
5. After careful application of the paint, the hair should be hidden in a plastic bag, wrapped with a towel on top of it.

Depending on the desired shade, the paint must be kept from 15 minutes to one and a half hours. After this time, the paint is washed off with warm water without using shampoo. If the hair is gray, painting with these folk remedies takes a little longer, but the result will be very good anyway.

Chamomile

Chamomile is an affordable and popular remedy for lightening hair at home. It has a calming, softening and regenerating effect, as well as adds shine to the hair and reduces excess sebum production. There are several recipes using chamomile flowers:
