If you’re seeking a new hair color but want a damage-free option, try dyeing your hair at home with natural ingredients. Henna, coffee, and lemon juice allow you to experiment with fun shades without harsh chemicals.
Henna offers a vibrant red hue lasting 4-6 weeks. Mix henna powder with water, let sit 12 hours, then apply and leave in 2-6 hours before washing out.
Brewed coffee darkens hair subtly, covers grays, and washes out gradually over a few weeks. Combine coffee, grounds, and conditioner and leave on hair 1 hour before rinsing.
Lemon juice works as a natural highlighter. Spritz hair with juice, comb through, sit in sunlight 1+ hour, then wash out. The sun activates the lemon to lighten strands.
These easy homemade alternatives provide a safer way to change up your look compared to traditional dyes. And they smell great too! Play with different natural ingredients until you find your perfect temporary color.
