DIY to Applying Haircolor, Hair Coloring Tips

Here are some haircoloring tips..

Henna

Redheads and wannabe redheads have all the luck when it comes to brightening their tresses. Henna, first favored by the ancient Egyptians and used most famously by Cleopatra, comes from an African plant that produces a natural red dye used in many types of cosmetic applications.

Apply henna with plastic gloves and keep your clothes well-covered since the henna paste (henna powder mixed with water or lemon juice) can make a mess. You’ll need to devote yourself to henna for awhile once you start using it. Switching between henna and chemical based hair dye can cause damage to your hair.

Look in your fridge!

We’ve all heard stories that massaging raw eggs into your hair can make it strong and shiny, and yes, it’s true. For shinier hair, you can beat an egg and massage into just washed hair. Then rinse it out with cool water.

Although you can buy beer based shampoos, it’s okay to take a bottle of beer from the fridge and rinse you hair with it next time you shower. Of course, check to make sure you don’t smell like the town drunk when you go out to that meeting with your in-laws.

DIY for Blondes

Use lemon juice to brighten blonde hair. Squeeze two lemons into a quart of warm water rub it into your hair. Leave it on for ten minutes and then rinse.
