Red Hair Dye the Simple Way
Did you always want striking red hair but were always too wary to try and make the necessary changes? Take a look at these home-made types of red hair dyes.
It is entirely possible to make a simple red hair dye by using a strong tea which has a combination of cloves or rosehips or even by using strong black coffee. Always try to rinse them through your hair a fair few times (at the very least twelve times), while making sure you use the same liquid. Once the hair has been rinsed, wring it out thoroughly and leave it in for about ten to fifteen minutes. After that, rinse it out once again in water.
Another option is to mix equal parts of beet and carrot juice, pour it over your damp hair. Sit in the sun for one hour or use a blow dryer before washing it out. This option must be repeated every day for several weeks before the change becomes evident.
Another great option is to try henna. Henna is a plant-based hair dye that turns the hair different shades of red depending on your original color: Blondes take on a strawberry blonde, while brunettes take on a coppery shade. Henna fades out over several months but becomes more intense with subsequent use.
Another quick temporary red hair dye is to use red Jell-O or red unsweetened Kool-Aid. Depending on your hair color, these will add intriguing red highlights in your hair but will wash out within a few weeks.
Keep in mind that no matter what you use for red hair dye, this is the hair coloring that fades the quickest. So, for better or worse, you will have to touch it up again in a few weeks. Actually, this could be a relief for those who are nervous about taking the step.
