Chamomile and Marigold Infusion

Henna

• Henna is a paste made from the Lawsonia Inermis shrub. It has been used for thousands of years in India to decorate the hands and faces of brides-to-be. Henna can also be applied to the hair. Once the henna has dried, it will flake away naturally and the hair beneath will have absorbed the natural dye within the paste. Pure henna creates a reddish-brown color, but it can be mixed with other herbs to produce black and yellow. Henna can be used repeatedly without health risks.
  
  

Natural Dye Shampoos

• Natural dye shampoos such as Aveda and Artec contain a blend of herbal ingredients designed to lighten your hair. Used as a normal shampoo, these dye shampoos recommend leaving the lather on the hair for several minutes before rinsing. Used daily over a few weeks, the shampoo will begin to lighten the hair. According to Hairboutique.com, you shouldn't expect miracles. Although the shampoo will lighten your hair gradually, if you are dark brunette or black, it is likely never to dye your hair bright yellow.
