Natural Color Enhancers

Natural Color Enhancers

Brown Hair: Cocoa makes for a deeper, richer brown. 
1/2 Cup of Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Plain Yogurt
1 Teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Teaspoon of Honey  

Whip all ingredients into a paste. Shampoo hair, squeeze out the water, and apply the mask. Keep it on for 2 to 3 minutes. Drape a towel around your neck to prevent the mask from dripping, as it may stain skin temporarily. Rinse, then style as usual.

Blonde Hair: Tea, lemon, and potato enhance sunny shades.
1 Lemon
1 Potato
1/2 Cup of Chamomile Tea

Squeeze the juice from a lemon. Grate a raw potato and blend with the lemon to form a paste. Add 1/2 cup room-temperature chamomile tea and stir. Shampoo, then spread the mask throughout hair, massaging lightly. Cover your head with a PVC-free shower cap or plastic wrap, then lightly heat with a hair dryer for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse, then style as usual.

Red Hair: Carrots and berries boost red tresses.
3 Carrots
1/2 Cup of Cranberries (optional)
3 Tablespoons of Plain Yogurt
2 Tablespoons of Honey

Finely chop 3 medium-size raw carrots in a food processor or blender (add 1/2 cup cranberries if you want copper undertones), and make a coarse paste. Add 3 tablespoons yogurt and 2 tablespoons honey, then mix well. Shampoo, then spread the mask throughout hair, massaging lightly. Keep it on for 1 to 2 minutes and rinse. Style as usual.
