Then use a comb to spread it evenly through hair. One should keep it for at least an hour. It is preferred to sit outside in the sun to make use of this hair dye made out of lemon juice.
4. Coffee
To make hair dye out of coffee, one should brew a strong cup of a dark roast coffee. Then, mix around a half a cup of coffee with 2tbsp of coffee grounds and 1 cup of leave-in hair conditioner. Apply this mixture over damp hair and leave it for at least an hour before washing it out.
5. Sage
To make hair dye at home with sage, one should steep around a cup of dried sage in boiling water for at least 30 minutes. The more time one gives to steep, the darker the tint becomes.
