CHERRY BARK AND BLACK TEA HAIR COLOR
Prepare a strong tea from black tea leaves and cherry bark. Use as a rinse after shampooing, finishing with a water rinse.
CLASSIC HAIR COLOR (for darkening dark brown and black hair)
1/3 C. walnut shells, black tea, cherry tree bark or cloves 2 1/2 C. water
Simmer colorant in water in a nonmetal pot for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, then strain when cool, saving the liquid. Apply to hair as a final rinse.
RHUBARB HAIR COLOR (for bright lights in fair hair)
3/4 oz. rhubarb root 4 C. pure water
Simmer rhubarb root in water in a covered nonmetal pot for one hour. After cooling and filtering out solids, apply to the hair as a final rinse, pouring the liquid through again and again. Effects are permanent warm/bright overtones. Red wine may be used instead of water for a warmer tone.
