As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had been using the herbal highlighting shampoo. I noticed a bit of a difference in my hair, but I wanted even more. I looked through my books and even on the internet, but I couldn't find one that used the ingredients I wanted and clearly described its usage. And thus, I made up my own! All of this is done right after regular shampooing.
Grace's Highlighting Hair Rinse
3 bags of chamomile tea
juice of half a lemon
Supplies
Pour in boiling water and add tea bags.
Squeeze in juice from half a lemon.
Allow to steep for 30 minutes.
I poured it into a bowl to then soak my hair in. Make sure it has cooled to a comfortable temperature before appyling.
I ended up having Brad pour it on my head over the tub to get to all the hard spots. Once hair is completely saturated, wrap it up in a towel and allowed it to sit for 20 minutes. Undo and rinse hair.
The results! Happy to have a sunny day to check it out.
I definitely think it worked. Brad noticed the difference too. This rinse pulled the warm tones in my hair and gave it some dimension and shine.
It looks gorgeous. No idea if it's lighter, but it is gorgeous!! Of course so are you.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteyou can always use walnut leaves or green peels infusion for a dark highlight. and coffee is good, I just don't know if it highlights or just helps hair shine.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Thank you. I never knew about those ones.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I stopped highlighting my hair about a year ago and I planned on using peroxide or lemon juice instead this summer. This sounds good too. :)
ReplyDeleteditto, no chemicals on my hair for a year now and loving my natural color, looking to highlight naturally this summer with lemon juice as well, just wonder if being on the gulf of mexico if the sun here will react too much with the acid in the lemon juice in my hair, we have intense sun!
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI used to do this all the time as a teen! Thanks for linking this to Your Green Resource.
