If you are looking into covering gray hair without the use of poisonous chemicals and treatments, then try coloring the greys with a natural grey hair dye. The hair dye can be made at home. Greys will blend in with the surrounding hair more and more with each application.
The easiest homemade dye can be made by simmering half a cup of dried sage in two cups of water for half and hour, and then steeping the tea for several hours.
The hair dying procedure is equally simple. Hold your head over a large bowl or plastic basin. Pour the gray hair dye over it about fifteen times, reusing the same liquid. After the final rinse, the hair should be saturated with the dye. Let the herbal dye dry onto the hair before rinsing with clear water. For best results, repeat this dying procedure on a weekly basis. Greys will fade away slowly but surely.
You can also make a daily herbal hair dye for coloring gray hair for by adding some rosemary to the sage dye described above. Spray it into the grey hair about five to ten minutes before each shampoo. You may refrigerate the liquid until it is needed. The greys will “dye out” (every pun intended) gradually. The result is natural-looking hair.
Using a homemade herbal hair dye is a fantastic way to darken those greys, naturally and gradually. Also, these procedures will allow you to have subtle control over the effect of the dye and over the amount of grey that is visible.
