Secret Tip for Intensity
The longer the peels simmer, the more pigment is extracted. A slow, gentle simmer will result in the deepest natural hue.
How to Apply the Natural Dye Safely and Effectively
Before applying, protect your skin and surroundings. Natural dyes like black tea and walnut leaves can stain skin, clothes, and even countertops if handled carelessly.
Wear rubber gloves during application.
Apply a thick layer of cream or petroleum jelly around the hairline, ears, and neck to prevent staining.
Wear an old shirt or towel over your shoulders that you don’t mind discoloring.
If the dye touches your skin, wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth.
Application Method
Start with clean, towel-dried hair.
Using a spray bottle or cotton pad, apply the mixture generously from roots to ends.
Massage it into your scalp for added circulation and nourishment.
Wrap your hair in a towel or use a shower cap to retain warmth.
Leave the mixture on for at least 1 to 2 hours.
Rinse with water only—avoid shampoo for 24 hours to allow the color to set.
