How to Prepare This Plant-Based Hair Dye at Home
This homemade hair dye is simple to create and gentle enough for regular use. You can adjust the intensity depending on your hair color and desired results.
Ingredients
Peels from 6–8 red onions
2 to 3 tablespoons dried sage (promotes darker tones and scalp health)
1 tablespoon ground coffee (adds richness and supports growth)
500 ml to 1 liter of water, depending on how concentrated you want the mixture
Optional: a few sprigs of rosemary or lavender for added scent and growth stimulation
Preparation Instructions
Place the onion peels, sage, and coffee into a saucepan.
Pour in the water—start with 500 ml for a darker, more concentrated result.
Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes.
Add rosemary or lavender during the last 10 minutes if desired.
Allow the mixture to cool, then strain the liquid through a fine sieve.
Transfer it into a clean container for application.
Optional Add-Ins for Deeper Color
To create a stronger, darker version, add one black tea bag or a handful of walnut leaves during the boiling process. For even richer results, green walnut shells can also be included.
