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.
