These rinses create gradual changes in your hair when used over a period of time; the longer you use them the more dramatic the results. After shampooing try one of the following.

Chamomile: This will lighten fair hair. To make a rinse, pour 2 cups boiling water over 1/4 cup chamomile flowers. Cool. Strain before using.

Rhubarb: This will also lighten hair. Use 1/4 cup chopped, fresh rhubarb to 2 cups boiling water. Cool. Strain before using.

Sage, Lavender or Cinnamon: These will darken hair. Use 1/4 cup sage or lavender, or 3 cinnamon sticks broken into small pieces, to 2 cups boiling water. Cool. Strain before using.

Hibiscus flowers: These will give red highlights to light or dark hair. Use dry flowers or herbal tea containing hibiscus flowers. Steep the flowers in boiling water to the shade you desire. Cool. Strain before using. Remember you can always go darker, so start out with a weak mixture.
