Marigold Hair Color

Ingredients:
  • Use this recipe for red highlights in blonde or brown hair.
  • 1/3 cup crushed marigold flowers
  • 2 1/2 cups water

Directions:

Simmer flowers in water in a nonmetal pot for 20 minutes. Remove from heat; strain when cool; saving the liquid. After washing hair; apply the marigold decoction as a final rinse; pouring it over the hair and catching it in a basin to reapply several times. (Red wine may be added to the liquid to intensify the effect.) Allow hair to dry naturally in the sun; if possible. Repeat the rinsing process with subsequent shampoos until you achieve the desired shade.
