HAIR CARE: NATURAL HAIR COLOURING
Egyptian women spent hours under a kohl pack, tinting their hair as deep a shade of black as the Nile at midnight. For those who chose variety, the leaves of a henna bush were stewed to produce a bright auburn tint. Roman Women of court used a purple willow herb to produce a blonde tint. The Greeks used valerian, which when boiled in oil produced a suitable black dye.
There are several natural hair colourings that will gently tint the hair. Prepare a solution of the following herbs to suit your desired hair colour. To make up a herbal decoction add one cup of herbs to 500 ml of rain water, bring to the boil and leave over night. Strain and use the solution either as a hair rinse, in your shampoos or rubbed into the hair and scalp.
