Darking you hair with Tea!

The Lupie Chick

Before commercial hair dyes, people used freshly brewed tea to darken their hair and add long-lasting shine.

A black tea rinse is a cheap and easy way to update your look in the comfort of your own kitchen!

Instructions:

1. Boil 2 cups of water.

2. In a non-metal bowl, pour boiling water over 2 tablespoons of black tea and let steep for 20-25 minutes. Overnight is best.

3. Strain to remove tea leaves.
4. After shampooing, pour tea infusion over the hair. Let sit for 20-30 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

5. Follow with a light conditioner or leave-in for additional softness and manageability.The results with be subtle but you should notice a difference after 2-3 treatments. I hope that helps!
