Gentle way of dying hair red?
May 22^nd, 2008 at 5:08pm

As you can tell from my avvy and profile, I have dyed dark red (almost reddish-brown) hair. I love it, but as I'm trying to grow my hair much longer, I was wondering if there was a gentler way to dye my hair red? I've heard about using beetroots, but I'm not really sure about how that works. If anyone has any recipies they could share, I'd much appreciate it. My natural hair colour is brown.

I met a lady in the meads &&Full beautiful, a faery's child; &&Her hair was long, her foot was light,&&And her eyes were wild.

I've used henna, but not beetroots. Here you can see how my grays show up red in my dark brown hair with henna:

And after pure henna (grays show up red, but my dark brown is just slightly red):

Henna is PERMANENT. If you want something less permanent, hibiscus rinses do the trick for me:

Tea rinses wash right out after the next shampoo.
