4. Lemon juice

Lemon juice bleaches and slowly lightens the hair by removing its pigments. It is used on light hair to obtain natural golden reflections. Unlike other methods, the effects of lemon are permanent. Why ? Because the pigment of hair treated with lemon disappears. To get rid of discolored hair, you will have to let it grow or cut it.

This coloring is slow and requires more repeated applications to start enjoying the results.

5. Coffee

A good cup of coffee, you can't refuse. But did you know that coffee can also color your hair? It darkens the hair one or two shades, and can even cover some gray hair.

- Prepare 250 ml of very strong and very black coffee. - Mix 100ml with 2 tbsp coffee grounds and 200ml leave-in conditioner. - Apply this mixture to clean, damp hair. - Leave on for at least an hour. - Rinse with clear water when you are finished. - If the result is not dark enough, repeat the operation. Coffee does not drastically change the color of your hair, and only lasts a fortnight. But it's ideal for giving your hair a boost before a date or an impromptu evening.
