have you ever heard of anyone coloring their hair with coffee or tea?

I heard someone mention that the other day as an alternative to henna.

I've never colored my hair, but this sounds kind of cool.

1. Those substances will enhance color but

...unless the hair is exceedingly porous (bleached/damaged) the effect is slight and temporary.

3. I love henna

There is a good website with all kinds of info about ways to color hair with henna, if you're ever interested.

4. If you take a pound of coffee with a quart of hot water, you'll get a fairly nice dye job that...

..will last about 6 weeks. The amount of dye/color is good for about 3 times.
Got the info from one of my friends wife who is allergic to regular hair dye. It looks pretty nice.

5. My grandma used to color her hair with strong tea.

It just looked gray to me, but I was a little kid.

And no, this is not my hair. This is some random girl on the internet's hair.

9. that's interesting, too

the "after" color is almost as dark as my hair was prior to the gray creeping in.

I wonder about hazelnut shells. Lots of them here.

10. You could try dyeing a t-shirt with them and see what color you get.

When I look at websites for natural dyes, none of them list hazelnuts. But it would certainly seem like it should work. So.... I don't know.

8. I knew a girl who reminds my of Cher, she was always changing the color of her hair

But she didn't use nothing that you buy at the store. She liked her hair to be real orange. She uses tangerines.
