Favorite natural home remedies part one

I decided to share with everyone my favorite home remedies for various things,conditions etc.

Okay so first remedy is the one you probably know. Chamomile,honey and lemon to make blond hair blonder or add some blond highlights to a darker hair color.When I had blond hair and even now when I see my naturally blond hair peaking from my roots and dreads I always used Chamomile tea with honey and some lemon juice to make it brighter,shinier etc.What I do is I boil round 350-400 ml of water and then add 2 tea bags of chamomile tea with honey(or just add 2 ts. of honey) and leave it to boil for 5 min.Then I take it off the stove,cover it and leave it to sit for an hour or so.Afterwards I add fresh juice from a small lemon(too much lemon can really,really dry out your hair),swirl it with a spoon and wash my hair as I normally do.After the whole washing process I spill the tea-mixture on my hair and wrap it in a towel(now that I have dreads I squeeze them because water in dreads-not good).I keep it till the next evening no matter when I had put the mixture in.It's important to spend at least a day with it in your hair.Then I wash it simply with some water.No shampooing.And that's it.If you have time and sun of course,sit and relax for an hour with it in your hair.The results are going to be amazing.Plus your hair will smell so,so nice.
As for red hair,hibiscus tea works great.Just boil 350-400 ml of water,add the tea.Wait 5 minutes.Leave to sit for an hour and wash your hair as you normally do.Then spill the tea on your hair,wrap it in a towel and don't wash it off.Hibiscus tea is great for your hair.
For brown hair.I used to have brown hair as well.Light brown as it is at the end of the summer and beginning of Autumn.My natural hair colors keeps changing in a weird way during the year.It doesn't get the lightest in summer like with most people,but in may and in winter.In summer I can honestly say it's the darkest.Well,that's what you get when you're a mixture of Macedonian,Croatian,Aromanian,Estonian,Russian, Serbian origins.So for brown hair cocoa is great.In 200 ml of hot water and 50 ml of hot milk (altogether)add 3-4 ts. of pure cocoa.But be sure they're hot.Swirl it till you get an equal mixture.Drain it through a drainer,so the sediment from the cocoa is no longer in the fluid.After the washing process spill it on your hair and leave it there.That's it.
I hope that this will help you.In the next part I'll tell you some great face masks.
See you.
