  • 1 wooden spoon
  • strainer

Instructions

  1. Bring the water to the boil
  2. Next, add the hibiscus and saffron to the boiling water and cover
  3. Allow the water to boil for 10 minutes or until it has been reduced by half; it should be dark in colour
  4. Once reduced by half, lower the heat and leave the pot covered for a further 15 minutes
  5. Next, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool until cold
  6. Once the mixture is cooled, strain

Natural Blonde Highlights

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp dried or fresh chamomile flowers
  • 1 tbsp fresh or dried marigold petals
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups distilled water
  • powdered kaolin
  • 1 ceramic bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • strainer
  • foil

Instructions:

  1. Add the water to the pan and bring it to a boil.
  2. Next, add the flowers to the water and let them simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and steep the flowers until cool.
  4. Check the water level; it should be reduced to about half. If not, continue boiling until it has reduced, then strain.
  5. Next, add fresh lemon juice.
  6. Add kaolin clay and mix until a sticky, spreadable paste forms. If the paste is too dry, add more dye water.
  7. Cut the foil into 1-inch-wide, 3-inch-long strips, or longer if your hair requires it.
  8. Separate the hair you want to treat into 1/4 width strands.
  9. Cover the strips in the paste, then wrap the foil around the hair strands.
  10. Avoid getting paste on other hair you don’t want to dye; you want the streaks to look uniform, like natural blonde hair.
  11. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and then check the strip until you have the desired result.
  12. Rinse and condition your hair as soon as you remove the paste; using lemon juice is very astringent.
  13. Repeat the process until you get the desired result.

Notes
Be sure to paste all over the visible roots where the hair is darker. Do not leave this recipe on longer than the recommended time. You can constantly reapply later if you don’t get the desired results. It would help if you made enough paste to begin with.

This will come down to trial and error and how thick or thin your hair is.
