8 Craziest Ways To Dye Your Hair At Home (That Actually Work)

Did you ever have that nagging feeling you need to change something right away, without leaving your house or paying for an expensive salon procedure? One of the best ways to do that is to change your hair colour. Yes, you can actually do that at home with very basic supplies. Some are gentle and natural like carrots and beet roots, while others can help you create the brightest colours you’ve ever seen on your hair. Keep it in mind that these dyes will work differently on dark and light hair tones. Here are 8 craziest ways to dye your hair at home.

Marker Dye

Get yourself a box of washable markers, pick out a few colours you’d like to experiment with, and open up each of them. Inside you will find ink cartridges in form of sticks. Take the first stick, put one end of it into the water until it becomes white-ish – that is the end you can take into your mouth and blow out the ink into a separate bowl. Repeat the procedure with all sticks using separate bowls. Add some hair conditioner to dilute each ink and turn it into hair dye. Then start painting your strands! It’s a good idea to use gloves for protection.

Beet Root Dye

Beet root is one of those natural dyes that can do something for both light and dark hair. To create your very own beet root dye you will need half a cup of fresh beet juice mixed with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Apply the mixture onto your hair, wrap it up, and wait for around 50-60 minutes. In the end you should get a nice purplish tint if you have darker hair and a gentle magenta tint if you have lighter hair.

Pastels Dye

Dyeing your hair with pastels is pretty easy – you just need to pick a few colours you want to put onto your hair. Take one pastel stick, put one end of it into water until it becomes soft and paste-like, then start rubbing it into your hair. The colour will look pretty bright, but pastels do wash off very fast.
